I have to admit I didn't actually read the article so wasn't trying to compare it with LFB's model, just wanted to expand on the mention of it. The bodily states are the inputs, but the interpretation and generation of emotions is context- and culture-dependent.
The fingerprint idea is that emotions are caused by body states without that layer of interpretation/construction, so you could look at bare metrics like blood pressure, arousal, and facial expression and derive which emotion the person must be feeling directly from them.

What’s the “fingerprint idea”? That’s not mentioned in the article.
I don’t see why this theory contradicts the one in the article, in your own examples you’re using bodily states as the input to emotional processes.
