I use the following definition of information: information is a structural aspect of the existence of matter. At the present stage of the study of matter, we know three aspects of its existence. The property of matter to be stable reflects the mass (substance).
The property of matter to change reflects energy. The property of matter to have a structure reflects information. These three aspects can merge into each other, but the transition coefficients are very large. The transition of mass into energy has a coefficient
of "the speed of light squared". The transition of energy into information has a coefficient of "one divided by the Boltzmann constant". Therefore, mutual transitions "mass - energy - information" are important only in some cases when energy or information
is present in large quantities and with a high flow density.
<div class="ContentPasted0">The concept of "human personality" does not have the same specific definition. I use the following definition: a human personality is a complex of connections both inside the psyche of a given individual and outside it, that is,
a complex of intrapsychic and social connections that form a unique structure of an individual.</div>
Of course, an estimate of the amount of information contained in a human personality can only be approximate.<br>

<span lang="EN-US">There are two directions in the study of information. One, "humanitarian", explores information processes in living systems. The other ("physical") focuses on the study of information transitions into energy and other phenomena related to
the structure of matter. The separation of these branches looks quite natural if we take into account the difference in the amount of information contained in the studied objects. The total amount of information contained on all media in all libraries, archives
and other repositories of mankind is about a zettabyte (10^23 bits). About the same amount of information contains one human personality. At the same time, the most powerful information processes in non-living systems are limited to giga- and terabit scales.
The difference of ten orders of magnitude cannot but cause fundamental differences in the methods and paradigms of these two spheres of knowledge.<u></u> <u></u></span></p>

<span lang="EN-US">Recently, I have been saddened to observe the cessation of the dialogue between the two branches of information theory. "Humanitarians" and "physicists" increasingly ignore each other. It is unlikely that such trends will help the development
of our ideas about the essence and properties of information. I sincerely hope that the gap will be overcome, including through my modest efforts.<u></u> <u></u></span></p>

<span lang="EN-US">Emotions play a very significant role in all areas related to the human factor [1]. The problem, however, is that the existing theories of emotion seem to fit only within their own narrow field. Attempts to use each of the theories in other
areas are sharply criticized [2, 3].<u></u> <u></u></span></p>

<span lang="EN-US">Our idea is to define emotions as the experience of information flow characteristics. In turn, we understand information as a structural aspect of the existence of matter, along with the inertial aspect (substance) and the dynamic aspect
(energy). We believe that information is no less material than matter and energy.<u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent:35.45pt; line-height:150%; font-size:12pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
<span lang="EN-US">Consider the flow of information through the human senses. Like any flow, this flow can be strong (intense, with a lot of information per unit time) or weak. It can also be ordered (laminar) or chaotic (turbulent).<u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent:35.45pt; line-height:150%; font-size:12pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
<span lang="EN-US">The high intensity of the flow corresponds to the emotions of the group "interest, enthusiasm, excitement". Low - to the emotions of the "sadness, despondency" group. The laminar flow of information corresponds to the emotions of the "conscience,
guilt" group. Turbulent - "fear, anxiety."</span><u></u> <u></u></p>

<span lang="EN-US">Axes "intensity" and "order" are orthogonal to each other and form the basis of the Cartesian two-dimensional space. Thus, we get a "space of emotions", in which everyone points to a certain emotion. For example, the diagonal vector between
the "interest" and "fear" semiaxes corresponds to the emotions of the "anger, aggression" group, and the vector between the "fear" and "sadness" semiaxes corresponds to the emotions of the "anger, aggression" group. groups "disgust, contempt". Diagonally between
the vectors "sadness" and "conscience, guilt" are the emotions of the group "shame", and between "conscience" and "interest" - the group of emotions "joy, pride".<u></u> <u></u></span></p>

<span lang="EN-US">Of course, only a few areas of the emotional space have their own names in any language. Most of the emotions are either "nameless" or indicated allegorically, with the help of comparisons and metaphors.<u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent:35.45pt; line-height:150%; font-size:12pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
<span lang="EN-US">The center of the space of emotions is the state of indifference. In ancient Greek philosophy, this state was designated as "ataraxia", in Sanskrit it corresponds to the term "ahimsa", and in Chinese philosophy - the principle of "wu-wei".<u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent:35.45pt; line-height:150%; font-size:12pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
<span lang="EN-US">The farther from the center, <span> </span>the more intense the emotions. For example, a weak form of the emotion "anger" is called "displeasure, irritation", and an extremely strong emotion from this group is called "rage, fury".<u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent:35.45pt; line-height:150%; font-size:12pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
<span lang="EN-US">The emotions of the left half-plane around the “sadness” half-axis slow down the processes in the body (they act asthenic). When experiencing sadness, breathing and pulse become slower and smaller, metabolism and energy production are inhibited
at the cellular level, and so on. Unlimited growth of such processes can also become incompatible with life. In the same way, other groups of emotions have their own physiological limits on intensity.<u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent:35.45pt; line-height:150%; font-size:12pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
<span lang="EN-US">The bodily aspect of experiencing emotions allows you to associate them with the qualities of the images that a person perceives. The nervous system, and after it, the whole body is tuned to experience the information flow with certain parameters
by changing the balance of neurotransmitters. For example, an increase in the concentration of dopamine and serotonin brings the nervous system into a state that is most effective for experiencing intense flows of information; adrenaline helps to experience
chaotic flows of information, and so on.<u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent:35.45pt; line-height:150%; font-size:12pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
<span lang="EN-US">Sthenic emotions, having a stimulating effect on the body, contribute to an increase in visual acuity, especially color (since the cones in the retina are more mobile in their states than the rods). Other perceptions are heightened as well.
As a result, a person in a sthenic state perceives the world as brighter, more colorful, dynamic, loud and resonant, saturated with intense smells and tastes.<u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent:35.45pt; line-height:150%; font-size:12pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
<span lang="EN-US">Accordingly, the emotions of the sthenic group (“interest” and those close to it) can be stimulated with the help of “hot” images with high brightness, colorfulness and dynamism. Voiced and loud sounds, intense smells and tastes, etc. are
perceived as more interesting.<u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent:35.45pt; line-height:150%; font-size:12pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
<span lang="EN-US">On the contrary, the emotions of the asthenic group (“sadness” and around it) are stimulated by the perception of “cold” images - static, dull and gray. The "sounds of sadness" are quiet and muffled, the tastes and smells are faint and nuanced.<u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent:35.45pt; line-height:150%; font-size:12pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
<span lang="EN-US">Images corresponding to the emotions of the upper half-plane (“conscience, guilt” and those close to them) are distinguished by orderliness and harmony. In terms of visual mode, they rely on classic color chords, clear symmetry and balance.
Their sound is rhythmic and harmonious. In the olfactory sense, natural combinations of taste and smell are used.<u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent:35.45pt; line-height:150%; font-size:12pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
<span lang="EN-US">The lower half-plane of the space of emotions corresponds to emotions of a chaotic type (“fear”, “anger”, “disgust” and those close to them). Such states correspond to colorful, disharmonious, arrhythmic, dissymmetric and dissonant images.<u></u> <u></u></span></p>
