I am not a psychologist and I am not in a position to do scientific research. This is not a scientific research paper. I just have some ideas I have been working on for more than three decades that I now see are relevant to the Circumplex Model of Affect. I believe I have found some deficits in the model and know how to improve the model greatly. In its own right, the novel structure of Pathoscape has potential to bring together aspects of dimensional models and appraisal models of emotion, and it is uniquely suited for mathematical representation. Pathoscape is certainly worth further investigation by psychologists who can do scientific research, and by AI researchers looking for such a cognitive architecture for understanding or emulating human emotions. Mainly I just want someone to understand what I have discovered before I die. I know that I am onto something important here, but I just don't know how to make it known. Hopefully you can help.
