Arlo,
Well, I am not really man enough to say anything like that, but if I were, I think I would more likely say that feelings are the derivative of actions. When we speak of intentions we are actually "instantiating" actions. Velocity at an instant is a kind of non-sense which modern science has made good use of. Intention at an instant is a similar kind of nonsense, but I am not sure psychology has made good on it.
