- there has to be something to the sentiment which is instrinsic to being
- sentiment must be intrinsic to being
- the intrinsic sentiment found in the expression of being must also be a part of the actions and interactions of that being
- it is difficult to separate the concept of the sentiment from the action
- or to be able to separate sentiment from intent, expectation
- all of these things are complex phenomenae which cannot be measured by any reliable heuristic
- yet they are all present, and agreed to be present, by any reasonable human (at least, we should expect as much, and it would be surprising to see someone arguing against this case)
- so how do we even begin to think about measuring these things?
- How can we measure the degree to which someone is influenced by their emotion?
- or the degree to which an action performed by an individual was influenced by their emotion?
- is this somethign which we can only gauge from the outcome?
- we'd need to be able to evaluate a few things, make observations on a few things
- 1. the outcome itself. This is a strong indicator as to what was being aimed for, if not the strongest indicator
- 2. the facial expression of the being. We could possibly deduce emotion from the expression on the face
- 3. if the being would have plausibly been aware of anything which increases the weight of decisions being made, and if any of those decisions would have, in such a circumstance, be deemed to yield a moral or emotive implication
- even if we have evidence in the 3rd case which makes a handful of actions much more consequential than the rest, and the right means of making the evaluation, there's still no guarantee that something like this could be done perfectly, because we have no way to verify the mind and experience of the subject in question
