Emotions and homeostasis. P513. The principle of the emotional criterion in the homeostatic type of management

P512

Emotional evaluations of the perceiving programs of the Plant Soul are the criteria for the states of controlled objects. After all, instinct sees not an object of control, but a stimulus. (3. 8. 6. ) 512

And in terms of criteria, this general emotional background is of great importance. For example, “The problem of multicriteria optimization is closely connected with homeostatics, when it is necessary to agree on criteria that may contradict one another. In homeostatics, this contradiction is not eliminated, but, on the contrary, is used to bring the system to the desired state. ... A huge number of diseases are associated with the fact that the management of the contradiction is going wrong: one of the opposing systems begins to oppress the others, takes the body out of its normal mode of functioning and can even lead to its death. " (Informatics. Compiled by D. A. Pospelov. M.: Pedagogika-Press, 1994. S. 114. )

Special attention should be paid here to the key phrase: " The problem of multiobjective optimization is closely connected with homeostatics, when it isnecessary to agree on criteria that may contradict one another. " But what are these criteria?

“With the development of decision making theory, so-called multicriteria problems, when alternatives are of a complex nature and are described by a large number of criteria, began to be of particular interest. Multi-criteria tasks usually involve comparing criteria in terms of their importance and rolling criteria, i. e. construction of new, secondary criteria for more

general form (the number of which turns out to be significantly smaller), and often the global convolution, i. e. construction of a certain final integral criterion and decision-making based on it. This criterion is usually called a utility function. Having a utility function greatly simplifies decision making. ” (Informatics. Compiled by DA Pospelov. M.: Pedagogika-Press, 1994. р. 28) Thus, thanks to cybernetics, another important aspect of any emotion has become clear to us.

P513. The principle of the emotional criterion in the homeostatic type of management

 Automatic optimization of homeostasis by the autonomic system of the psyche is necessarily based on emotional criteria, which are the emotional facts (data) of its recognizing emotional programs. (3. 8. 6. ) 513

In this system, everything happens automatically, since there is no complex logic there and cannot be.

In the homeostatic type of control, smooth control hormonal influences play an important role.

These emotions (emotional facts) must be directly involved in the formation of the general hormonal background. (3. 8. 6. ) 514

For example, “Physiological arousal that accompanies a particular emotion is, in most cases, difficult to distinguish from arousal associated with some other emotion. However, scientists have identified changes in brain function and hormone levels that correspond to a particular emotion. " (D. Myers " Psychology". Minsk, 1997. р. 345)

This is understandable, since the so-called " hormonal language" is intended not only for one object, but for the system as a whole. It makes up a certain hormonal background (a set of acting hormones). This is a physical phenomenon.
