Thinking never ends, only starts. Emotions evolve with more conclusions and inferences.

Emotions are echos of thoughts. You cant feel about something you didnt comprehend, or something that's out of your mind for the moment

Thought: Deliberate mental or physical operations with meaning-objects (words, images, sounds, electronic components...)

Interesting. Which part is "comprehension" then? Sensory input->pattern matching->reactions/loops/processing/state change.

I don't think there is such a part. There's just parallel limbic and cortical distributed processes that are coupled
