Rationale & Analytic Schema

Situations demanding Willingness

In our emergent frameworks, a similarity in the structure of elements is given (as explained in the previous topic): but the meanings of those emergent Trees have yet to be discerned.

We typically undertake vast numbers of personal endeavours, expecting them to be completed in a fairly straightforward way. If progress comes to a halt and support is lost, then we usually abandon them and engage with something different, and (perhaps) more appropriate.

It is conjectured that these emergent frameworks deal with a special variety of situation, one in which:

• some form of breakdown has occurred and success seems unlikely,
• but: the idea of abandoning the effort is unacceptable
• so: a much greater focus on willingness is required to remedy matters.

By considering the willingness element in the context of the others in their particular unusual Tree locations, some general speculations initially emerged. However, there was a confusion with endeavour-RH. By considering how these Trees compared to the RH Tree, it became evident that the emergent Trees could not possibly be endeavour frameworks as such. However, they could be a way to mentally support an endeavour in relation to a breakdown or crisis.

«Breakdowns» only matter insofar as endeavours, large and small, exist to meet a «life challenge». The threat, perhaps to survival, implicit in the idea of «breakdown» and «failure» drew in findings from recent research into the Root Hierarchy. Innate brain-based instincts conjectured at each Root Level are postulated to generate distinctive psychosocial pressures. These instinct-like forces are what innately drive and control us in regard to meeting life's challenges.

In attempting to improve clarity and precision in formulating this line of thought, a schema was developed. It has led to significant re-conceptualizations of the emergent Tree frameworks. The schema outline is clear, but its details are still provisional.

Schema for Analysis

Recognize Life Challenges
i.e.

These are states of affairs that everybody deals with frequently. THEE frameworks are about understanding how these psychosocial issues may be appropriately and naturally met using positive values.

See Proposed Challenges ►

1. Using Time Well
2. Producing Achievements
3. Providing Useful Accounts
4. Sustaining Social Cohesion
5. Handling Inter-personal Relationships
6. Working for Another
7. Maintaining Inner Equilibrium

… which undergo Routine Difficulties
i.e.

Nothing we attempt runs completely smoothly either because of psychological and social issues or because of practical and tangible obstacles. There are always ups and downs, setbacks and blockages, stresses and strains, complaints and complications, disagreements and disappointments. They can be handled sensibly, with complex systems needing more careful reflection. THEE frameworks assume life is often difficult and reflective awareness is required.

… that may escalate to a Personal Crisis
i.e.

Current endeavours meeting the necessity sometimes hit a brick wall of internal or external obstacles that drain the willingness to persist. This is not a pleasant experience due to feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, failure and breakdown. It may be appropriate to give up, disengage and try something new. But there is an alternative: to rise to the challenge of renewal and recovery. (There are also other options: see more here.)

… for which there may be a Defiant Response
i.e.

A person may reassert their power over circumstances, and defiantly sustain an intention to overturn the situation, intensely problematic as that may seem to be. Success is intrinsically difficult, even perhaps unlikely, so willingness becomes crucially important. You must activate a psychosocial process that runs alongside and interpenetrates the relevant endeavours.

...now to the new non-intuitive contribution of the present inquiry...

… based on mobilizing a Psychosocial Requirement
i.e.

What is often not consciously appreciated is that this response spontaneously draws on specific and powerful innate reserves. These behavioral reserves emerge under the aegis of a particular relevant psychosocial pressure—whose nature is examined elsewhere in relation to the Root projections and their biological origins.

… as revealed in Emergent Frameworks derived from PH-oD reversal.
i.e.

It is now known that there are 7 Root Tree frameworks constructed solely out of Primary Hierarchy elements of a particular level. They are formed by reversing the oscillating duality pole: see a summary here, and further development in principle starting here. Each of these Trees concentrates its own specific psychosocial pressure.

These are the frameworks to be explored and explained in this section. Note that this analytic schema orients based on observations. It does not explain identification of the arenas of life challenges, or why a particular framework emerges from a particular Primary Hierarchy.
