By David Stephen There is a recent report on Politico, Former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax kills wife, self in murder-suicide, police say, stating that, "Former Democratic Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and his wife, Cerina, were found dead in their Fairfax County home in an apparent murder-suicide, police said on Thursday." "Fairfax, Davis said, shot his wife "multiple times" in the basement of their home just after midnight, before firing a gun at himself in a room upstairs. One of the couple's two teenage children alerted the police. The two were in the midst of divorce proceedings, Davis told reporters." The Conceptual Brain Science of Divorce Emotions "The two were pronounced dead on the scene when police arrived at their home, "within minutes of the 911 call," Davis said." What exactly are emotions? Situations of danger may be in disagreements where emotions are charged. But many of the cases where things boil over into violence, like murder-suicide, are, in part, due to the lack of knowing the extent of risk at that precipice. Emotion is a label in psychology, representing descriptions like love, hate, anger, dislike, delight, sadness, trauma, desire, affection, longing, motivation, inspiration, irritation, frustration, acceptance, rejection, disappointment and so forth. Emotions are different from the memory of things, like table, chair, automobile, home and so on. Emotions are also different from feelings, which are bodily-connected, like thirst, appetite, lethargy, energy, sleepiness, satiation, temperature, and so forth. Emotions can be roughly described as unanchored variant of feelings. While appetite can be for food, longing can be for love or affection. Emotions are far stronger than memory. At least because memory is a representation of something, for example, in the external world. Feelings too are powerful. But sometimes, feelings are easily satisfied by solving the external trigger. Say, appetite is solved by eating. Or, to stop eating after the feeling of satiation. Or, to get warm while it is cold, or get some air while it is warm and so forth. So, even as memory and feelings are mental states, they are not as [say] complicated as emotions, which may not be as easily satisfied or interpreted. There could be an emotion of love, and to be with the person loved, yet not [emotionally] experience that the love is enough. There could be the want for something, say a gadget and to get it, but not have the delight [emotion] assumed. There could be hate or dislike without reason, then even after some excellence, it may persist. Trauma could return after a while and so forth. This means that it is necessary to explore or design what might be a conceptual architecture of emotions in the brain. Currently, in neuroscience, there is no architecture of emotions, which is vital in answering against volatile situations like divorce that leap into violence like murder-suicide. This is a reason to theorize what exactly emotions might be in the mind. The human mind In neuroscience, all evidence says that neurons are directly involved in the mechanism of all functions, that makes the brain coordinate human life and experiences. However, when neurons do so, they do with their electrical and chemical signals. Neurons, as cells, are not as anatomically varied as possible to represent all the functions of mind. This means that if there is to be a postulation that is empirically-supported, it would mean that the basis of functions are electrical and chemical signals. Now, since neurons are in clusters, it can be theorized that electrical and chemical signals are in sets and this is how they mechanize functions. There is an article in STAT, Researchers are betting on cockroaches as the cure to elitism in neuroscience, stating that, "..how the brain uses chemical and electrical signals to process and respond to the world." It also states that, "..neurophysiologists work to understand how the nervous system uses chemical and ...
