Are these five an orthonormal basis of the emotion space?

First you need to ground it on behavioral and physiological changes, as it's the most concrete and easy way of identifying "emotions". This theory in pic related seems rather arbitrary, just a classification system using the author's selfish language usage and providing no insight in human nature.

You seem to be lost, friend.

It depens on how you define "basic emotion".

Consesus today AFAIK:

A basic emotion has to comply to 4 criteria:

1) It must have a physiological response.

2) It must have a universal expression on your face, that must be recognizable in spite of the observer's culture.

3) It must be observed in primates.

4) It must help your survival.

Thus, there are six basic emotions as of now:

Surprise, happiness, sadness, fear, anger and disgust.

For the very observant you'll notice that five of them are present in Inside Out. In fact, surprise was considered to be on the cast of Inside Out on some part of development.

No just an orthogonal basis
No way are they unit vectors buddy
