The Family

Introduction

The prominent illustration of The Quadrant Model would be the family of father, mother, son and daughter. How the family members will be perceived, will though differ, dependent upon if we take the quantitative or the qualitative view.

Let us agree upon the presumption the father and the mother are ideal reality, and the son and the daughter are material reality. And, for the sake of illustration, let us assume the father is objective reality and the mother is subjective reality.

If we so do, what is left, is to place the boy and the girl. Where to place the two of them will though differ, dependent upon our approach.

The quantitative approach

By the quantitative approach, we will focus on observable and lasting characteristics. Such will, for example, be gender, age and law given demands. By this quantitative approach it would be reasonable to place the Girl in the Endogene reality, since we have placed the Mother in the Autogene reality. She will as such be opposed materially to the Son in the Exogene reality. The Son will be the manifestation of the Father, being of the Extragene reality.

The qualitative approach

By the qualitative approach, we will be oriented towards expectations and meaning. Such may not be temporal, though they are given by situation and by circumstance. By this qualitative approach it will be reasonable to place the Son in the Endogene reality, and the Girl in the Exogene. The Son is the meaning of life to the Mother, giving birth. He will explain her and give justice to her. And one can argue that the Girl is the joy of the Father. She is his muse. The Girl responds to his his rationale in the way of love and fear.

Creation

We will agree upon the fact that matter seems to undergo a transformation as if by the seasons from Autogene reality, through Endogene and Eksogene reality towards Extragene reality. Manner, though, shows itself to be different. An existence of the Autogene reality will make an opposite which makes it a being. Foreign to her, though explaining her, that being to the Mother would be the Son, not the Girl.

The Father will appear as the third which the two of them agree upon, relating them, and so will the Girl, in another way. The Girl is materiel, the Father is Ideal.

Conclusion

This means, we still can make a visualization of growth, by a qualitative approach to The Quadrant Model. We have to remember, though, that the Son and the Girl have changed places, and that the perspective of evolution is no longer valid. This understanding must count for perceptions of any a qualitative fourfold, such as, for example, Value, Emotion, Motive and Knowledge.

This should conclude the discussion of evolution seen as different from creation in perceiving the history of the world.

My idea is that any a thing in the world might be perceived by The Quadrant Model. The thing is to identify a fourfold, and to imagine there is a qualitative (intuitive) approach to it. Such could be the development of a theory. The familial archetype would though perhaps be origin. If senses are not. One will know, we may let the father signify sight, the mother hearing, the son taste, and the girl smell. With respect to touch, the fifth sense, I believe Christ, as such, will raise in the aftermath of any creation, judging it, or explaining it. As “touch”, Christ shows us that all four initial senses are ways of being touched.
