Notes

The Ten Operators of the Core Emotion Framework (Canonical List)


The following list represents the authoritative and canonical ordering of the ten Core
Emotion Framework operators and supersedes all prior or informal enumerations.


Head Center
1. Sensing
2. Calculating
3. Deciding


Heart Center
4. Expanding
5. Constricting
6. Achieving

Gut Center
7. Arranging
8. Appreciating
9. Boosting


Cross‐Center Completion
10. Accepting


Note: In some practitioner materials, Accepting is described as the Gut’s “off-mode
balancer,” while Boosting is the Gut’s “on-mode balancer.” For clarity and consistency,
this document classifies Accepting as the cross-center completion operator.
