A reader-facing cluster for craving, sexual desire, relief, calmness, hope, and regulation-related affect.
Core Principle
Desire & Regulation supports reading semantic profiles that move from need tension and approach motivation toward relief and restored balance.
Included Affects
- Craving
- Sexual Desire
- Relief
- Calmness
- Hope*
Reader Interpretation
- Craving and Relief may occupy different temporal positions within the same episode.
- Hope* may coexist with Threat & Uncertainty because expecting improvement does not mean present threat has disappeared.
Limits
- This region is not a behavioral prescription.
- Calmness does not mean every Core axis is neutral or zero.
Example
While awaiting a medical result, Hope* can coexist with Anxiety; after a benign result, Relief increases and threat appraisal falls, but the transition still belongs in a temporal record.
