1. A computer-implemented method for building a template specifying an emotional response to a content stream, the method comprising:
- selecting a dictionary, the dictionary including a plurality of concepts to form a directed set, wherein only one concept is a maximal element;
establishing directed links between pairs of concepts in the directed set, the directed links defining “
is a”
relationships between the concepts in the pairs of concepts, so that each concept is either a source or a sink of at least one directed link;
establishing intentional stance basis chains in the directed set from the maximal element to each other concept along the directed links, where for each pair of concepts in each intentional stance basis chain, one of the pair of concepts is a lineal ancestor of the other of the pair of concepts;
selecting a subset of the intentional stance basis chains to form a basis, the subset of the intentional stance basis chains including at least one intentional stance basis chain;
selecting at least one concept in the dictionary;
creating a state vector in a topological vector space corresponding to each selected concept within a computer, wherein each state vector in the topological vector space includes as at least one measure of how concretely the corresponding selected concept is represented in each intentional stance basis chain in the basis;
assembling the state vectors in the topological vector space into a template; and
associating an action with the template.

Abstract
Starting with a dictionary including concepts and chains, a subset of the chains is selected as intentional stance basis chains (ISBCs). Concepts in the dictionary are chosen and mapped to state vectors using the ISBCs. The state vectors are assembled into a template, and an action and threshold distance are assigned to the template. When an impact summary is generated for a content source, the distance between the impact summary and the template is measured. If the distance is less than the threshold distance associated with the action for the template, the action is performed.

6. A computer-implemented method for comparing a template with a content stream to determine whether the content stream provokes an emotion response, the method comprising:

relationships between the concepts in the pairs of concepts, so that each concept is either a source or a sink of at least one directed link;establishing intentional stance basis chains in the directed set from the maximal element to each other concept along the directed links, where for each pair of concepts in each intentional stance basis chain, one of the pair of concepts is a lineal ancestor of the other of the pair of concepts; selecting a subset of the intentional stance basis chains to form a basis, the subset of the intentional stance basis chains including at least one intentional stance basis chain; selecting a plurality of concepts in the dictionary; creating a state vector in a topological vector space corresponding to each selected concept within a computer, wherein each state vector in the topological vector space includes a measure of how concretely the corresponding selected concept is represented in each intentional stance basis chain in the basis; assembling the state vectors in the topological vector space into a template; associating an action with the template; constructing an impact summary for the content stream, the impact summary including a plurality of state vectors; and comparing the impact summary with the template. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
