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

Considering some more, this is actually a really bad metaphor. There is no 1:1 correspondence between thoughts and emotions.

that's like asking "point to part of canvas with no paint on it" Background emotional texture is continuous. Thought is discrete.

A simple example is a baby in pre-verbal state. Cries/smiles randomly in response to sensory and memory processes

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.

"comprehension" is something like discontinuous compression progress events in the process. As in arxiv.org/abs/0812.4360

That sounds more like intelligence at fork - function fitting/reductionism. While comprehending is more of pattern matching.

Comprehension - compressor working on input data, vs intelligence - compressor feedback/modifying itself to compress the data better.

hmm I don't think that's a distinction that actually maps to anything. It's just convenient. Brain not von-neumann arch.
