We can now consider the complete Tree that is the in a society.
Note: The Channels are currently under investigation within the TOP Studio. Given the numerous Tree frameworks developed from first principles, the pattern is now regarded as established. The result is as shown in the diagram here.
This Framework is provisionally being developed via the following steps:
Step 1: Determining that the integrative/unifying v divisive/splitting duality is crucial in any intervention in political life, and applying that duality to the Groupings/Levels in the structural hierarchy.
Step 2: Preventing social disruption by recognizing Channels that must exist where there are two Centres in one Level.
Step 3: Identifying ways that people and society function politically, based on Channels that cross one Level.
Step 4: Identifying political impetus created by Channels of influence crossing two Levels. Not all possibilities are functional.
Step 5: Recognizing the anchor of political life that runs between the
( ) and ( ).
«The powerful» and «the people», the previous internal duality, are here both fully engaged and integrated at every Level.
Participation and change, the new internal duality, is shown on the left together with the way these two dynamics progress.
Change is not the monopoly of «the powerful» (who generally prefer the status quo) while participation is a matter for «the people».
Change flows from the «sources of power» intrinsic to social life. These sources spring from «the people».
«The powerful» will seek to manipulate «the sources of power»—but they can do so only as long as the people allow them. That permission is a function of the maturity and awareness of the people en masse. «The powerful» cannot withstand Spiral of Political Maturation.
. This takes us back to where we started this inquiry: theYou can now: review the emergence of this Tree starting from the initial THEE process diagrams;
and also
compare this Tree with the earlier Tree .
