Announcing the newly issued U.S. patent concerning emotional
artificial intelligence (patent No. 6,587,846): composed as an
interactive computer interface. It enables a computer to
reason and speak employing emotional parameters, an innovation
based upon a primary complement of instinctual behavioral terms:
namely, rewards-leniency-appetite-aversion. This elementary
instinctual foundation, in turn, extends to a multi-level
hierarchy of the traditional groupings of virtues, values,
and ideals, collectively arranged as subsets within a
hierarchy of metaperspectives - as partially depicted below.
Solicitousness--Rewards Submissiveness--Leniency
Nostalgia--Hero-worship Guilt----Blame
Glory--Prudence Honor--Justice
Providence--Faith Liberty--Hope
Grace--Beauty Free-will--Truth
Tranquility--Ecstasy Equality--Bliss
Appetite--+ Reinforce. Aversion--Neg. Reinforce.
Desire--Approval Worry-----Concern
Dignity--Temperance Integrity--Fortitude
Civility--Charity Austerity--Decency
Magnanim.--Goodness Equanimity--Wisdom
Love------Joy Peace----Harmony
A similar pattern further extends to the contrasting
behavioral paradigm of punishment, resulting in a parallel
hierarchy of the major categories of the vices.
The systematic organization underlying this ethical
hierarchy allows for extreme efficiency in programming,
eliminating much of the associated redundancy, providing
a precise determination of emotional parameters at
issue during a given verbal interchange.
