Review: Social Standing
The Complete Framework
The Tree shows the Centres and channels of influence between them that have been developed in the previous topics.
On the left, the internal duality is shown and interpreted also as comfort vs effort, both in various degrees. There is a parallel pattern relating to the Style hierarchy shown on the right.
On the right are shown the structural pressures, spiral origins and typology divisions.
Requisite v Self-centred
The Tree that is developed in these frameworks is always the requisite structure i.e. the objectively required. However, what if a person wants to put themselves before any abstract ethical requirement?
Researches in the Architecture Room have clarified that a person can to some degree reject what is natural (or taxonomically appropriate) if they choose to do so. Discovery of emergent hierarchies suggests that the personal can over-ride the social, most noticeably at L3, L5 and L6, and then a standard pattern of Centre verbs and channel influences are applied.
The two Trees are shown below and no further comment will be offered at this time.
