Dante Amoretti, PhD, PE, Fellow, IEEE, Fellow, IET, IEEE-HKN   Abstract—This study explores the temporal and quantum properties of Unresolved Love (UL), drawing parallels with the resublimated thiotimoline discovered by Asimov in 1948. Much like thiotimoline, UL exhibits temporally irregular behavior, decaying not only in the present but also extending into both the past and future. This paper utilizes the concept of affectrons (i.e., love quantum particles emitted by the cardiac muscle), which directly influence the Cardial Love Density (CLD), the measurable amount of love per unit of volume within the heart. By tracking the concentration of affectrons over time,
