[Fis] Reply: Fis Digest, Vol 111, Issue 2

[Eric Werner]

I agree Kate we need a more clear definition of what do you think emotions are as related to information. According to you  Are they a type of information?
Can you be a bit more formal? Complexity is not enough. It’s too vague.
From my reading, you loaded a whole bunch of different concepts together but I haven’t seen the linking yet at least the way I understand it.

I found it tremendously inspiring and am now honored to take the discussion in the direction of the role of the emotional system in biological information processing and basal intelligence.

An inter-disciplinary complex systems approach culminated in an alternative understanding of the emotional system, emphasizing its ancient pre-neural origins in genetic, epigenetic, and immune regulation as well as first forms of sensory-motor control.

Placing emotion in this deeper biological functional context sheds new light our personal, interpersonal, transcendent experiences. I have attached a brief but condensed synopsis of this work, ending with a link to my personal website that houses papers, talks, and even a little ?self-help? seminar book for ?Mastering Emotional Intelligence? I put together some 25 years ago. (There?s a little something for everyone there depending upon how wide or deep the desired dive.)
