Core Emotion Framework (CEF): Technical Specification 5 (TS-5)

The Core Emotion Framework (CEF) Technical Specification 5 (TS-5) defines the canonical
interoperability architecture for integrating the CEF with external psychological models,
computational ontologies, multimodal data systems, and cross-framework taxonomies. Whereas TS-1
through TS-4 specify the internal mechanics, validation logic, computational structures, and
simulation protocols of the CEF, TS-5 establishes the formal rules, constraints, and translation
principles governing all cross-system mappings.

TS-5 is an architecture-level document. It does not include applied examples, clinical interpretations,
or modality-specific reframes. Instead, it defines the structural logic that ensures identity
preservation, directionality integrity, and boundary coherence when the CEF is interfaced with
external systems.
