> I'm not sure I understand what you mean by ur-* (UnReasoning-*?).

Basic, primordial soup, initial state, starting line, building blocks,
fundamental particles, causal tokens, and so on.

An emotion is an ur-value because many values are derived from it. An
intuition is an ur-thought because all thoughts are intuitions; some are
simply more complex than others.
