Abstract :
Dynamic forms, called sentic forms, are described as language elements of a natural, biologically evolved language of communicating and generating emotions. These forms are genetically programmed into the central nervous system, and can be stored and recognized by computers and robots, and can serve as a basis of real time emotional communication between them and humanes. Music and art also utilize these forms to store and embody emotional meaning. A double-stream theory of music is outlined-including two principles of unconscious musicality which can be realised on a computer-allowing one to create first-rate meaningful interpretations without manual performance or dexterity. New social opportunities and dangers are discussed arising from simulation and virtual reality which may exceed the average human in emotional eloquence. Real-real time is introduced as a concept to include human time-consciousness
