This work introduces artificial emotion as a crucial layer in AI, implying its necessity for true consciousness.
Artificial Intelligence then Consciousness Studies then Quantum BiologyEvery artificial intelligence system built since 1956 is missing a foundational architectural layer. That layer is emotion — not performed emotion, not simulated empathy, but a real, measurable, electromagnetic phenomenon. This work names the missing layer AE — Artificial Emotion — and proposes a complete technical, scientific, and philosophical framework for its implementation. The framework consists of 7 Parts, 19 Chapters, 13 Theorems, 13 Buildable Modules, and a full Ethics Framework.
