Structure & Function of Q-expansions
RH has a Q expansion
The Root Domain has a Q-type expansion of the . Indeed this was how the Root Hierarchy was discovered. Analysis showed that the Spirals in the Primary Domains linked adjacent Root Levels. The resultant Spiral Tree containing Mode essences specified the determinants of the Primal Need of the lower Root Level.
The diagram below shows the Root expansion into 28 Levels and the Primal Need frameworks (i.e. Spiral Trees) formed by combining adjacent Root Levels.

The function of the expansion is to enable the meeting of the 7 Primal Needs.
The 7 Primal Needs with the origin of their determinants are conjectured to be as follows:
| Primal Need | Spiral Tree L7-L5 |
Spiral Tree L4-L1 |
Spiral |
|---|---|---|---|
| RL1: ACHIEVEMENT | Inquiry-RL2 | Action-RL1 | PH'1CH |
| RL2: KNOWLEDGE | Change-RL3 | Inquiry-RL2 | PH'2CH |
| RL3: FITNESS | Experience-RL4 | Change-RL3 | PH'3CH |
| RL4: INDIVIDUALITY | Communication-RL5 | Experience-RL4 | PH'4CH |
| RL5: ASSOCIATION | Purpose-RL6 | Communication-RL5 | PH'5CH |
| RL6: GOVERNANCE | Willingness-RL7 | Purpose-RL6 | PH'6CH |
| RL7: COMPETENCE | Action-RL1 | Willingness-RL7 | PH'7CH |
The Primal Need of a Primary Domain is what drives the Fundamentals. So those fundamentals are the psycho-biological «given means» for meeting the need.
The Primal Means, as revealed by the Spiral which emerges from the Control Source, ensures that the Fundamentals are well-handled. This Primal Means is subject to development over time, graphed as the Spiral Trajectory on a TET. So perhaps it should be re-labelled as the «Primal Developer». However, a name change will cause confusion and seems unnecessary.
The Primal Need for the Root Domain itself is proposed to be . In order to thrive, it seems that all the Primary Domain Primal Needs must be met to some minimum degree.
Primary Domain Q Expansions : Arenas
It seems from , that the Q-structure is substantial. All of the following frameworks have been investigated and discovered to be highly significant, personally and socially.
- : the typology :
- : the spiral of growth :
- : the hierarchy :
- : the tree :
- : the structural hierarchy :
- : the structural hierarchy tree :
From the initial exemplars, it seems that the Q-entities play a major role in our psychosocial functioning with numerous powerful applications.
Example: Prosperity
We are therefore labeling these Q-expansions as Arenas, signifying a place where many things happen.
The Function of Arenas
While these Arenas are part of the Domain Controls, previously developed frameworks reveal that they do not control the Domain Fundamentals.
e.g.
does not control
does not control
Nor do they have much to do with other parts of the Domain Controls.
e.g. does not control or have much to do with informal groups and how they share reality () or making others understand ().
However, if the above proposition that each Primary Domain exists to meet a particular Primal Need is correct, then everything in the Domain must contribute. In other words, the Q-frameworks of a Domain must be contributing to meeting the Primal Need of that Domain in some way—or they would not exist. We can therefore provisionally label them by reference to the Need, as follows:
This confirms what seems intuitively correct: that each of our Primal Needs are met in diverse standard ways. We will only understand the diversity of Arenas if we can clarify the nature of each and give them meaningful names.
The first inquiring step is to investigate the Style Hierarchies. Then we need to consider the psychosocial pressures on Arenas.
