The scientific investigation into the architecture of human affect has historically been defined by a fundamental theoretical schism, often characterized as a "100-year war" between discrete emotion models and dimensional frameworks.1 Discrete models, such as those proposed by Izard and Ekman, argue for biologically hardwired, universal emotional categories like fear, anger, and joy, presumed to have evolved as distinct adaptive responses to environmental challenges.1 Conversely, dimensional models prioritize a continuous spectrum of valence and arousal, suggesting that what individuals categorize as emotions are essentially cognitive constructions layered atop simpler physiological states.1 The Core Emotion Framework (CEF) emerges as a sophisticated structural-constructivist resolution to this dichotomy, proposing a modular system that accounts for the complexity of human experience while maintaining a rigorous, repeatable structural foundation rooted in ten universal emotional operators or powers.1Within the CEF, emotions are not viewed as static states or feelings but as functional operators within a complex human operating system.1 This paradigm shift suggests that emotional states are predictable computational events rather than subjective mysteries.1 The CEF operationalizes these processes by decomposing all affective phenomena into a small, non-overlapping set of ten operators, which serve as the emotional equivalent of CPU instructions.1 These operators determine what information is permitted to enter the system, what is filtered out, what actions become available, and how the system predicts the next state.1 The structural integrity of this system is maintained through the dynamic balance of these ten operators, organized across three functional centers: the Head, the Heart, and the Gut.1The central inquiry of this report concerns the specific mechanical and psychological consequences of the state traditionally known as mania, or "manya" in specific clinical adaptations, and whether this state can be managed through a "counting" protocol involving the scalar modulation of the Sensing operator and the reinforcement of operators within the Balancing and Reflecting axes.1Silencing, defined as the modulation of an operator to zero intensity or its complete removal from the functional loop, triggers predictable structural failures within the architecture of resource allocation, behavior prioritization, and state transitions.1 When the emotional architecture becomes locked or when an operator is pushed offline, the resulting distortion leads to phenomena such as identity collapse, chronic anxiety patterns, and the bipolar fluctuations seen in manic and depressive cycles.1Keywords: Core Emotion Framework (CEF), emotional operators, operator silencing, structural psychopathology, bipolar disorder, mania (manya), counting protocol, Outgoing–Reflecting–Balancing axis, operator modulation, identity collapse cycle, embodied cognition, somatic anchoring, state transition function (TS-1), parallel and sequential composition, digital biomarkers, semantic agency.中文摘要(Chinese Abstract)本研究以核心情绪框架(Core Emotion Framework, CEF)为基础,对躁狂状态(manya)的结构性失衡进行了系统分析,并提出以“计数”协议为核心的情绪算子调制方法。CEF 将情绪视为十个可计算的功能算子,而非主观感受,情绪失调被定义为算子静默、过度激活或序列中断所导致的结构性故障。躁狂状态被建模为“外向算子”过度激活(如 Sensing、Expanding、Arranging)与“反思算子”静默(如 Calculating、Constricting)并存,同时“平衡算子”(Deciding、Achieving、Boosting)部分离线,形成“无叙事觉醒”“跳跃式过渡”“边界失控”等临床表现。本文提出的“计数”协议通过下调 Sensing 的标量强度并上调 Calculating、Constricting、Deciding、Achieving 与 Accepting,使系统重新进入规范的算子序列与状态转移函数(TS-1)。研究进一步结合具身认知与躯体锚定技术,展示如何通过精确的身体动作重新激活被静默的算子。本文亦讨论身份崩解循环、语义能动性下降、数字生物标记等结构性指标,强调 CEF 相较传统情绪模型在解释双相障碍中的优势。该协议为双相障碍的结构性干预提供了可操作的机制路径,并为未来的过程型治疗与计算精神病学研究奠定基础。中文关键词: 核心情绪框架(CEF)、情绪算子、算子静默、结构性精神病理、躁郁症(躁狂状态 Manya)、计数调节协议、外向–反思–平衡轴、算子调制、身份崩解循环、具身认知、躯体锚定、状态转移函数(TS-1)、并行与序列组合、数字生物标记、语义能动性。
