Set Themes

CONATIVE AND COGNITIVE SURFACE MANIFESTATIONS OF THE NORMAL SPECIES SET

By way of their human nature to form societal groups (families, communities, corporations) individuals exhibit a propensity to effect a tributary transference of the individual intuition to the collectivity (collective intuition); thereby individuals self-assort and become proportionately engaged with the resultant collective (group/corporate) intuition.

This process of ‘transference’ is the psychological mechanism by which collective associations are imbued with ambiance (organismic consciousness), and ultimately a body corporate or corporate 'entity' recognized as having conative autonomy and identity.

Positive consciousness is therefore associated with a somatoform apparatus which together with the group intuition constitute a complete emergent group identity. This 'corporatisation' of the autonomous 'being' – meaning existentiality, or having an existence - encapsulates a dynamical and self-sustaining (open-systems) process in the same manner as any given organism will persist for as long as the genetic configuration circumscribes.

Accordingly, surface manifestation of the normative species set may be seen as a dichotomous predisposition of individuals to transcend or more accurately, to ‘restore’ at the macro (species) level by means of:

(a) Conscience-oriented (Conative) participation, and

(b) Conscious-oriented (Cognitive) participation.

IMPORTANT SET THEMES

Three keystone ‘Set Themes’ may be observed as diagnostic and epidemiological and inherent propensities of human population dynamics within the frame of the Normal Species Set. The Set Themes are inter-subjective (both subjective and objective) human experiential, denoting an inter-coursing of both the Individual-Experiential (IE) Existentiality and the Socio-Biogenic (SB) Existentiality.

Key themes:

1. Lifetime Circuit

2. Theoretical Perfect Gradient

3. Ego-Aggressive Distortion

IMPORTANT SET THEME 1: LIFETIME CIRCUIT

Consistent with the bi-pedal mechanism of the normative species set, dual categorical constructs are the subsets:

(a) Progressive; and

(b) Conservative.

The lifetime circuit theme overlays processes of species regeneration onto the individual-experiential lifespan within the construct of the underlying and irreducible intuition set.

Localisation of the two major phases of micro-level species regeneration onto the offensive domain - which is most closely aligned with the individual's enmeshment and subsequent retreat from social engagements - yields an asymmetrical (simultaneously clock-wise and anti-clockwise) pattern of circumnavigation that may be illustrated to maintain continuous proximity and circumfusion of the orbicular array.

Broadly, individuals are deemed to normatively develop in a manner most closely aligned with the theoretical underlying locus on the E0: Intuition set (sub-conscious). Thus each individual whilst generally conservative or progressive for the mainstay of his/her life will necessarily transition to the opposing experiential tendency in order to effect a psycho-social completion (complementarity) of the lifetime circuit. This sequential process involves firstly an ‘extroversion phase’ – either along the ‘progressive circuit’ or the ‘conservative circuit’ - followed by an ‘introversion phase’ (reverse circuit) intervened by the mid-life at which the individual attains his or her height of ego-aggressive affect (individual identity and self-actualisation).

The ensuing lifetime adjustment is constituted by a cognitive challenge to reconcile the lifespan development in terms of the counter-logic (reverse circuit) to which the individual has premised his/her self-emergence (self-actualisation).

Given the normative nature of the population dispersal and the homologous tendency of most individuals toward the genic core, the most prevalent lifetime circuit is like to be compressed and flattened to an extent, and less volatile than that applicable to global maximums and global extremums.

Note: the lifetime circuit theme concords with the E1: psycho-social milestone.

IMPORTANT SET THEME 2: THEORETICAL PERFECT GRADIENT

The theoretical perfect gradient refers to the diametrical axes of the normative sets and is conceptually useful to illustrate:

1. Asymmetrical nature of parallel axial and indicial array;

2. Progressive continuity of gradient for purposes of biaxial indicialisation as employed in Surface Existemetrics; and

3. Transformation potential along the ‘transformation gradient’ (prime diametric)

Note: surface asymmetry may be witnessed as a surface manifestation curiously consistent with the structurally asymmetrical underlying neural substrate.

IMPORTANT SET THEME 3: EGO-AGGRESSIVE DISTORTION

Ego-aggressive distortion refers to the disproportionate appropriation of social, cultural and political power (both tangible and intangible ‘crowding-out’) effected by the population of Quadrant 4: biomass push plus high ego-aggressive affect.

Ego-Aggressive predomination is manifested in the surface phenomena of socio-political relations which causative of total population displacement from the theoretical normative state. Quadrant 4 Ego-Aggressive distortion is depicted by distortion of the orbicular array and surface displacement of the total population set.

Since it may be assumed that surface displacement when discordant with underlying individual intuition is likely to progenerate displacement at the species micro-level, then any given displacement from the normative orbicular arrangement may be assumed to cause some level of psychological distress to individuals in a manner equivalent to the extent of the displacement caused by the distortion.
