Abstract
The Collective Emotional Field Model reframes emotion as a field-based phenomenon emerging from consciousness, Antahkarana configuration, Samskara density, observer awareness and digital influence. The paper supplies a mathematical representation and Structural Equation Modeling pathway for empirical validation.
