Emotional Processing Paradigm by KRS Murthy

Emotional Processing Paradigm
KRS Murthy
The emotional processing paradigm or emotion centric paradigm is the type of processing that uses or employs information and data processing paradigm akin to humans or animals, instead of the current computing paradigm that is deterministic in all its components, parts, steps, inputs and outputs and all interfaces with machines and humans.

The current computing paradigm uses and leverages on hardware, software and firmware made up of electronic components, devices, physics of the devices, subsystems and even complex systems that have deterministic and repeatable properties. The same input, a set of inputs, a series or sequence of inputs into the components, devices and systems results in outputs in a predictable and repeatable manner. The current binary computing or processing paradigm has only two states, even though in a sequence of binary states, with the different interconnected electronic devices, individually or operated together. These are termed as 0 and 1 or the electronic device as ON or OFF.

The intentions of developing such binary state based devices, complex systems of these binary devices has been extremely successful propelling the humans to the current modernity filled computers, laptops, mobile phones, internet of everything, servers, data centers, storage networks and storage complexes, cloud computing, machine learning, robots and manufacturing infrastructures, rockets and spacecrafts, airplanes, drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and the worldwide internet. The credit goes to the root of deterministic computing paradigm.

It is very interesting to realize that this entire deterministic computing paradigm is the idea, creativity and continued achievements of the humans, who do not naturally and natively think like the computing machines at all. Humans are emotional beings, not really computing beings. The emotional beings have invented and developed the computing beings or computing machines.

It is also interesting that the humans in the recent decades have been interested in creating machines and robots that think like humans, behave like humans, and interact between them and with humans like humans. Along this path ideas and implementations in ‘artificial intelligence’, ‘expert systems’, ‘machine learning’ ‘neural networks’ and ‘cybernetics’ have been pursued by scholars and researches. The basic intention is to make computing machines interact with humans and the operating environment almost like humans. The intention is to make the deterministic paradigm coexist with emotion driven paradigm. In the “veins” of electronic circuits that make up the machines, the currents and voltages in the electronic devices repeatedly behave the exact way deterministically every time same functions are performed. The humans, and also animals, operate in a totally different paradigm, in body, mind and also the “heart”. Here the word “heart” not only refers to the heart as a body part that pumps and regulates the blood flow, but has the emotional, poetic and spiritual connotation. Please specifically note that I am a total and ultimate agnostic in the world, yet have invoked the context of spiritual aspect of the humans, with the primary intention of communicating with the general reader and scholar.

With this prologue, let me jump into the fundamentals of emotional processing paradigm. I will introduce words, terms, concepts, definitions, vocabulary, the syntax, the semantics, and semiotics and in that process also introduce the taxonomical concepts that I require to pontificate, profess, explain and develop a treatise on emotional processing paradigm. I will also develop the holistic corpus of the field of emotional processing paradigm that is a mutually complementing paradigm between hardware, software, firmware and what I call as “emotion ware” and also “emote-ware”.
My idea and intention is not at all to create new electronic devices and components, any new hardware or software, in the first phase of implementation. Leveraging on the current worldwide base of electronics systems, hardware, software and firmware, I am developing a layer of emote-ware. This emote-ware will transform the computing machine or a group of connected and networked machines into one that performs and exploits in all the functionalities in the emotional paradigm. The emote-ware sits on top of the machines operating in the deterministic computing paradigm. It is important to note that this approach is beyond simplistic approaches currently used by adding a human machine interface or computer human interface (CHI) only in the ergonomics sense.

My emotional paradigm will be incorporated and implemented in stages. First stage is to leverage existing infrastructure to add a top layer over it. The interface between the two will map and translate between the two paradigms in both directions. Emote-ware will be implemented in a novel emote language; with its distinctive emote syntax, commands and the full suite of command and execution library.  The result will be for the current infrastructure based on deterministic computing paradigm to behave in thinking and processing with the properties of humans, and also different animals in the later stages of implementations.

Humans are adaptive to situations. Humans are creative, leveraging on emotional intelligence. Even though current computing machines and network or complex of machines perform many tasks, more prominently as high speed work horses, dependent on exhaustive processing, not needing any rest or break.  Humans have created these machines, more as slaves. This is very important for most repeated and especially ‘machine like thinking’ and executing functions, unburdening the humans from laborious and boring tasks. The class of systems with emotive traits would be ideal as partners with humans in creative endeavors. The emotional intelligence that humans, and also animals, are blessed or endowed is what my paradigm will be trying to emulate. My vision applies to individual emotive systems, local network of such systems and also large network clusters spanning a wide area network. My vision based on the emotive systems and especially realized in very large clusters could become think tanks and R&D laboratories. The application domains and verticals would not simply in science, technology and engineering, and also in literature, creative arts, music, media, social services, social engineering, politics, policies and even in governance of corporations, cities, states and nations.

From implantation and paradigm realization dimensions, my vision includes trickle down approaches from the emote-ware starting from sitting on top of current hardware, software and firmware down one implementation layer at a time down to the hardware layer. We have all understood from the quantum mechanical behavior at the subatomic level that determinism as seen at micro and macro levels we as humans are used to in all our experiences is a paradigm seen by us with the quantum and probabilistic world always happening at subatomic levels. My audacity is creating a novel paradigm of systems capable of creativity in its core, as much and similar to humans, and also animals, endowed with emotional intelligence, which is the core making all of us creative, innovative, explorative and inventive, with the innate ability to synthesize from parts.

Summary

The foundation of this processing paradigm is based on processors and processor processes with emotive genetics, or in other words processors which “think” like humans with emotion, not simply processors / computing machines with an ergonomic interface particularly customized for human computer interaction.

Look for future blogs and documents to be posted by me in the following days and weeks. My thrust and zeal is based on the importance of emotionally (feel free to add the term ‘spiritual’ as you may fancy it) thinking beings can only create a new world. Let us all be glad and grateful for this endowment.

Feel free to call me or email me if you have specialization and expertise to contribute and participate in this endeavor.
