Abstract
This document continues the comprehensive simulation of an infant's cognitive development by focusing on the emotion learning stage, emphasizing the state changes in the cognitive space, semantic space, and conceptual space within the Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom-Purpose (DIKWP) Semantic Mathematics framework proposed by Prof. Yucong Duan. By detailing each incremental change as the infant interacts with emotional stimuli and social interactions, we illustrate how cognitive structures evolve during emotion learning. This step-by-step account provides a deep understanding of how exposure to emotions influences semantics and concepts, contributing significantly to the infant's overall cognitive and social development.

1. Introduction1.1 Overview
Emotional development is a critical aspect of an infant's overall growth, influencing social interactions, cognitive processes, and language acquisition. This document simulates the infant's cognitive development during the emotion learning stage, focusing on the state transitions within the cognitive, semantic, and conceptual spaces as modeled by the DIKWP Semantic Mathematics framework.
1.2 Objectives
Detail every state change in the infant's cognitive, semantic, and conceptual spaces during emotion learning.
Provide mathematical representations of these changes.
Illustrate the evolution of cognitive structures influenced by emotional experiences.
Enhance understanding of how emotion learning contributes to overall cognitive and social development.
2. Foundational Concepts2.1 Cognitive Spaces in DIKWP Semantic Mathematics2.1.1 Cognitive Space (C\mathcal{C}C)
Definition: The overall mental space encompassing all cognitive processes, including those related to emotional perception and regulation.
Components: Includes the semantic and conceptual spaces specific to emotional elements.
2.1.2 Semantic Space (SSS)
Definition: A multidimensional space representing the meanings associated with emotional inputs and experiences.
State Changes: Occur when new emotional semantic units are formed or existing ones are modified.
2.1.3 Conceptual Space (CCC)
Definition: A structured space where emotional concepts are formed by organizing semantic units related to emotions.
State Changes: Happen when new emotional concepts are created or existing concepts are updated.
2.2 Mathematical Representation of Spaces
Emotional Semantic Units (sis_isi): Represented as vectors in SSS with attributes like facial expressions, tone of voice, physiological sensations.
Emotional Concepts (ckc_kck): Formed by functions mapping sets of emotional semantic units to vectors in CCC.
State (σ\sigmaσ): At any time ttt, the state of each space is σS(t)\sigma_S^{(t)}σS(t) and σC(t)\sigma_C^{(t)}σC(t).

5. Mathematical Modeling of State Changes in Emotion Learning5.1 Semantic Space Transformations

σS(t+1)=σS(t)∪{snew}\sigma_S^{(t+1)} = \sigma_S^{(t)} \cup \{ s_{\text{new}} \}σS(t+1)=σS(t)∪{snew}.
Strengthening Units:
si(t+1)=si(t)+Δss_i^{(t+1)} = s_i^{(t)} + \Delta ssi(t+1)=si(t)+Δs, where Δs\Delta sΔs is proportional to emotional intensity.
Example:
sfrustration(1)(t+1)=sfrustration(1)(t)+Δss_{\text{frustration}}^{(1)(t+1)} = s_{\text{frustration}}^{(1)(t)} + \Delta ssfrustration(1)(t+1)=sfrustration(1)(t)+Δs.

Formation of Emotional Concepts:
ck=fC({si1,si2,...,sin})c_k = f_C(\{ s_{i_1}, s_{i_2}, ..., s_{i_n} \})ck=fC({si1,si2,...,sin}).
Updating Concepts:
ck(t+1)=ck(t)+γ∑(si−ck(t))c_k^{(t+1)} = c_k^{(t)} + \gamma \sum (s_i - c_k^{(t)})ck(t+1)=ck(t)+γ∑(si−ck(t)).
