It is now taken as a principle that the apparent correspondences in taxonomic frameworks relate not to the Root Level as such, but rather to a Psychosocial Pressure that is intrinsic to the Root Level.
The Psychosocial Pressures function as internal and external drivers or motivators. They are probably of neurobiological origin and they cannot be turned off. However, their manifestations may be suppressed.
Explanation with Two Examples
Any explanation of the ordering of the psychosocial pressures must apply equally to every Structural Hierarchy within the taxonomy. (It is currently estimated that there are 67 in all.)
I will use Action-PH1 and Inquiry-PH2 as my examples for the Fundamental sH-Triplets.
Domain
Tree: Primal Vehicle
sH: Primal Effect
Tree: Primal Field
RL2: Inquiry
A Considered Analysis
Making Discoveries
A Scientific Study
RL1: Action
A Deliberate Activity
Producing Results
A Credible Course
The Primal Vehicle in the Action Domain is A Deliberate Activity. The Field both created by deliberate activities and within which deliberate activities get their meaning is A Credible Course of Action.
Abbreviations: Levels in the originating Tree are marked L, while Levels in the final Tree are marked G (which correctly ties them to the sH Groupings).
G1 is the foundation of the Field, everything must find its basis there. It appears to be under the pressure of Autonomy.
Action Domain: G1 = initiate activities.
Inquiry Domain: G1 = ask questions.
In both examples, it seems evident that if your heart is not in it, if you do not feel that you personally own the field, preferably are in charge of it, then the scientific study is unlikely to bear fruit, and the course of action likewise will go nowhere. A quick review of alternative pressures seems confirmatory. Detail
performance—because performance is primarily a matter for the vehicle and for the structural hierarchy as a whole.
certainty—would be paradoxical because the field is intrinsically highly uncertain, and it seems unlikely to could be grounded in certainty.
acceptability—carries little weight at this level, and choices that are unacceptable may be possible or even required.
well-being—seems irrelevant at this ground level.
understanding—seems irrelevant at this ground level.
selflessness—seems to be asking to much at this ground level.
G2 typically provides a control that effectively guides the use of G1. It appears to be under the pressure of Understanding. It seems evident that once Autonomy is activated, it is essential to be able to communicate those autonomous choices both to oneself and others.
Action Domain: G2 = shape proceedings.
Inquiry Domain: G2 = specify assumptions.
The dyads link adjacent Ls (Monads) and overlap. This ensures a consistency and coherence in the structure of the field (i.e. the course of action or the scientific study).
G3 is typically the context and appears to be under a pressure for Performance, the RL1 pressure. It is noticeable that the correspondence then continues in ascending RL order so that:
G4 is under the RL2 pressure for Certainty,
G5 is under the RL3 pressure for Acceptability,
G6 is under the RL4 pressure for Well-being
That only leaves the RL7 pressure for Selflessness which is assigned to G7.
G3-Outputs are the natural stage following decisions about the G1-initial activities and clarity about the G2-way of proceeding, and obviously driven by Performance.
G4-Operational Control must be driven by a pressure for Certainty. G4 is the heart of the field, connected directly to all other Centres except G1.
Note: For all Domains, it makes sense for Certainty to be centrally located in relation to the Field because the Field is the context for the operation of the Primal Vehicle. Without conviction and confidence in regard to the Field, little can be achieved.
G5-Efforts are naturally driven by Acceptability because there must ultimately be social control over any field of study and changes within it.
G6-Determination & G7-Outcome relate to the course of action continuing to be relevant. This is most likely if both personal and social factors combine to make it so. This is achieved on the one hand by the pressure for Well-being being met at G6, and on the other the pressure for Selflessness being satisfied at G7.
G3-Investigations are the natural stage following decisions about the G1-question and clarity about the G2-assumptions and obviously driven by Performance.
G4-Findings must be driven by a pressure for Certainty. G4 is the heart of the field, connected directly to all other Centres except G1. For the Inquiry Domain, it seems particularly natural for Certainty to be centrally located. However, as noted above, this positioning applies to all Primal Fields.
G5-Principles are naturally driven by Acceptability because there must ultimately be social control over any field of study and changes within it.
G6-Fertility & G7-Anomalies relate to the scientific field continuing to be relevant. This is most likely if both personal and social factors combine to make it so. This is achieved on the one hand by the pressure for Well-being being met at G6, and on the other the pressure for Selflessness being satisfied at G7.
Field Division
The Primal Field can be viewed as possessing an internal duality, whose division splits the upper 3 context levels from the lower 4 content levels. These are summarized in the Naming Investigation because it provides the basis for naming.
The division between G5 and G6, appears to be of particular significance. The upper two levels enable persistence and continuity of the Field by involving the most personal and most impersonal pressures; while the lower five levels which deal with what is actually occurring enable change of the Field.
