Anybody seriously interested in the relation of emotion to thought
might look into the work of the cognition-affect people at the
University of Birmingham (UK). Check their various web and ftp
areas (clues below). Probably the right message to
cognition_affect-request@cs.bham.ac.uk will get you announcements
like the following (which confirms my basic prejudices on the issue:
money = resource allocation = value = emotion). Another recent title that
I loved was, "Towards a Computational Libidinal Economy." --Steve

>Title: The society of mind requires an economy of mind

>Cognitive Science Research Report CSRP-97-6, School of Computer Science,
>University of Birmingham.
>Abstract:
>
>A society of mind will require an economy of mind, that is multi-agent systems
>(MAS) that meet a requirement for the adaptive allocation and reallocation of
>scarce resources will need to use a quantitative universal representation of
>value that mirrors the flow of agent products, much as money is used in simple
>commodity economies. The money-commodity is shown to be an emergent exchange
>convention that serves both to constrain and allow the formation of
>commitments by functioning as an ability to buy processing power. MAS with
>both currency flow and minimally economic agents can adaptively allocate and
>reallocate control relations and scarce resources, in particular labour or
>processing power. The implications of these views are outlined for MAS
>research and cognitive science.
