Core Emotion Framework (CEF): Technical Specification 4 (TS-4)

The Core Emotion Framework (CEF) Technical Specification 4 (TS-4) defines the canonical simulationand modeling protocols for computational implementations of the CEF. Whereas TS-1 establishes theoperational mechanics of centers, processes, operators, and activation dynamics, TS-2 defines theempirical validation architecture, and TS-3 specifies the computational structures and update rules,TS-4 provides the formal procedures, protocols, and methodological standards for runningsimulations, conducting computational experiments, and generating model-based predictions. TS-4 isan architecture-level document: it defines simulation logic, perturbation methods, stability analyses,and reproducibility requirements without prescribing programming languages, software platforms, orapplied case studies.
