Root Projection to Structural Hierarchies
Review of Varieties of Structural Hierarchy
All holistic hierarchies (i.e. excluding the Principal Typology) generate a structural hierarchy.
The formation of a structural hierarchy is described generally in the Hub and specifically in many of the Satellites where they appear. In considering the abstract propositions below, it will help if you have an example to hand.
Examples
Structural hierarchies have been found in three architectural locations as shown in the diagrams below.
A. Domain Fundamentals (for both the Root Domain and the Primary Domains)
B. Principal Typology Complexes based on the Spiral Tree
C. In the Q-expansion (Subsidiary Typology complex)
D. Tertiary Structural Hierarchies are also found in the and in the . These provide superordinate ethical controls for personal functioning.
Conceiving a Structural Hierarchy
Formal Pattern
In conceiving the role that a Structural Hierarchy (sH) plays, it is essential to consider both the originating Tree (on its left in the above diagrams) and the final Tree (on its right). I call this combination an sH-Triplet.
The originating Tree (or its hierarchy) provides the 1st Grouping of 7 monads (G1), which are progressively combined until the 7th Grouping of 1 heptad (G7) completes the structure. The names of the Groupings (G1 ... G7 above the Groups) are the Requirements that then form the final Tree.
The Groups are discrete Components that manifest the Requirement. The set of Groups in each Grouping comprises a particular State of affairs that is significant. Each State has a context that is provided by the next higher Requirement: and this is cyclic in that G7 State has the G1-Requirement as its context.
The sH is not a dynamic system-entity and does not appear to function as a whole. Instead, a particular Group or Groups within the sH are given attention and handled in accord with needs in the situation. Over time, however, every Group can and probably should be called into play one way or another.
Recent Conclusions
In looking at the various sH-Triplets:
■ The sH appears to be about generating effects in the psychosocial world.
■ The originating Tree is self-evidently the vehicle for generating those effects.
■ The final Tree appears to define the field within which effects are to be generated by the vehicle.
In the Domain Fundamentals:
■ the sH is conceived as the Primal Effect.
■ the originating H-Tree is conceived as the Primal Vehicle.
■ the final sH-Tree is conceived as the Primal Field.
In the Principal Control Complex:
■ the Spiral-sH is conceived as the [Principal] Control Effect.
■ the originating Spiral-Tree is conceived as the [Principal] Control Vehicle.
■ the final Spiral-Tree is conceived as the [Principal] Control Field.
In the minimally investigated Q-Expansions by analogy:
■ the Q-sH is conceived as some form of Control Effect.
■ the originating Q•Tree is conceived as some form of Control Vehicle.
■ the final Q•Tree is conceived as some form of Control Field.
In the Ethical Controls ( and only):
■ the -sH" is conceived as the Ethical Control Effect.
■ the originating H"-Tree is conceived as the Ethical Control Vehicle.
■ the final sH"-Tree is conceived as the Ethical Control Field.
In order to understand the correspondence to Groupings in the sH, it is necessary to appreciate what is involved in creating a Field.
