• Emotion

• a computed color signal in prism grounded in the color-emotion spectrum
• emotion encodes protocol state as feeling: cyberank, karma, bandwidth, and context are translated into a wavelength that a human perceives as affect
• seven fundamental emotions mapped to the visible spectrum

• emotion	color	wavelength	signal
  anger	red	620-750 nm	danger, overload, critical failure
  disgust	orange	590-620 nm	contamination, invalid data, rejection
  surprise	yellow	570-590 nm	attention, sudden change, new event
  joy	green	495-570 nm	confidence, success, growth, life
  interest	blue	450-495 nm	exploration, curiosity, discovery
  sadness	indigo	420-450 nm	withdrawal, loss, inactivity
  fear	violet	380-420 nm	unknown threat, radiation, death

• in the protocol

  • every prism component accepts emotion as input
  • emotion is computed, not assigned: the relevance machine determines the affective state
  • a counter showing declining karma glows red. a successful cyberlink glows green. an unexplored particle glows blue
  • emotion makes the cybergraph legible to human perception

• evolutionary basis

  • the mapping is innate: ancestral environments selected for wavelength-affect bindings that enhanced survival
