Abstract—The Formal Theory of Behavior (FT) asserts that emotions are energetic quantities and that the unconscious is an energy and emotional transformation process that is both a scientific and a conflict resolving entity. FT conceptualizes this transformation process as consisting of a syndrome of six emotions. FT identifies four types of conflict resolutions, the relational modalities, as wellness diagnoses. This study uses Large Language Models (LLM) to identify the structure of the unconscious as a syndrome and relational modalities, demonstrating the scientific thesis underlying the unconscious process.
The study trains GPT to recognize FT's distinctions. The trained model is utilized to examine clinical statements, creating stories itself, political speeches, and religious texts. Derived data confirms FT's distinctions, identifying syndromes, relational modalities, and relational pathologies. Implications include improved recognition of unconscious as the atomistic unit of the social sciences and usage of GPT as an assessment technology applied to the analysis of personal samples of creativity.
