Determinants of Mastery: PH'7CHK

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

This framework has had very limited investigation. A very provisional picture is provided as a basis for imagining the Tree framework shown below. While confidence in regard to selflessness as the psychosocial pressure is high, there is uncertainty in regard to formulation of the Primal Need and Primal Means.

ClosedSummary of the PH'7 Control Diagram

  • The Willingness Root Level-7 emanates the Primary Hierarchy of Willingness-PH7, which is the foundation for effectiveness, its Primal Need.
  • The PH7-L6 element is Learning, and its dynamic form is proposed as value learning.
  • The critical factor for optimizing willingness-RL7 is the acceptance of selflessness. Under pressure for selflessness, learning is valued and pursued using one or other of the capability enhancing methods-PH'7.
  • Effectiveness depends on mastery, and this is manifested in the way diverse and difficult situations are engaged and handled. Each capability enhancing method becomes the basis for a different mode of mastering.
  • Individuals can strengthen mastery by progressively cumulating mode values in the TET Spiral.
  • The 4 Cycle-1modes are values for Willingness-RL7. However, the 3 Cycle-2 modes, despite emerging from willingness-RL6 and its capability enhancing methods-PH'6, have values primarily serving action-RL1. This is because feasibility and practicality are the prime constraints on actual mastery. This generates performance pressures.
  • As a result, the Emergent Tree, Determinants of Competence, reveals that Action-RL1 enables and constrains Willingness-RL7.
  • The result is that development of effectiveness is enabled and constrained by a drive to contribute to a relevant situation in an energetic, polished and appropriate way without letting personal matters interfere.

Mastery for «Effectiveness»

It is proposed that an inherent biology-based rationale forwillingness-RL7 is effectiveness. Mastery must be selflessin order to be developed. Selflessnessused to be an issue in the physical realm, and it still is within the psychosocial realm. Mastery depends on using specific methods for enhancing capability. The full features and nature of any phenomenon (entity) can be depicted by using all modes of competence, each of which draws on the essences of a method.

Selflessness and continuing effectiveness depends on the willingness to pursue mastery. The requirement to produce results as desired by others makes performance an unavoidable constraint. That is why mastery-oriented willingness-RL7 turns out to be enabled and constrained by Action-RL1, whose psychosocial pressure is performance.

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