Keyserling Emotion Equations: When Sound, Memory, and Meaning Converge

If a song suddenly feels like a memory, this episode shows why: the Keyserling Emotion Equations model emotion as the interaction between incoming sound features and stored memory templates, shaped by body state, baseline mood, and time. It decomposes feeling into valence and arousal, makes resonance computable via spectral comparisons, and includes physiological dynamics.

The framework also handles multiple perspectives by aggregating weighted viewpoints with an entropy-based damping for disagreement, and it proposes clear, testable steps for research, therapy, and AI governance—making musical meaning explicit enough to measure and falsify.
