| Description | A formal vocabulary for representing body-based therapeutic experience in computational systems. The Cathexis Somatic Ontology (CSO) defines 29 anatomical zones, 20 sensation qualities, 7 primary affect systems, 19 brain regions, 11 functional networks, 5 ecological context layers, and 16 territories of human experience. Designed for digital mental health platforms, AI agent integration via Model Context Protocol (MCP), and clinical research. Grounded in constructed emotion theory (Barrett), predictive processing (Friston), primary affect systems (Panksepp), somatic markers (Damasio), neuropsychoanalysis (Solms), the entangled brain (Pessoa), and memory systems and reconsolidation (Kandel)., A formal vocabulary and relational schema for encoding body-based therapeutic experience computationally. Defines entity classes for anatomical zones, sensation qualities, neurobiological organization patterns (territories), therapeutic change mechanisms, brain regions, ecological layers, and intervention architectures, organized within a Markov blanket framework. |
