Emotional Engineering for AI-Oriented Infrastructure Operators

The book expands the commissioned emotions document into a broader guide for AI-infrastructure operators. It treats AFGR as an operator heuristic, not a validated universal psychological sequence. Research, proposed practices, illustrative examples and STPI operating observations are distinguished. No invented author biography, endorsements, customer outcomes or interviews are claimed.
