This concept paper introduces the concept of Emotional Architecture applied to the distribution of digital stimuli in algorithmic environments. The study proposes a conceptual framework connecting affective temperament models (AFECT) with the structural organization of informational exposure in digital platforms. It argues that the architecture of algorithmic stimulus distribution may influence emotional regulation processes during user interaction with digital systems. The paper outlines theoretical foundations, proposes a research agenda for empirical investigation, and discusses implications for digital media ecosystems, including the circulation of informational and commercial stimuli in algorithmic platforms.
