Emotion as inverse/fractal logic (working title)

I was just considering again how emotion echoes within our consciousness. While emotions likely feel fundamental to most, I have said before that few if any are, rather they are like programs built up from an early age based on genetic and environmental factors lost to memory or in many cases pre memory. Personally I feel I came from a perspective where just of these emotional programs did not take hold early on, and so around the end of highschool it seemed like I needed to establish them intentionally, at least in terms of emotional interaction and empathy with others. I was just trying to consider though a more clear picture of how emotion could develop into how it feels and is reported here and now by adult humans. 

It feels as though emotion is in some senses logic's inverse. Essentially a stimuli hits the processor, but rather than traveling logical channels it is received as one triggering an emotional response of some kind. This forces the stimuli to run a pre-determined path with causes a cascade effect of logical responses which reinforce each other (though sometimes many emotions are triggered in this way at once)
