Emotional evidence
emotional responses that contain information about what matters to you, with specific emotional signals indicating boundary violations, alignment, mismatch, and internal conflict
Why This Is a Definition
This definition establishes the precise semantic boundary of 'emotional evidence' by identifying its genus (emotional responses) and differentia (containing information about what matters, with specific signals indicating different value states). It distinguishes this from other uses of emotion by specifying its function in value discovery.
