Control Structures

The Principal Typology is the origin of all controls within the Primary Domains, and therefore understanding its structure and function is essential. In particular, the role of psychosocial pressures needs examination and clarification.

Typology Essentials Table (TET) has proved itself as a fundamental tool for understanding Typologies, especially the Root and Principal Typologies. It is also relevant to the Q-Typologies.

The Executing Duality, the X and Y Axes labels, clarifies the crucial psychosocial dimensions when optimizing for the Domain.

The Approach Duality, methods on the two diagonal, reveal the Apollonian and Dionysian dimensions of control,

The Quadrants are sharply distinct, and often their pairing to form vertical and horizontal hemi-sections illuminate provide illumination.

Conversion of Types to Modes provides the basis for a Spiral which represents development of a Primal Means over time.

This Spiral is the basis for a triplet control structure: an original Tree that has determinants for meeting the Primary Need of the Domain, a structural hierarchy based on that Tree, and the final Tree that represents a controller of the Primal Means.

Architectural Issues & Puzzles

The initial investigation deals with the unfolding dualities:

psychosocial pressures and How does the oscillation in the Typology relate to the Quadrants?

How does the oscillation in the Spiral generated by the movement from one diagonal to the other?
