emotionics 0.1.1

Emotionics API (Python library)

Emotionics

Emotionics is a structural framework for estimating emotional signals from text.
It estimates — it does not diagnose, judge, or determine emotions.

Emotionics is designed to be:

• provider-neutral
• responsibility-explicit
• ethically constrained

Emotionics focuses on structure, not authority.

Quick Start (Recommended)

import os
import emotionics

emotionics.activate(
    llm="openai",
    api_key=os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"],
    model="gpt-5.2",
)

result = emotionics.estimate(
    text="今日も頑張る",
    mode="lite",
)

print(result)

Example output:

{
  "mode": "lite",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "trust": 0.6,
  "surprise": 0.1,
  "joy": 0.7,
  "fear": 0.1,
  "confidence": 0.75
}

⚠️ Emotionics does not ship API keys, models, or hosted services. All LLM usage is explicitly controlled by the user.

Installation

Install the released Lite version from PyPI:

pip install emotionics

Note: This repository is not intended for editable installs (pip install -e .). Please use the PyPI package for standard installation and evaluation.

What Emotionics Does

Emotionics provides: • an emotional coordinate system • an estimation framework • a structured output schema

Emotionics does not: • host models • manage API keys • store or transmit user data • perform medical or psychological diagnosis

Emotionics is a framework, not a service.

Usage

Activation

Emotionics requires explicit activation before use.

emotionics.activate(
    llm="openai",
    api_key="YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY",
    model="gpt-5.2",
)

If activate() is not called, Emotionics raises:

NotActivatedError

This is intentional. Emotionics does not assume default providers or implicit API access.

Estimation

emotionics.estimate(
    text="今日も頑張る",
    mode="lite",
)

Modes

mode="lite" (Available)

•	lightweight estimation
•	low-cost
•	minimal abstraction
•	suitable for experiments and exploration

emotionics.estimate(text="...", mode="lite")

mode="full" (Not available in this build)

The full mode is reserved for future releases. Attempting to use it will raise an error.

LLM Providers

Built-in Thin Wrapper (Recommended)

Currently supported: • llm="openai"

emotionics.activate(
    llm="openai",
    api_key="YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY",
    model="gpt-5.2",
)

This wrapper internally constructs a provider while keeping responsibility boundaries explicit.

Provider Architecture (Advanced)

Emotionics itself does not depend on OpenAI, Gemini, or any specific SDK.

Internally, Emotionics expects a provider implementing:

class LLMProvider:
    def generate(self, *, prompt: str, model: str, **kwargs) -> str:
        ...

Example: User-Side OpenAI Provider

⚠️ This example is not part of the Emotionics library. SDKs may change; this is shown for conceptual clarity only.

from openai import OpenAI
import emotionics

class OpenAIProvider:
    def __init__(self, api_key: str):
        self.client = OpenAI(api_key=api_key)

    def generate(self, *, prompt: str, model: str, **kwargs) -> str:
        response = self.client.responses.create(
            model=model,
            input=prompt,
        )
        return response.output_text

emotionics.activate(
    provider=OpenAIProvider(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY"),
    model="gpt-5.2",
)

This path is intended for: • custom providers • research experimentation • integration into larger systems

Responsibility Boundary (Important)

Emotionics provides: • emotional structure • estimation logic • schema definition

Users are responsible for: • API key handling • model choice • cost control • data privacy • legal compliance

There is no hidden responsibility transfer.

Ethical Notes

Emotionics estimates emotional signals from text.

It is not: • a medical tool • a diagnostic system • a psychological authority

Do not: • use it for diagnosis or treatment • treat outputs as objective truth • use it to manipulate or coerce individuals

Emotionics is intended for: • research • exploration • reflective analysis • abstract understanding of emotional tendencies

Design Philosophy

Emotionics intentionally avoids bundling LLM SDKs.

Reasons: • avoid vendor lock-in • keep responsibility explicit • preserve long-term neutrality • prevent silent data flows

Emotionics does not aim to be the only correct implementation. It is designed to be adapted, modified, and reinterpreted.

Only OpenAI has been tested by the author. Other providers are intentionally left for community-driven implementations.

Version

Project & Contact

Emotionics is an experimental framework for estimating emotional signals from text.
This repository provides the Lite version of Emotionics as a Python library, intended for research, experimentation, and technical evaluation.

The core design philosophy of Emotionics emphasizes:

• Estimation rather than judgment or diagnosis
• Structural interpretation of emotional patterns
• Clear separation between research, application, and ethical responsibility
