The Serezian Model: A Structural Theory of Emotional Resonance and Cultural Durability

This article introduces the Serezian Model, a frequency-based structural theory of emotional resonance in cultural production. While aesthetic philosophy and affect theory have long examined emotion in art, resonance has remained either metaphorical or relationally defined. The present study formalizes resonance as a structured alignment process emerging from the interaction of four variables: Structural Frequency (SF), Emotional Density (ED), Cultural Encoding (CE), and Residual Resonance (RR). The model proposes that immediate emotional impact results from the multiplicative interdependence of frequency, density, and encoding, while long-term durability is governed by temporally accumulating residual resonance. By introducing threshold dynamics and non-linear amplification principles, the Serezian Model distinguishes between reaction and resonance, virality and durability, and acceleration and calibration. The framework integrates insights from aesthetic philosophy, affect theory, systems theory, neuroaesthetics, and digital media analysis, positioning resonance as an architectural condition of cultural endurance rather than spontaneous subjective reaction. The article further examines algorithmic acceleration in contemporary digital environments and argues that reaction-driven optimization often undermines long-term cultural persistence. By generalizing the model across artistic domains, the study advances a cross-disciplinary theoretical scaffold capable of guiding empirical research on emotional durability. Ultimately, the Serezian Model reframes emotion in art as structured endurance—calibrated alignment designed for persistence rather than transient stimulation.
