Formalizing the Non-Informational Nature of Emotions: An Ontological Analysis of Affective Experience

Abstract

This paper investigates the ontological status of emotions and subjective experiences from the perspective of information theory. Through analysis of informational criteria (codability, transmissibility, reproducibility, and verifiability), it is demonstrated that emotions fundamentally fail to meet the requirements for classification as informational objects. Concrete examples (nostalgia, physical pain, musical catharsis) show the impossibility of reducing emotional states to informational processes. The conclusions have significant implications for philosophy of mind, artificial intelligence, and communication ethics, indicating the existence of an irreducible dimension of human experience.

Keywords

the ineffable, philosophy of emotion, Artificial intelligence, Consciousness, Artificial Intelligence, artificial intelligence, information theory
