Psychosocial Pressures

Tier 1 and Tier 2 psychosocial pressures are shown vertically on the far right

Within the green brackets on the right are Tier-3 pressures.

The Root Level pressures, labeled RL, suggest that the school as an active social group is grounded via a demonstrated shared reality of asserted realizations at L1, which is controlled via the certainty delivered by supervision and guidance at L2. However, the school's long term future depends on the doctrine surviving in an orthodox form, and this is grounded by the assertions of L5 guardians who, using their deep understanding, can be controlled by autonomous scholarly work at L6. The other levels orient and support group life and doctrinal vitality under pressures of acceptability, well-being, and performance. Selflessness applies in regard to generating social benefits at the top

The Spiral Stage pressures, labeled CL, provide a different perspective. Perpetuation depends on performance at the ground level (as above) but on acceptability at the highest level. Certainty and well-being apply in regard to sustaining the school , while selfessness, understanding and autonomy underpin sustaining the doctrine


This section is now complete.

If the observations and analyses are correct, then it should be possible to determine a structural hierarchy. Investigation showed this was indeed possible and it revealed the components for the functioning of a school.
