Comparison of Root Hierarchies

Endeavour-Proper v Renewal+Recovery

The 7 emergent frameworks deal with the special mental effort and re-orientation required by problematic situations. They deal with a way of functioning that is superimposed on ordinary endeavours-proper. The focus is on taking charge of yourself and modulating willingness. This is the determining factor in feeling good about any endeavour-proper in the presence of:

• strong social opposition;
• deep-seated reluctance;
• self-destructive egotism;
• countervailing instinctive tendencies.

This topic shows how the frameworks for endeavour-proper and R+R differ.

Comparison of Formulae/Names

The Root Hierarchy Tree-RHK has been developed as part of the understanding of ordinary endeavour. It is shown below on the left without names. The dynamic duality is Autonomy (A) v Constraint (C). Because this is equivalent to Yourself (Y) v Situation (S), the subscripts have been altered to ease comparison.

The «emergent reordered Root Hierarchy Tree» as originally discovered (and then developed further) is shown below on the right, again without formal-names. The dynamic duality is Yourself (Y) v Situation (S) reversed. The diagram shows that the emergent Tree has the RL5 element in the KL7 position, the RL3 element in the KL6 position, and so on.

The diagrams are now shown below with formal names in Centres. In the Tree on the right, only simple Root Level names are shown with the RL numbers omitted to avoid confusion.

Comparison of Channels

The full diagrams are shown below using the amended Centre names (as previously explained) in the «emergent reordered Root Hierarchy Tree» on the right. The Channel names are those provisionally identified and summarized here.

The Channels are particularly noteworthy. Black channels are natural intra-level influences. Blue channels reflect connections that are in harmony with the original Root Hierarchy Tree. Orange channels are direct influences that are prohibited within the original RH Tree as inappropriate or dysfunctional e.g. in the Tree on the left there is no direct link between Willingness-RL7 and Communication-RL5, or Purpose-RL6 and Action-RL1.

It is notable that the majority of the Channels in the «emergent Tree» are contraindicated in the endeavour-proper Tree (RHK), including all channels that bypass levels. Comparing names of Channels in the two Trees shows marked differences.

The presence of so many contraindicated channels confirms that this re-ordered Root Hierarchy does not represent a true general pattern i.e. it cannot itself be used as a framework in practice with any element in the Centre. It is only operative in the 7 specific cases i.e. with specific elements of the same level from the Primary Hierarchies (as discovered through forcing a reversal of the oscillating duality).
