Emotional Coherence (E)
Emotional Coherence (E)
定义
Emotional Coherence E is the second component of cognitive coherence B(O,C) — the alignment of the observer's emotional state with the intention regarding a configuration. High E means the emotional system supports and reinforces the cognitive commitment; low E indicates emotional dissonance or conflicting feelings.

Cognitive Coherence B(O,C)
Cognitive coherence B(O,C) is the central measurable quantity of ODTOE that determines how strongly an observer O actualizes configuration C. It is computed as B(O,C) = F^w1 · E^w2 · (1−σ)^w3 · Λ^w4, where F is attentional focus, E is emotional coherence, σ is internal contradiction (entropy of doubt), and Λ is empirical reinforcement.
Attentional Focus (F)
Attentional Focus F is the first component of cognitive coherence B(O,C) — the degree to which an observer's attention is concentrated on a single configuration. F ranges from 0 (fully diffuse) to 1 (perfectly focused); if F → 0, B collapses regardless of the other components.
Internal Contradiction (σ)
The σ parameter in ODTOE is the internal contradiction of an observer — the entropy of doubt regarding a configuration. In the coherence formula B(O,C) it enters as (1−σ)^w3, representing the degree of internal consistency. σ = 1 (maximum doubt, full contradiction) collapses B to zero.
Λ — Empirical Reinforcement
Λ in ODTOE is the empirical reinforcement parameter — the fourth component of cognitive coherence B(O,C) — measuring the accumulated confirmatory experience the observer has within a configuration. It reflects how much past experience supports and reinforces the current configuration.
Weights w1, w2, w3, w4
The four weights w1, w2, w3, w4 in the coherence formula B(O,C) = F^w1 · E^w2 · (1−σ)^w3 · Λ^w4 fix the relative contribution of attentional focus, emotional coherence, internal consistency and empirical reinforcement. They are not free parameters but normalized exponents calibrated against the observer's context.
