>>13011912It is important here to better define emotions as stochastic impulse clustering and that it is a unique pattern recognition approach to reward functions.
One could interpret it as the brain's load-balancing mechanism for neurochemical pathways. Such as if chemical X is low then emotional trigger Y is utilised for pathway Z to 'top up' low values of chemical X.
However because it is a highly individual experience, why people might seek emotion X can appear confusing to external entities as one's emotional cluster usage may clash with an audience's understanding. This is why it is better to identify emotions as an internal load-balancing mechanism of established pathways.
External observers are better served identifying others through reward functions and communicating both their confusion and their certainty to have a balanced relationship structure. Not everyone though has the confidence or maturity required to express both and tend to favour one over the other due to insecurities or lack of education.
So a magpie would overlay their successes events to some predicate observation, cluster that observation to prior known positive chemical expressions (e.g. full stomach), with the resulting external presentation being presented as an emotional expression to a human.
Emotions also serve as clusters that allow for provisioning experimental/trial spaces as a way of stress-testing and quality control for the linked impulse cluster.
