[humanmarkup-comment] Why Markup Emotions in Communications

["Bullard, Claude L (Len)" <clbullar@ingr.com>]

It can be noted that in many exchanges on mail lists and 
other forms of human communication, they become very active 
in times of crisis or any situation where the emotions are 
strongly active and affective.  A deeper understanding 
of the intent of such messages should account for the 
tokens in the exchange that stimulate emotional responses.

HumanML cannot resolve problems of human to human 
communication.  It can provide a framework of properties 
to enable the construction of machine-processable descriptions 
that enable better choices of tokens.  HumanML research centers on 
the capacity in *human to machine to human* communications 
to enhance the awareness of the properties of a choice and 
how a given property will alter the interpretation of a 
sequence of tokens (signs, signals, symbols) by a known 
receiver.
