About the Book
The purpose of this text is to reveal that an exact, central science of emotions exists based on a recently designed periodic table of the emotional elements that classifies all known emotions into 25 columns that simulate 25 cortical columns; mapping the general organized operational architecture. Titled the "Columnar Listing for Understanding Emotions" (CLUE)-brain evolves as a higher order of thinking; a progressive behavior educational system to achieve total psychological balance. The CLUE maps the cyclic functional connectivity between 17-25 cortical columns of 17-25 elemental core-actions that evolve(d) 17-25 elemental core-emotions. With children/ancestors acquiring self-consciousness, 17 core-emotions expand(ed) to 25. Serving all ages, this text includes chapters 1-3 for youngsters, chapters 4-13 for students/adults, and chapters 14-15 for research scientists. Both the CLUE abstract (248 words), and manuscript (15,375 words) are included within chapters 14-15. The CLUE-brain reveals the phylogenetic evolution of mankind's emotions, analyzes the evolution of emotion's development through one's life-course, and teaches the unknown study of core-actions/core-emotions, as single units of emotional consciousness that manifest, non-stop our entire life; repeating every moment-to-moment, in our 4-step, core-emotions sequence of: 1. Any CLUE "core-emotion" (CE), 2. Sympathetic CE joy-sadness, 3. CE Self-esteem as pride/power-worthless/powerless, and, 4. CE harmony. This 4-step CE sequence evolved from 1. Any CLUE core-action, 2. Pleasure-pain, 3. Self-preservation, and 4. Homeostasis. In addition, this secret 4-step core-sequence, contains three basic, time-relevant/attention-contingent awakened processes: here-and-now, mechanical attention in "typical evolving cycles", captured attention in "anticipatory typical evolving cycles", and directed attention by conscious will when "upgrading typical evolving cycles". By knowing the 25 core-emotions, the 4-step sequence, and the three types of cycles; any knowledgeable third grader with a CLUE chart, can teach any psychology major the secrets of human behavior; like a child showing Mendeleev's periodic table to Isaac Newton to describe water as H2O. The CLUE reveals 14 Animalia notochord-actions evolved into 14 Animalia core-emotions; 15 core-emotions in Old Mammalia, 16 in Neo Mammalia, 17 by primates, and, 17-25 core-emotions in ancient Homo, when captured attention to one's "self", sparked self-consciousness. For children, the CLUE reveals it takes years to acquire self-consciousness by an accumulative process; captured attention of one's "self" to eight CLUE core-emotions which initiate cognition to discern interior/exterior considerations. The best outcomes to all our actions, are initiated by the proper choice of our step-1 core-emotions within our 4-step core-sequences. The CLUE chart with the core-emotions listed, provides the precise answers in simple terms. At last, kids can fix kids. If scientific terms are needed; then: action potentials by cognitive self-regulated attention-skills, select "central pattern generators" to "pattern-predict" outcomes that modulate attention into attention-trains, creating 25 adaptive core-actions with completed sets of malleable factors, per confluent CLUE column, ameliorating every valence of negative emotions behavior via self-regulation or intervention, so positive valences of unit core-emotion outcomes at harmony, expand core-sequence harmony within subsequent complex behaviors. From top-down and bottom-up: an exact, central, neural science of emotions exists to define one unit core-emotional consciousness, measure emotions value, duplicate research, interface AI with altruism, and provide a robust IES emotions-education system including all malleable factors for intervention's testing, with CLUE on 12 variant Excel spreadsheets for student observation and analysis in alignment with states longitudinal data proce
About the Author: William Schatz was born, 1953, and reared in rural Lancaster County, PA, as a hard-working farm boy, after-school foundry worker, adventure loving boy scout leader, college bound high school varsity jock, and student council president for the unheard. "Express Yourself" was an appropriate label by his classmates, sub-written under his senior year picture in the high school yearbook. Enlisting in the USA Armed forces as a radar specialist he found himself in Vietnam, at nights, behind an oscilloscope, often, directing artillery from jungle locations where he engaged enemy tanks, and subsequently was twice decorated with bronze stars for gallantry in action. By age 19, his dedication to just causes for humanity became common place. And after military service, upon his entry into Millersville State College, as a chemistry major, his amazement at the impact of Mendeleev's Periodic Table of the Chemical Elements, to usher in the Industrial Revolution and Age of Information; prompted Schatz to a commitment with God to search for or design the theoretical "Periodic Table of the Emotional Elements to all Human Behaviors". Inevitably, in love, married, and the father of four children, he toiled as corporate president-owner of Schatz Organics, Bill's Towing, Perceptions Unlimited, Bill Schatz Construction, and founder-principal-owner of nonprofit CLUE Educational Systems. At age 37 after years of discerning emotions at the level of no-thought-processes during secret meditations of the mystic masters, facilitating a super-effort of seven months in isolation to reach sustained neural unity; Schatz super-intuited the CLUE in time-transcendent, pictographic form. The CLUE To D-SELF is a higher order of thinking; self-validating as the exact, central "Science of Emotions" when applied to all the behavioral sciences, and similar to both math, as well as, chemistry when applied to all the physical sciences. Fortunate, indeed, is mankind; the CLUE proves beyond measure that our species is destined by the nature of our core-emotions, to evolve toward an altruistic future of great purpose in bio-ethical standards.
