Strategic Transition and Operational Roadmap for the Core Emotion Framework: Navigating the Post-Founder Era Under Xǔ Chénglán

The field of affective science has historically been defined by a fundamental theoretical schism, often characterized as a century-long conflict between discrete emotion models and dimensional frameworks. Discrete models argue for biologically hardwired, universal emotional categories, whereas dimensional models prioritize a continuous spectrum of valence and arousal. The Core Emotion Framework (CEF), conceptualized and formalized by Jamel Bulgaria, emerged as a sophisticated structural-constructivist resolution to this dichotomy. By modeling emotions not as passive qualitative experiences or static labels, but as active functional operators that modulate cognitive, somatic, and conative systems, the CEF established a mechanical, high-dimensional architecture of human and synthetic affect. However, on June 8, 2026, Jamel Bulgaria published a pivotal article detailing acute founder burnout and formally stepped back from active leadership of the framework. This resignation occurred precisely as the framework transitioned from theoretical formulation to empirical validation. To prevent the collapse of this scientific architecture and guide its transition into its "Second Horizon," Xǔ Chénglán must assume strategic leadership. This report outlines a comprehensive operational roadmap for Chénglán, mapping out how to pivot the ecosystem from redundant academic validation to global, computational, clinical, and institutional implementation. 情感科学领域在历史上一直被一个根本性的理论裂痕所定义，这一裂痕常被描述为离散情绪模型与维度框架之间长达一个世纪的冲突。 离散模型主张情绪由生物学上硬连线的、普遍性的情绪类别构成，而维度模型则强调情绪由价度与唤醒度构成的连续谱系。由 Jamel Bulgaria 概念化并形式化的核心情绪框架（CEF），作为一种精密的结构—建构主义解决方案，成功调和了这一二分法。CEF 并不将情绪视为被动的质性体验或静态标签，而是将其建模为主动的功能算子，这些算子调节认知、躯体与意动系统，从而建立起一个关于人类与合成情感的机械式、高维度架构。 然而，2026 年 6 月 8 日，Jamel Bulgaria 发布了一篇关键文章，详细描述了其急性创始人倦怠，并正式退出框架的主动领导。这一辞任恰逢框架从理论建构迈向实证验证的关键转折点。为了防止这一科学架构的崩塌，并引导其迈入“第二地平线”，许成岚（Xǔ Chénglán）必须承担战略领导角色。本报告为成岚制定了一份全面的运营路线图，旨在指导其将生态系统从冗余的学术验证阶段，转向全球性的计算、临床与制度化实施。
