Do you mean an abstract binary packet, which can represent an infinite number of symbolic expressions, or do you mean a specific binary packet, which can be transformed into a photograph of art? I understand we can simplify this argument do

Emotions can do a math kind of thing (additive, subtractive, multiplicative and such) from our personal histories and day to day, unrelated tasks. Lots of people project or distort their emotions in various ways, or they rationalize away em

I would monitor and perform analysis for a grammatically structured pattern across the dialogue, instead of focusing on the individual person as a discrete entity. I would treat a dialogue from t(a) to t(b) as a unit to analyze instead, and
