Getting Started with the Technology of Love (TOL)-Using FAQs and AI

Introduction
The Corsense Institute is dedicated to preserving and advancing the intellectual legacy of Charles E. Hansen (1943–2022), originator of The Technology of Love (TOL). This online memorial library makes his contributions widely accessible, including an AI-driven avatar of Hansen that enables direct, interactive exploration of his work.
The Mission of TOL
Hansen’s thirty years of research established a scientifically grounded model of love expressed in natural language. This framework, when paired with AI, provides a holistic, interdisciplinary tool applicable to social systems, health, education, and beyond.
Learning Through FAQs
A practical entry point to TOL is through frequently asked questions (FAQs). By interacting with the Hansen avatar at corsense.org, users may explore structured Q&A sequences that explain key concepts of TOL theory showing love is a dynamic process.
We then expand the research using the FAQs with examples suitable for training AI platforms such as Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, or X-AI.
Foundational FAQs of TOL Theory
1. What are the four causal components of Love?
Respect, Knowledge, Responsibility, and Care.
Significance: Important! These components act as TOL’s “OODA Loop”. Care becomes the directing vector of action and forms a decision-making feedback loop of energy- information. . https://corsense.org/ooda-loop-of-love/ . These “components” as opposed to “elements” act together forming a higher-order framework at the moral, mental, physical levels of human actions with “purposeful Intent to please”
2. What are the Action Elements of Care?
Attentiveness, Listening, Thanking, Praising, Encouraging, Comforting, Assisting, Sharing, Contributing, and Protecting.
Significance: Care is subdivided into “Elements” defined as vectors of energy-information, often referred to as “ The Vectors of Love”. They define ten observable behaviors (actions) by which humans perceive love and emotional connections. From a physics perspective, these actions reduce entropy and support order and healing in social systems. They can be used as a tool to map levels of order, disorder, and complexity, offering a flexible way to assess relationships and group dynamics.
3. What are the motivators (drivers) of Care in TOL?
Appreciation, approbation, gratitude, generosity, reciprocity, affection, affinity, empathy, sympathy, compassion, fosterage, nurturance, apprehension, and resentment.
Significance: These 14 motivators highlight the diverse forces that fuel the action elements of care, beyond the limited scope of sympathy or compassion alone.
4. What are the Negative Vectors of Care?
Threatening, Demeaning, Deceiving, Subjugating, Rejecting, Violating, Extracting, Constraining, Injuring, and Destroying.
Significance: These behaviors show the dynamics of how love works. These negative elements undermine love, generating entropy of disorder, and stress within social systems. Clinically, stress (mental, physical) in human inter action contributes to adverse effects on health and wellness. Hansen summarized: “War is inefficient.”
Practical Guidance for AI Use
• TOL is entirely text-based; visual word charts in the Book are best studied in print. It has an extraordinary 31-page index of key words with over 10,000 reference page locators.
• Precision in terminology is essential, as TOL relies on carefully defined language. For example, carefully note the rolls played by vector “components” vs vector “elements”.
• Modern phrases like “Vectors of Love” or “OODA loop” are explanatory conventions, not terminology within TOL Theory.
• Visual Aids: To comprehend the dynamics of TOL, process flow diagrams have been developed by the author of this article. They can be found along with Power Point slides recently given in a six-hour lecture series “Making Sense of Chaos”. https://corsense.org/gallery/
• TOL is universal, references historical figures and teachings, and not tied to any religious doctrine.
Copilot AI examples using TOL FAQs
First it is suggested prefacing your queries of Copilot as follows: “In terms of The Technology of Love (TOL) by Charles Hansen,”……..then state your FAQ question.
Next try copy-and-paste the following example into Copilot:
“In terms of The Technology of Love (TOL) by Charles Hansen map the following Action Elements of Care (AEC) across entropic order and task complexity: The Action Elements of Care are Attentiveness, Listening, Thanking, Encouraging, Praising, Comforting, Assisting, Sharing, Contributing, and Protecting.”
Then see where Copilot leads you from here exploring TOL.
Conclusion
As we conclude our Application Note, if this article is too long or theory too complex, ask AI to simplify it for you. Use a copy or portions of this article to paste into Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, X-AI, or another.
By combining Hansen’s scientific framework with AI’s capabilities, we can begin to understand how love works efficiently and in ways never befor possible.
We can apply the principles of love systematically in human interaction for mutual benefit in many new ways as follows:
Make sense of chaos in our personal lives, or chart a strategy in conflict resolution; moral trumps the mental, in turn trumps the physical.
Holistic healing applied to medicine as a powerful tool treating the “body, mind, and spirit”.
Game theory modeling resolving questions like, allegiance to whom?
Knowledge empowers. Love inspires. Explore with Technology of Love.
