Objective take on emotion (Test 1)

Premises:
1. Objectivism does not attempt to address or explain emotions
2. Emotions are generally considered to be subjective (supports 1)
3. Ayn Rand depicts emotions in her fiction, but does not attempt to explain them
4. Ayn Rand's looters and producers both have emotions

Propositions:
1. Emotions have value
2. Emotions arise from perceptual reality
3. Emotions can be objectively explained
4. Objectivism can be expanded to explain emotions

Anything wrong with the premises?

Would anyone enjoy contributing to a post that attempted to prove the propositions?
