Significant Commitment

Engagement with the challenge as been triggered. Participation and the lower Centres that ensure a practical involvement have been identified. However, given the many obstacles and difficulties, participation requires bolstering.

Psychosocially, this occurs through viewing participation as significant and making a commitment to see things through. This immediately entails risk (L5), and sooner or later learning (L6) from mistakes and failure. Finally, commitment means that you trust (L7) yourself and others.

L5: Risking

As soon as L4_B-participation is activated, the question that emerges is what am I risking and what gains or losses are likely. Risking for gain will buttress my involvement if it is within my risk tolerance.

Centre(s)

Dynamic Duality: Risking generates two polarized Centres in the Tree: L5_S and L5_P.
Why?

. Much is unknown, especially as events evolve, so risks are unavoidable and must be accepted. It is solely my choice as to whether I seek out a possibility of tangible gain. However, external factors determine the risk, and all that can be done is to control the degree of exposure.

We will label L5_P: Seek Tangible Gains
and label L5_S: Accept Exposure to Risks

Channels

L5

Tolerating risks (L5_S) will dominate over seeking gains (L5_P), because if the risks cannot be tolerated, willingness rapidly diminishes. So the L5_S Centre is placed on the right side of the Tree. A channel between these two is necessary.

Risks are only tolerable if you expect gains, and when you seek gains you expect that some risk is unavoidable and must be tolerated.

L5_S↔ L5_P is provisionally labeled Expectation

L5 ↔ L4

The presence of risks will restrain participation, and because participation involves others, it will restrain the taking of risks.

L5_S↔ L4_B is provisionally labeled Restraint

 

The potential presence of tangible gains makes participation seem worthwhile and fosters effort. Conversely participation energizes a search for gains as an incentivising by-product.

L5_P↔ L4_B is provisionally labeled Invigoration

L5 ↔ L3 

L5-Risking is closely related to realites that must be L3-Faced.

With regard to the avoidable risks that must be tolerated, your determination of crucial facts is what counts. The realities that you identify should help clarify your exposure to risks. Any unavoidable risk that you have to accept will direct you towards realities that should be faced.

L5_S↔ L3_P is provisionally labeled Direction

However, tolerance to risks has no direct relation to independent assessments or vice versa. WHY?

Independent assessments of the challenge will orient you to the potential for gains. The search for gains will orient you in listening to what others may say about the challenge.

L5_P↔ L3_P is provisionally labeled Appraisal

However, seeking tangible gains has no direct relation to the determination of crucial facts or vice versa. WHY?

L5 ↔ L2 & L1 

L2_B-solutions and L1_B-interests do not impact on institutional statistics-L5 directly, but they may generate effects if mediated by intervening Centres. Statistics-L5_P and L5_S similarly require to be mediated by L3-analyses or L4-narratives in order to affect L2_B-solutions or L1_B-interests.

L6: Learning

The willingness to embrace a challenge rapidly runs into the possibility that a weakness will be exposed. You are liable to find that you lack a specific skill or necessary knowledge. This must be remedied.

Centre(s)

Dynamic Duality: Learning generates two polarized Centres in the Tree: L6_S and L6_P.
Why?

It is difficult to learn from success because learning requires awareness of a weakness. On the one hand, you can have full control when reflecting on failures. On the other hand, you may be forced to use resources available in your social milieu over whose extent and quality you have no control.

We will label L6_P: Ensure Reflection on Failures
and label L6_S: Use Available Learning Resources

Channels

Learning resources-L6_Swill have the dominant influence because they are definitive. So it is placed on the right side of the Tree.

Neither pole will attempt to address specific concerns-L1_B, solutions-L2_B or issues-L3) without mediation by the narrative-L4_B and institutional information-L5

L7: Trusting

 

Centre(s)

Dynamic Duality: In all cases, there is a fusion of personal and socio-situational factors.
Why?

Trusting is a matter for the person. However, the object of trust is an inextricable part of that process. The nature of the object will determine the activation and quality of the trust that is extended.

So, in the Tree, this level becomes a single balanced Centre: L7_B.

We will label L4_B: Extend Trusting
