I thought about the frustration an infant has, and asked "Why do babies cry?". And I found an answer to my earlier question, what drives intensity up: urgency.The intensity of the appraisal could equal the urgency of the intention. Cheers. ~PM
From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [agi] Defining "frustration" Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2015 15:35:15 -0700 I've been reading Appraisal Theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appraisal_theory for the past year. One approach used Maslow's hierarchy as the dimensions upon which valence and intensity occur. In my case I'm just attempting something simple, using emotion to reprioritize intentions. Using the framework I outlined below. It's a little less than other approaches but I think it will suffice for my needs. I just wanted some feedback. That's all. ~PM From: [email protected] Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2015 15:58:59 +0000 Subject: Re: [agi] Defining "frustration" To: [email protected] Aggression drives up intensity. If you are asking what else drives up intensity, then perhaps look at any of the plethora of emotion wheel charts. There are lots of sources for this sort of thing - there even used to be a poster on this list trumpeting ethical AI classifications - who coincidentally seems to have just moved over to reddit today (based on his postings). Broadening the context a bit - perhaps consider some gradient for the intentions as well, such as Maslow's hierarchy. Motivation certainly plays a role. It appears that you are following a path similar to Barrett's conceptual act model of emotion. Regardless, there are lots of factors that can be thrown into the mix: embodiment, the *varying* effect of valence on reaching a goal, culture, task switching - to name a few.

I understand why the valence would drive down because of lack of success in achieving goals over time. What do you think would drive the intensity up? Thoughts? ~PM From: [email protected] Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2015 01:29:28 +0000 Subject: Re: [agi] Defining "frustration" To: [email protected] Researchers often consider frustration in a social context and correlates it with anger - which in turn correlates with reactive aggression; frustration control (again in a social context) through positive reinforcement. >From such positions, it can be inferred that frustration represents an >increase in negative valence, and via anger->aggression as an increase in >intensity.

Mood - the average evaluation of progress of the system towards its intentions over some long time interval measured as valence (positive or negative) and intensity (weak (-1) to intense (+1)). We can define a mood change as follows: [Mood :Valence negative :Intensity Strong] + [Affect :Valence positive :Intensity Weak] = upturn [Mood :Valence positive :Intensity Weak] + [Affect :Valence negative :Intensity Strong] = downturn The question is how does one define frustration about the AGI's feeling toward an intention, using its current affect and mood?
