Channels around the Periphery
The Channels remaining to be named are now all on the periphery of the Tree. The two sides will now be investigated moving from top to bottom: first the right side, then the left side.
Moving Down the Right Side
CL7B-Context-driven Adaptations ↔ CL6S-Authoritative Reports
Detail
CL7B-context-driven adjustments have to recognize the importance of CL6S-authoritative reports and strive to adhere to any position and principles within them. However, deference does not mean ignoring local realities.
Authoritative reports may be axiomatic and expect to automatically applied, but it must be recognized that every actual situation is different and certain features cannot be ignored to enable intellectual purity. Appropriate changes must be allowed.
There is a channel here affecting fitting in:
CL7B ↔ CL6S is provisionally labeled Recognition
CL6S-Authoritative Reports ↔ CL5S-Prevailing Mindset
Detail
The CL5S-prevailing mindset is naturally rather general and somewhat vague on details, but it will be influenced by any effectively disseminated CL6S-authorized reports.
Prevailing mindsets can affect the production of an authoritative report, encouraging the author in regard to emphases and even the tone of the communication.
There is a channel here affecting fitting in:
CL6S ↔ CL5S is provisionally labeled Conditioning
CL5S-Prevailing Mindset ↔ CL3P-Underlying Polarities
Detail
The prevailing CL3S-mindsets are typically riven with dualistic positions and polarized thinking of all sorts. So they can be the route to exposing relevant CL3P-polarities in a situation.
However, the prevailing mindset may also handle situational polarities by denying their existence and blaming externalities for tensions. Once the polarities are articulated, such a popular outlook will be exposed to reveal any denials or other distortions.
There is a channel here affecting fitting in:
CL5S ↔ CL3P is provisionally labeled Exposure
CL3P-Underlying Polarities ↔ CL1B-Plausible Explanations
Detail
Awareness of crucial CL3P-underlying polarities in the situation will be used to judge the plausibility of any CL1B-explanations.
Plausible explanations also pass judgements in terms of proposed polarities or judge them. They may argue that a proposed polarity is being inappropriately highlighted, or that the polarized issue is (again) the basis of a societal problem, or affirm that a fundamental polarization is (again) being suppressed or ignored despite being the source of difficulties.
There is a channel here affecting fitting in:
CL3B ↔ CL1B is provisionally labeled Judgement
SUMMARY: The right side shows a progression: requirements seem to be more controlling as the levels are descended.
Recognition ↔ Conditioning ↔ Exposure ↔Judgement
Moving Down the Left Side
CL7B-Context-driven Adaptations ↔ CL6P-Relevant Standards
Detail
Any one involved in a CL7B-contextual adjustment will naturally bring CL6P-relevant standards to bear. This would never be used to block appropriate adaptations because there is respect for the need for such modifications.
Adaptations, in turn, should not be determined, much less agreed and implemented, without respecting relevant standards being upheld by members of the group.
There is a channel here affecting fitting in:
CL7B ↔ CL6P is provisionally labeled Respect
CL6P-Relevant Standards ↔ CL5P-Personalized Versions
Detail
CL6P-relevant standards have a permanence and ethical power that makes them useful in evaluating CL5P-versions. They serve as a guide and reference and will ensure the version is suitable for use.
A personalized version in a particular situation may cause a person to review the standards being deemed relevant and check whether they actually apply in this particular case.
There is a channel here affecting fitting in:
CL6P ↔ CL5P is provisionally labeled Evaluation
CL5P-Personalized Versions ↔ CL3S-Concern for Tensions
Detail
CL5P-versionswill either minimize or enhance the impact of social concern for CL3S-tensions depending on the person's stance.
Appreciating tensions will inject emotion into the situation and that is liable to intensify a person's version.
So there is a channel affecting fitting in:
CL5P ↔ CL3S is provisionally labeled Intensification
CL3S-Concern for Tensions ↔ CL1B-Plausible Explanations
Detail
Interpersonal and social CL3S-tensions are everywhere and always concerning. If a CL1B-plausible explanationrefers to tensions in the situation, this will lead to concern about them. But even if there is no reference to tensions, then this will likely lead to questions about whether these might exist and be relevant.
Tensions show up as frictions, pain-points and conflicts which typically generate a demand for an explanation.
There is a channel here affecting fitting in:
CL3S ↔ CL1S is provisionally labeled Triggering
SUMMARY: The right side shows a progression: involvement seems to be greater as the Tree levels are descended.
Respect↔ Evaluation↔ Intensification↔Triggering
