About the library

Functional Empathy helps readers understand empathy research through clear questions, original explanations and inspectable evidence. Heart AI Foundation maintains the library. Dylan D. Mobley directs the Foundation’s work.

Research and interpretation

Published source findings, Foundation interpretations and proposed Functional Empathy or Empathy Systems Theory models are different kinds of claims. Listing research or reviewing an explanation does not validate a proposed model.

The collection selects sources with recorded publication-rights evidence. It is curated rather than exhaustive. A paper listing does not imply a completed scientific review. The methods page explains review scope; the Research API documentation describes the same pinned collection.
