1. Foundations
Why TEG-Code exists and how it sees emotions differently.
‣
What emotional logic or philosophical assumptions underpin TEG-Code?
‣
How does the survival-to-belonging gradient differ from traditional emotional taxonomies?
‣
In what ways does TEG-Code reflect trauma-informed or neurodivergent perspectives?
2. Mechanics
‣
How are behaviors, needs, and protective strategies selected and validated for each card?
‣
Q: How does the card format handle emotional paradoxes or conflicting behaviors?
‣
How does the card format handle emotional paradoxes or conflicting behaviors?
3. Real-World Use
How people and systems can apply TEG-Code.
‣
Can you walk through a real-life scenario using a TEG-Card to decode a relational dynamic?
‣
What changes when someone maps their own behavior using TEG-Code versus being mapped by someone else?
‣
What changes when someone maps themselves vs. being mapped by others?
4. Positioning & Ethics
What makes TEG-Code different—and what it must protect.
‣
How does TEG-Code compare to Plutchik, NVC, or CBT?
It’s less about managing emotions—and more about making emotional logic visible.
‣
What ethical concerns arise when encoding emotional logic into data?
This only works if emotional data is treated as relational, not extractive.
‣
What makes TEG-Code uniquely suited for both human and machine understanding?
5. Future Possibilities
‣
How might TEG-Code evolve with feedback or research?
Eventually, large-scale studies could validate its accuracy and impact. But emotional logic isn’t static—it evolves. And so must the framework.
‣
What would a TEG-Code API or plugin look like in an app?
The API would act like an emotional layer—not to replace humans, but to help them see what’s happening underneath.
