Abstract
We present a minimal field model of communication—resonance geometry—in which 11 core emotions emerge as geometric features of a shared medium rather than as discrete labels. This model extends the Theory of Communication Resonance & Intelligence Tuning (ToCRIT) by translating its qualitative constructs—resonant tethers (connection “wells” between communicators), lucid/drag zones (smooth vs resistant flow of emotion and syntax), and the Cognitive-Emotive Fracture Principle (closeness in syntax or emotion can increase risk of rupture)—into quantifiable field metrics: throughput (𝓣), rigidity (ρ), coupling (k), and hemispheric shear (α).
Additional modifiers include a Ranvier–Stokes analogue (continuity punctuated by “node kicks”) and a death-gravity term (𝔇) capturing salience distortions near conversational endings. Pilot studies reveal that shifts in k and α reliably mark authenticity, rupture, and repair—across public speech, acted grief, and cross-species resonance (e.g., whale vocalizations).
The model offers falsifiable predictions, lightweight measurement protocols, and cross-domain applications—from conversation UX to human–AI attunement. By linking poetic metaphors (wells, rogue waves) to reproducible metrics, resonance geometry operationalizes a fluid-dynamic layer of resonant communication.
