What is Computer Intuition?

Computer Intuition uses psycholinguistics to retrieve information from the subconscious.

Computer Intuition reads emotions in text.

Computer Intuition uses seemingly unrelated, even inconsistent messages to discover the forces in the subconscious that generated these messages.

Computer Intuition mimics the intuitive process that the person himself uses to consolidate the forces in his subconscious into coherent behavior.

The following graph shows the output of Computer Intuition. The input was a 45 minute in-depth interview. As all interviews, the input included a great number of mixed messages.

Interpretation

The x-axis shows the progression of the conversation from introduction (ideas 1, 2, 3, etc) to conclusion (ideas 477, 478, and 479). The y-axis shows the emotional intensity of every idea. The emotional intensity of ideas 98, 195, 262, and 275 is very high (note the red stars). Take idea 98 as an example. Suppose that idea 98 contradicts idea 112. Which idea will win in the battle for dominance? Which idea will direct behavior? The emotional intensity of idea 98 is more than 90%. The intensity of idea 112 is less than 30%. Although these two ideas contradict each other, idea 98 will win! Idea 98 will turn into behavior. To conclude: the red star ideas hold the key to understanding the person's subconscious and behavior.
