(One of) Sloman’s (Beautiful!) Theses

  • These types of emo(on will emerge as a bi-

product of mo+ve processing mechanisms in autonomous agents.*

  • Key concepts:
– Mo+ve processing (mechanisms)** – ASen(on (mechanisms) – Emergence

Emotion Producing Circumstances

  • Losing your full purse
  • Your parents’ pension having been wiped out

(corp. bankruptcy due to exec. fraud)😲/😪/😢

  • Falling in love 😋
  • & Deciding to leave your spouse & children😠
  • Finding you’ve got cancer
  • …

1995-2008 (example progress)

  • Architecture-based ‘emo(on’ concept dis(nc(ons

– Primary ‘emo(ons’ (Alarms) – Secondary ‘emo(on’ – ‘Ter(ary Emo(on’ = Perturbance. [This talk]

  • loss of control of execu%ve func%ons, not of a-en%on.
  • Several Ph.D theses
  • Work on aSachment
  • So]ware Libraries (SIMAGENT, etc.)

  • Perturbance (concept, relabelled as ‘ter(ary

emo(on’) virtually ignored

  • Why is the Perturbance/ H-CogAff beauty

Focusing Phenomenon

  • “Focusing Illusion” Kahneman et al.
  • “Anchoring and Adjustment”
  • “Familiarity increases liking” (“Mere exposure effect”)

Focus on Limerence Because…

  • ↑Clearly perturbant (aSen(on, mo(ve processing, ↑ insistence,

intensity)

  • ↑ Clear evolu(onary significance/func(ons
  • ↑ Clear commitment phenomenon (Aubé, 200x;

ACachment: Dean PeCers).

  • Intermediate/LT Consciousness (Donald, 2001)

– O]en lasts months, some(mes years

  • ↑ ‘Intense’ and ↑ Memorable (though infrequent)
  • → Happiness/misery (meaning, purpose, etc.)
  • ↑ Limerent (Poten(al) Par(cipants on Campus

How Can I Tell You?

Wherever I am girl, I'm always walking with you I'm always walking with you But I look and you're not there Whoever I'm with,

I'm always walking with you I'm always walking with you,

And I'm sad that you can't hear

“Repetitive Thought” (‘RT’)

  • “Intrusive thinking”
  • “Obsession” / OCD
  • “Rumina(on”, “worry”;
  • Transdiagnos(c:

– insomnia, – depression (“depressive rumina(on”, etc), – anxiety (“anxious rumina(on” , etc.), – mania, etc.

  • Pain, addic(ons, etc. (earlier slide)

Watkins’ RT Concept’s Supposed Advantages

  • atheore(cal
  • clearer
  • non-evalua(ve
  • more inclusive
  • ↑ correlated w measures of worry&rumina(on

Watkins’ RT Concept’s Actual Disadvantages

  • atheore(cal: Problem! Cf. physics, chem.
  • clearer: Atheore+cal → ↑Ambiguity.
  • non-evalua(ve: What about normal IP?
  • more inclusive: (a) Not; (b) undifferen+ated.
  • ↑ correlated w measures of worry&rumina(on;

begs ques+on (psychology’s obsession).

Big Software Development Projects Involve System Architects Who

  • Study sys. requirements
  • Design the en(re architecture
  • Consult with/to Components Developers
  • Do not implement mechanisms themselves
  • “Architecture dominates mechanism”

Future Research

  • Today 99% (??) of research papers about [all

forms of] RT are empirical!

  • Remedies/Goals

– Equal amount of publica(on/effort from designer stance. – 80% (?) of empirical work: Use Arch.-based theory

  • Empiricists: use architecture-consultants
  • Beware of Math envy

Future Research (Driven)

  • AI: Engage psychologists successfully:

– Empirical research – ASen(on,1 consciousness,5 mo(va(on2 – Applica(ons (“Affec(ve redirec(on”, insomnia, emo(on)3.

  • Problem of mo(vator iden(ty*
  • Problem of mo(vator development (cf. J

Mitchell’s talk). [tree]4*

  • How is insistence managed?

Why Perturbance (C)

  • Requires the designer stance
  • Promising research programme
  • Specified in terms of whole minds
  • The genera(ve power of mo(ve processing

constructs

  • Framework to explain emo(on episodes
  • Promise of emergence (parsimony)
