If everything is of equal consequence, and all natural things are considered of great consequence in and of themselves, then emotional animation and intensity can occur, from the experience of the ordinary events of any given circumstance.

The Equipolent Emotional Dynamic represents the Sensory Response System which is fairly responsive and accordant to the sensory sensations of any given present circumstance, as they accord to the Human Sensory Apparatus, as opposed to conceptualized value and consequence. This means that if one is in the wind, one experiences it as a sensory encounter, as where one is in life, at that moment, and does not experience it based upon conceptions of the way this experience ought to be, like sunny and mild, which is not as it is, and which makes this experience of wind emotionally unpleasant. For instance it may be said to be something short of a full load to like to walk in the rain. In this case the sensory and emotional experience is dictated by conceptualized standards, as may be agreed upon by others, and what is of consequence to them, which may perhaps be a genuine dislike of the rain, or it may be simply be the fear of being thought of as the saying suggests. In which case the conception controls the experience and the emotional response.

The Equipolent and Conceptional Emotional Dynamics have since been upgraded with a number of additions under the headings of the Conservative and Progressive Paradigms. Sensory registration and reaction is relative to associational selection and Consequence. Little or no associative Consequence is called Natural Affection and enhanced consequential Association is called Emotion. Thus Consequence is said to be the emotional linchpin determined thru systems of evaluation called Optimum Correspondence and the Dyadic Authoritative Comparative.
