How the Root Spiral Differs

Conversion of Types to Modes in the principal typologies.

Specifying the Root TET

The Root Domain is not a direct replica of the Primary Domains. In the studies completed so far, the Root is akin to the RL6/PH6-Purpose Domain insofar as:

a) Both Domains provide ethical guidance: Root for Goodness and humanity, Purpose for Rightness and society;

b) Both Domains have well-developed tertiary hierarchy complexes.

The conversion of Types to Modes in PH'6 follows the pattern of other Primary Domains where Mode-1 is generated by Type 3 and the other Types are arranged as shown in the top diagram on the right.

While this pattern might apply to the Quest conversions, it might not. The way to resolve this uncertainty is simply to follow the correct logical procedure for locating Types on a TET. This requires 3 steps as follows:

Characteristics of each quadrant in the 2x2 table for plotting Primal Quests.
  1. Specifying the relevant field.
  2. Defining axes that represent the social output dimension (X-axis) and psychological requirement dimension (Y-axis) of the field.
  3. Plotting the Types on the TET.

This investigation was completed as part of exploring the Quests.

Re Step-1: The field is our interaction with reality.

Re Step-2: The axes are:

X-axis: Transcendence of Current Reality
Y-axis: Detachment from Ego/Self

Leading to a TET with quadrants as shown in the second diagram at right.

Re Step-3: Plotting the Primal Quests produced a distinctive pattern. The only plot in common with the Primary Domain TETs is Type-4 becoming Mode-3 as shown in the third diagram at right.

Conversion of Types to Modes when the Primal Quest typology is plotted on a TET.

This layout proved extremely fruitful in terms of understanding the Quests and led to some profound illuminations. It is therefore taken as established for now.

The reader is encouraged to review the Quest section in the Your Better Self satellite, especially the practical aspects and the Quest comparisons. This material will be largely taken for granted in the studies that follow.

Some of the Quest TET features are shown in these thumbnails.
