Core Emotion Framework (CEF): Technical Specification 2 (TS-2)

The Core Emotion Framework (CEF) Technical Specification 2 (TS-2) defines the formal empirical
validation architecture of the CEF. Whereas TS-1 establishes the operational mechanics of centers,
processes, operators, and activation dynamics, TS-2 specifies the canonical measurement models,
factor structures, validation pathways, and falsifiability conditions required for scientific evaluation of
the framework. TS-2 is an architecture-level document: it defines general validation logic applicable
across all research contexts and does not prescribe study-specific hypotheses, datasets, or protocols.
