I classify feelings as foundational values because they are the end goals which motivate behaviour: all other behaviour is instrumental towards achieving those emotional goals.
But if you try and find foundational beliefs, well, that's probably a quick trip to the loony bin. I don't think there are any. The brain only seeks reliable beliefs, not absolute truth.
