I know this is idealistic but I want to make an intelligence that can feel and/or is creative.
And I have a feeling that emotional intelligence can be broken down into a series of abstractions. Mapping emotions to a spectrum of colors, shapes, textures and lines.
And taking stimulus from human willing subjects to gather emotional feedback to map these stimuli to said spectrum.
This is all theoretical, and it's in two disciplines I have a passing knowledge of, but a deep passion for. I want it I want it I want it.
The problem is that I can't seem to find much literature on the notion of generating a color based on emotions. It's mostly the other way around, and it's mostly design theory.
The problem is that the other way around is heavily Influenced by culture. I want a semi universal abstraction.
Eugh, the current models being used for emotions are a 9x9 spectrum utilising arousal and valence as the values.
The problem is that emotions are a near infinite spectrum that blend seamlessly into each other. You can be happened, angryhappy, etc.
Theoretically, they could learn to interpret emotions based on these abstractions- potentially how to recognise them, and even how to elicit them in others. From there it's a logical leap I've yet to make to how to make them feel it themselves.
