Orientation

The Architecture Room is organised as follows:

1. Intriguing Propositions

This essential part of this section presents the emerging conceptualization of the Taxonomy and its relationship to endeavour and the human condition. There is also an explanation of how the Root Hiearchy was discovered. Then there is an exploration of the various ways that hierarchies can be dichotomized. Finally, there is a topic, now largely historical, about the puzzles and challenges that led to research within the Architecture Room.

2. Graphic Representation

This section lists in tables and images the components of the architecture of the Taxonomy.

3. Root Hierarchy Projections

There is a question that so many find disturbing. Why is everything 7? (It's not strictly true—there are 2's, 3's, 4''s, 5's, 6's, and 10's—but the frequency of 7-level hierarchies is noticeable.) It now appears that this is due to all structural forms being based on a projection from the Root Hierarchy. Because the Root Hierarchy has 7 levels, so does everything else. But why does the Root Hierarchy have 7 levels? Speculations, posted progressively, have provided a theoretical foundation that appears solid.

4. Framework Naming

This section deals with the difficult and tendentious issue of naming frameworks. It works through THEE in a comprehensive way and prevides provisional solutions based on reasonable arguments.

5. Q Expansions

This section explores the nature of Q-expansions and provides conjectures as to their general nature and then offers preliminary formulations for 5 Domains. There is too little understanding of either the Change-RH3/PH3 Domain and Willingness-RH7/PH7 Domain to explore their Q-expansio

6. Forcing Duality Reversal

I discovered in the Communication-PH5 that the oscillating duality could be "forced" into its opposite. I had suspected this already in Purpose-PH6, so in this section all Primary Hierarchies are checked, despite some being only provisionally developed. The picture has been through several revisions and is now formally articulated.

7. Emergent Hierarchies

Study of the findings from 3. Forced Duality Reversal has led to the discovery of non-taxonomic frameworks referred to as «emergent hierarchies». These hierarchies come into play when there is some form of failure but the idea of abandoning the effort is unacceptable. A much greater focus on willingness is required to remedy matters.

8. Neurobiological Foundation

This section explores the possibility of a neurobiological foundation for the Taxonomy based on the work of Jaak Panksepp.

9. THEE in Software

This section explains the importance of putting THEE into software, and provides some basic ideas and listings to support such an effort.
