Applying Styles to the Domain Typologies

PH'1Q: 28 Levels in the Arenas of Achieving

Review a summary of Decision Methods-PH'1here.

Recall the Style Hierarchy developed in the preceding Topic:

L PH'1
δ Resolving

Review a summary of Research Methods-PH'2here.

Recall the Style Hierarchy developed in the preceding Topic:

L PH'2
δ Anchoring
γ Evaluating
β Organizing

Now, by applying this Style Hierarchy to each of the Research Methods, it has been possible to provide labels that characterize recognizable knowing roles. Note that there may well be other possible labels.

PH'4: 28 Levels in the Arenas of Individualizing

Review a summary of Mental Stabilization Methods-PH'4here.

Recall the Style Hierarchy developed in the preceding Topic:

L PH'4
δ Anchoring
γ Differentiating
β Constraining
α Activating

In the previous two Domains, applying the Style Hierarchy has generated role-types. Possibly starting in Change-PH'3, but certainly in Experience-PH'4, it seems that distinctive psychological states emerge rather than social roles. It has been possible to provide labels that characterize recognizable individualizing states.

 Labels proposed here are less certain.

L'1: ClosedSensory Method

αContact activates sensory existence

βComfort constrains the degree of activation

γTaste differentiates the form of contact

δStimulation anchors the mental state.

L'2: ClosedVital Method

αPhysicality activates vital existence

γCompetitiveness differentiates the form of physicality

δConcentration anchors the mental state.

L'3: ClosedEmotional Method

αSympathy activates emotional existence

PH'5: 28 Levels in the Arenas of Associating

Review a summary of Language Use Methods-PH'5here.

Recall the Style Hierarchy developed in the preceding Topic:

L PH'5
δ Developing
γ Systematizing
β Appraising
α Asserting

Unlike the Domains listed above, applying this Style Hierarchy appears to generates distinctive processes rather than roles or states. It should be possible to provide labels that characterize recognizable associating processes.

L'1: ClosedConcrete Method

Recall the Style Hierarchy developed in the preceding Topic:

L PH'6
δ Anchoring
γ Contesting
β Constraining
α Grounding

By applying this Style Hierarchy to each of the Ethical Choice Methods, it seems possible to provide labels that characterize recognizable governing rationales.

δConvictions anchor the choice that is made.

Review

From the above, it seems that the Q-expansion may have different effects according to the Domain. Light may be shed when PH'3Q and PH'7Q Arenas are determined.

  1. PH'1 and PH'2: generation of roles.
  2. PH'4: generation of states.
  3. PH'5: generation of processes.
  4. PH'6: generation of rationales.

The next step in this investigation involves determining some principles for identifying the Arenas which straddle two adjacent Methods.
