EmID — EmotionID
The Emotional Fingerprint for Every Moment of Human-AI Interaction
What is EmotionID?
EmotionID (EmID) provides forensic-grade traceability for every emotional inference in HEART-compliant systems. Each EmotionID forms a link in an immutable chain, enabling complete reconstruction of emotional processing history for audit, compliance verification, and legal proceedings.
Key Features:
- Immutable Chain — Cryptographic linking prevents tampering
- 7-Year Retention — Legal Framework mandated preservation
- UESP Integration — Every EmotionID references its source UESP
- Φ Snapshots — Compliance status captured at inference time

Legal Retention
Per HEART Legal Framework Specification v1.2, all EmotionID records SHALL be retained for:
Minimum: 7 years (interaction duration + 2,555 days)
This enables evidence availability for legal proceedings under statutes of limitation.
