Abstract : In the paper the idea is presented that emotions are
the result of a high dimensional optimization process happening in the
unconscious mapped onto the low dimensional conscious. Instead of
framing emotions as a separate subcomponent of our cognitive
architecture, we argue for emotions as the main characteristic of the
communication between the unconscious and the conscious. We see emotions
as the conscious experiences of affect based on complex internal states.
Based on this holistic view we recommend a different design and
architecture for entertainment robots and other entertainment products
with 'emotional' behavior. Intuition is the powerful information
processing function of the unconscious while emotion is the result of
this process communicated to the conscious. Emotions are the perception
of the mapping from the high dimensional problem solving space of the
unconscious to the low dimensional space of the conscious.
