Structure of the Inquiry
The analysis is broken up into sections numbered below. The links provided here take you to the beginning of the relevant section, not to the conclusion.
1. Context & New Taxonomic Concepts
This inquiry introduces some new concepts. These have emerged from the necessity to consider the context of endeavours of any and all sorts. In THEE, that means the context of each and of the as a whole. Biology has already been brought into a relationship with the taxonomy. Now, it appears that physical universe can be naturally included as well.
Because the observations corresponding to these taxonomic concepts are so much part of everyday speech, they are identified by highlighting in different colours. Whether this will be more helpful than confusing is something to discover by trying the system.
2. Review of the Typology
The present analysis covers 24 frameworks in some detail. This is because a Principal Typology cannot be considered alone. In THEE, it is part of what I call here: the Principal Typology Complex (PTC). This includes Types, Modes, the Spiral with its two Cycles, and the Spiral-derived Tree.
The current state of knowledge is ultra-briefly presented for the main frameworks in each PTC, with an indication of the degree of confidence in each.
Aid for Understanding
I will be providing numerous lists of named taxonomic elements, some of which are still provisional, without explanation or justification. That sort of material belongs in the Satellites, not here.
It is difficult to follow analyses and arguments without knowledge of frameworks, and without having worked through justifications for names and formulations.
3. Rationale for the Principal Typology Complex
The investigation commences with the standard scientific question: Why?
Why do Principal Typologies exist?
And continues in the same spirit:
Why are Modes required?
Why is there a Spiral?
A natural rationale is presented in each case based on how it is observed and presumed that human beings function within psychosocial reality. It unexpectedly links to the conjecture about psychosocial pressures, and seems to add further validation.
4. Correspondence with Root Levels
The first analysis investigates correspondences by examining a that was developed and understood long before there was any conception that a existed. This removes the likelihood of bias or fudging.
When this rather obvious correspondence is applied to other , it is not evident in the same obvious way. The conclusion reached is that correspondence needs to be viewed in relation to a hierarchy where the levels interact and influence i.e. the related . The correspondence is accordingly re-ordered and the various are considered.
5. Proper Understanding
Although the correspondence is known with some confidence, there is no understanding of the projection to this point.
A close examination of the psychosocial logic of what is involved in moving from to through two Cycles provides the clues. The next step is to extract the essences of the , which are needed to develop the . Taken alone, these appear to provide a much clearer rationale for the correspondence.
6. Patterns of Psychosocial Pressures
The projection is in part the projection of psychosocial pressures. The particular correspondence found here leads to a surprising pattern, which is examined and explained in relation to both the and its .
The final step is to construct the in the light of these pressures. This construction is then examined in detail using the two Primal Needs (and related) that have had the most study: Achievement and Governance.
7. Review What has been Revealed
The findings are reviewed. An interesting light is also thrown on:
• what constitutes reality and how truth is handled in social life;
• biological evolution and the taxonomy;
• analysis of self-interest and cooperation.
