Purpose Domain: 

Much of this Domain is described in Working with Values (1995).

Details of the book, with download links for the chapters and their Tables and Matrixes, are provided in this Satellite.

Here the task is to be systematic, fill in the gaps and extend to previously unknown topics.

Unlike the 6 other Domains (but similar to the Root Domain), the Purpose Domain contains a Tertiary Hierarchy which generates Society-oriented Ethical Controls.

Nested hierarchies in the Purpose Domain. Ethical choice systems are within Value System, and the ethical rules are within the legitimist approach to choice. Ethical authorities govern the realization of value.

 

The Fundamentals

 

Fundamentals of the Purpose Domain RL6

Levels of Purpose (PH6)

See Ch.3 and Ch.4.

A Worthwhile Project (PH6K)

See Ch.13.

Note: In the book, the Tree is labeled as the "Image of Intentionality". The investigation of naming led to a more precise and descriptive choice.

Realizing Values (PsH6)

See Ch.10 and Ch.12.

Studies of multiple structural hierarchies has led to minor adjustments in naming the Grouping Requirements (top labels) and the resulting Group States (bottom labels). The current version is shown below and includes the projected root-level psychosocial pressure.

Ch.11 provides a ten-fold classification of organisations based on the communal functions defined by the Tetrads. As well as four types with a single function, there are three with dual functions, two with triple functions, and one with all four functions.

Requirements, components and states for "Realizing Values'' PsH6 Qualities of internal levels in each of the groupings used for "Realizing Values" (PsH6)

A Community Evolution (PsH6K)

The book contained the first Tree to be developed in THEE, and this potential was not developed for the PsH6 Structural Hierarchy. The current version is shown below with the subjective layout as well.

Requisite requirements for a community evolution (PsH5K) Self-centred requirements for a community evolution (PsH3K)

The Standard Controls

Control structures in the Purpose Domain RL6 dealing with ethics, politics and government.

Ethical Choice Methods (PH'6)

See Ch.6

Also see provisional analysis of pairing and what may be called "ethical auras":

Social roles that function by combining pairs of ethical choice methods.

Maturation of Politics (PH'6C)

This is posted in detail in the Political Maturation section of the Politics Satellite.

Determinants of Governance (PH'6CHK)

This is posted in detail in the Political Choice section of the Politics Satellite .

The framework was also examined in the Architecture Room as part of the investigation of root projections and the hypothesis that psychosocial pressures existed to energize the meeting of Domain-based Primal Needs. See the PH'6CK account here.

Governance was chosen as an example of the difference between a framework that is requisite, and a framework that takes account of my specific situation and interests. See account and Tree diagrams.

Here is the current version of the self-centred Governance Tree:

Self-centred handling of the determnants of governance.

Political Life : Exercising Autonomy in Society (PH'6CsH)

This is posted in detail in the Political Life in Society section of the Politics Satellite.

The Legitimation of Politics (PH'6CsHK)

This is posted in detail in the section dealing with political legitimacy and the handling of tensions in the Politics Satellite.

Here is the Self-centred version:

Self-centred handling of participation in politics.
