Internal Duality
The internal duality of this Tree corresponds to the two Cycles of the Spiral.
It has been established (here) that Spirals reveal how the next higher Domain influences the Domain of the Spiral. In this case, the Spiral domain is and the next higher Domain is .
The lower pole of the duality is the lower 4 Tree Centres that originate from Cycle-1 modes. These are dominated by acceptability, which characterizes the .
These Centres control any sustained progression-PsH3, which is the Change Domain Field. Going along with change: i.e. accepting is what is required to pursue change, so this functions under a performance pressure. The other Centres that support ongoing change call for transcendence: using allows organising change and calls for selflessness; appreciating calls for understanding which harmonizes change; and sustaining a calls for autonomy, which directs change.
If these conditions are met, then there is support for the evolving situation as it is depicted by the group.
The upper pole of the duality is the top 3 Tree Centres that originate from Cycle-2 modes. These are dominated by a pressure for well-being, which characterizes the .
The effect is to make acceptance comfortable: and these pressures are actualizing in nature. Formulating your pursues experience and enables certainty; using is driven by well-being and organises experience; harmonizes experience and requires acceptability. Taken together, these Centres allow a person to become comfortable about the group's reality and therefore be able to share it and fit in.
If these conditions are not met, then acceptance becomes uncomfortable and fitting in becomes difficult or impossible.
Requisite Determinants
The analysis provided has been on the basis of what is requisite, leaving out any particular idiosyncratic preferences or self-assertive tendencies. The end result is shown below.
Note the additional speculative information on the left-hand side related to the internal duality.
The lower pole is manifested as supporting any of a situation within a particular social group or community.
The upper pole is about making acceptance comfortable given a person's need for individuality.
Self-centred Handling of Determinants
Frameworks for self-centred handling of personal functioning have a standard form:
- Centre verbs are standard.
- Channel names are standard.
- Tree pressures from the Root Hierarchy pattern are significant.
- The pattern of handling reality laid out in the left column is standard.
- The personal v social dynamic duality is reversed at L's 3, 5 and 6.
This standard is applied below to
