Emotional Episode Mapper

Map an activation episode

Saved locally on this device

When did this happen? What started it, roughly? Brief note

One or two sentences. Keep it plain.

Shape of the episode

0 means low/none. 5 means high/strong. Tap or hover the ? for examples.

Charge / intensity ? How strong was the emotional or body charge?

3

Speed / onset ? How fast did it arrive?

3

Understandability / coherence ? Could you track what was happening?

3

Movement / passage so far ? Since it began, has it shifted, softened, settled, opened, completed, or become clearer?

3

Return during the episode ? While active, did it circle back to the same feeling, thought, body state, urge, or theme?

2

Return after settling

If it seemed to pass or settle, did it come back later?

Quadrad recruitment · Q

Where did the activation show up most?

Body / physiology Tension, breath, heart, gut, fatigue, arousal

2

Thoughts / cognition Meaning, appraisal, memory, interpretation

2

Urge / behavior Approach, avoid, freeze, repair, check, act

2

Feeling texture · F

Choose 1–3 qualities. These are felt textures, not emotion labels.

Tight / contracted braced, closing, constricted Heavy / sinking weighted, dropping, collapsing Pulled / hooked drawn, caught, fixated Pressured / urgent demand, push, must act Flooded / overwhelmed too much at once Numb / blank flat, absent, disconnected Restless / agitated jittery, unsettled, buzzing Open / softened released, spacious, receptive Sharp / brittle fragile, reactive, cutting Hollow / empty void, absence, vacancy Hard to name unclear, pre-verbal, mixed

Other feeling words

Structure comes from the episode scores. Surface texture comes from these feeling qualities.

Which movement shape fits best?

Choose 1–2. Mixed episodes are allowed.

Spiked came on fast / surged Looped kept returning without resolving Waved came and went in waves Stalled stuck / could not mobilize Dropped / sank activated then fell into heaviness Moved through shifted / completed enough Switched changed into another pattern

Emotion word, if any

Optional. Asked last on purpose.

What helped, if anything?

Live interpretation

Draft EVF read

Visual signature

A rough shape-map of the episode

live

Size = charge / intensity

Height / angle = speed / onset

Alignment = coherence

Opening = passage so far

Near echoes = return during episode

Distant rings = return after settling

Surface marks = feeling texture

Four nodes = body / thought / action / texture presence

Model key

This app treats each entry as an activation episode:

E = (A, V, C, Ps, Rw, Rl, Q, F, M, L)

A = charge/intensity, V = speed/onset, C = understandability/coherence, Ps = passage so far, Rw = return within episode, Rl = return after settling, Q = quadrad recruitment, F = feeling texture, M = movement shape, L = optional emotion label.

About this pilot

This is a minimal EVF data-collection prototype. It does not diagnose emotions. It records movement signatures before emotion labels.

movement signature → possible regime → optional emotion label

The first research question is simple: can people describe emotional episodes by movement shape before naming the emotion?
