Determinants of Fitness PH'3CHK

Note: Details of Spirals and their Trees are or will be worked out in the Frameworks sections of this website. This topic is focused on the architecture and specifically on the contribution of psychosocial pressures to meeting our Primal Needs.

Reaching this Point

Here is a summary of material that has been developed and explained in earlier Topics in this section and elsewhere. It is the basis for appreciating the Tree framework shown below.

Summary of the PH'3 Control Diagram

The Change Root Level-3 emanates the Primary Hierarchy of Change-PH3, which is the foundation for fitness, its Primal Need.
The PH3-L6 element is Representation, and its dynamic form is proposed as Generate Representation.
The critical factor in optimizing change is the search for acceptability of the present and/or future situation.
Representations are generatedto be optimal insofar as they accord with one or other of the depiction methods-PH'3.
More on validity:

Fitness depends on clarity about a situation , and this regards depiction methods more generally as modes for clarifying it.
Clarity, the Primal Means for fitness, establishes any entity as real and distinct. Clarity may be expanded and consolidated by cumulating modes and their values via the TET Spiral.
The 4 Cycle-1modes are values for Change-RL3. However, the 3 Cycle-2 modes, despite emerging from change-RL3 and its depiction methods-PH'3, have values primarily serving experience-RL4. This is because clarity is engaged via experiences and affects well-being.
As a result, the Emergent Tree, Determinants of Fitness, reveals that Experience-RL4 enables and constrains Change-RL3.

Discrimination for «Depiction»

It is proposed that an inherent biology-based rationale for change-RL3 is fitness to psychosocial situations. Clarification must be acceptable in order to be given attention. Darwin explained that fitness was what counted for survival in the physical realm, and it appears just as essential within the psychosocial realm. Clarification of situations to support fitness depends on using principles contained within the methods for depiction. The nature of any situation can be clarified by cumulatively applying modes of clarifying, each of which draws on the essence of one depiction method.

Acceptability and continuing fitness depends on situations. The significance and power of others makes their well-being an unavoidable constraint. That is why clarification leading to change-RL3 turns out to be enabled and constrained by Experience-RL4, whose psychosocial pressure is well-being.

As this framework has not been sufficiently studied, further explanation will not be attempted.

Now consider Determinants of Individuality (PH'4CHK).
