This emotion theory is unique in that every item is connected.
It is a system, not a rhetorical list. Since anything can be
a subject, this is the highest of all possible systems.
I endeavor to get it perfect. I welcome any feedback.

Subject - a cross-utilized unit of a relation
Relation - more than one subject combined together
Extrinsic Subject - subject given to a relation
Intrinsic Subject - subject contained in a relation
Right - if a subject is within an extrinsic subject
Wrong - if a subject is not within an extrinsic subject
Possession - if an intrinsic subject is within a subject
Good - what increases a relation
Bad - what hinders or decreases a relation
Serious - being within an extrinsic subject, also known as relevant
Silly - happiness that is not within an extrinsic subject
Crazy - if an extrinsic subject is ambiguous
Confusion - if the choice of an extrinsic subject is ambiguous

Happiness - occurs if subjects combine and form a relation. There are
five different types of happiness. In order to include non-social
relations in these definitions, the generic term combination is used
symbolized with the letter 'C'.
1stC - occurs when a relation is formed. Here the extrinsic subject is
created.
2ndC - occurs when subjects are combined to an existing relation. Here
the extrinsic subject already exists.
3rdC - occurs as the back and forth dynamics between relations. Here
more than one extrinsic subject is involved.
Leverage - resembles a lever, the relative lowering of a subject in a
relation causes the relative increase of the other related subjects.
This also is known as apathetic happiness. Subjects on opposite sides
of the lever are apathetic to each other. An examples of this is
kidding.
Contentment - is a relative position a subject has in a relationship.
This position is what we mean when we say we are "happy". Here the
word "content" can be used interchangibly. Other terms that also
apply here are "feelings" and "fashion".
^Enjoyment - having what you want (having what gives you contentment)
^Grief - not having what you want
Frustration - not getting what you want
Anger - excessive Frustration
^Distress - having what you don't want
^Relief - not having what you don't want
Unhappiness is, of course, the converse but with separation instead of
combination. Hate is excessive apathy.

Nervousness - anticipation of a combination
Worry - anticipation of a separation
Shyness - excessive Nervousness
Fear - excessive Worry
Anxiety - general term for Nervousness, Worry, Shyness or Fear
Pride - above Contentment
Shame - below Contentment
Dignity - empathetic Pride
Arrogance, Conceit - excessive Dignity
Honor - the action toward Dignity
Jealousy - apathetic Pride
Envy - the action toward Jealousy
Modesty - empathetic Shame
Humility - the action toward Modesty
Pity - apathetic Shame
Pathetic, Pitiful, Contempt - excessive Pity
Disgust - the action toward Pity
Expectation - future Contentment
Hope - the action toward Expectation (to want a future Contentment)
Standard - past Contentment
Surprise - empathetically or apathetically above Standard or
Expectation
Embarrassment - empathetically below Standard or Expectation
Disappointment - apathetically below Standard or Expectation
Elation - excessive Surprise
Sadness - excessive Disappointment or Embarrassment


^The definitions for Enjoyment, Grief, Distress and Relief are from
I. Roseman 1984. Cognitive determinants of emotion: a structured
theory. In P. Shaver (ed.),
Review of personality and social psychology (Vol. 5: Emotions,
relationships, and health). Beverly-Hills: Sage, 11-36.



The name of this system is Subjations which is a blend of words
subjects and relations. What is especially interesting is that even
though it is a model of the mind, it also conforms with evolution.
Every living thing has relatives. One more thing I'd like to add is
something I call the Base Rule. The Base Rule states that, "Related
subjects do not combine for the same reason that unrelated subjects do
not separate." This is a significant factor with morality. There are
only two things that are permanent in the universe, one is the periodic
table and the other is emotion theory.
