They function like a virus in our behaviour. They are powerful forces with inexhaustible energy that are constantly propagated, infecting us. An emotional input, some desire or other, for example, immediately influences the next one, and the latter conditions the following in a chain made up of the links that shape our state of mind. The more intense a feeling is, the more dominant the emotions become, and less efficient is reason. The impulses are greater and self-control is less. And meanwhile our common sense jumps through hoops to re-balance our behaviour.

Emotions thus cannot be dissociated from decision taking. They are our position in relation to the world, to our surroundings. The urban territory also seems to be made up of interconnections, like those in the brain, that are rational and emotional at the same time, in which activities follow a logic of concentration and correspondences.
