Qualia: About Personal Emotions Representing Temporal Form of Impressions - Implementation Hypothesis and Application Example

The aim of this article is to present the new extension of the xEmotion system as a computerized emotional system, part of an Intelligent System of Decision making (ISD) that combines the theories of affective psychology and philosophy of mind. At the same time, the authors try to find a practical impulse or evidence for a general reflection on the treatment of emotions as transitional states, which at some point may lead to the emergence of new emotional qualities ascribed to phenomena (objects or events) perceived by the agent. Since there is a dispute in the literature about the meaning and usefulness of `private' emotions, the article attempts to present in a transparent and technical manner the problem of hypothetical qualia against the background of selected theories of emotions, taking into account the cultural aspect or division. By treating qualia as an expression of individual emotional diversity and learning capacity, qualia can be assigned a quite technical role in modeling the human mind and in implementing autonomous robots and agents.
