Fwd: Emotions

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks Amir,

While I haven;'t done serious research beyond the recognized facial 
expressions for using emotions in behavioral representations, I was 
aware that the cognitive/perceptual models in the field cover a wide 
range of philosophical and scientific approachs to what is a 
difficult topic to tease out of the realm of subjective feelings into 
objective observations and inferences or hypotheses which can be 
accurately tested.

I'm forwarding this to the TC list to keep it in the archive--a 
process which, due to the fact that only TC members can actually 
conduct discussions per se on the list, is becoming a nuisance for 
the secretary, (me), when the current discussions of interest take 
place in other venues due to this restriction.

So, beyond doing this from time to time to capture important relevant 
information, I may post uploads of transcripts and digests of 
discussions and threads conducted in more open for archiving 
purposes. We may need to decide about whether or not to take this up 
with the OASIS policy TAB if we can attract a couple of corporate 
sponsor-members to adopt us. This could get downright tedious.

Ciao,
Rex
