EmID — EmotionID
EmotionID is the unique fingerprint of every validated emotional state — anchoring memory, meaning, and accountability
What is EmotionID?
EmotionID (EmID™) is the immutable identifier assigned to every emotional state processed by MEC.
It serves as a traceable anchor, binding emotional understanding to a specific moment in time, cultural context, and processing lineage.
Just like a fingerprint, no two EmotionIDs are the same.
Each one ensures that emotional data is not just processed — it is remembered, accountable, and ethically trackable.
Where It Lives in the System
EmotionID is created during the ERIS reasoning phase, then attached to the UESP.
It is stored in MEC’s session memory and logging layers, enabling multi-session emotional continuity and full auditability.
Feeds into:
UESP (embedded field)
Recovery Mode (for recall and escalation history)
Conversation Memory (for emotional threading over time)
Why It Matters
In a world of black-box AI, EmotionID brings emotional transparency.
It provides lineage, integrity, and traceability — so every emotional state can be audited, revisited, or protected from distortion.
EmotionID is what makes empathy in MEC persistent, not performative.
