Naming the Framework

Taxonomic Guidance

The framework to be investigated and formulated is PH'3CsH: the structural hierarchy that can be derived from the Determinants of Social Fitness-PH'3CHK, which was derived from the Spiral for Improving Clarification-PH'3C, itself developed from the Depiction Paradigms-PH'3, the Principal Typology of the Change Domain. See THEE path.

Frameworks are developed from observations, the literature and first principles. Paradoxically, this discovery is often easier than naming the framework being discovered. However, lack of a name to guide investigation often makes clarification of the elements rather difficult.

A taxonomic research principle states that frameworks with similar formulae will show some underlying similarity and this should offer guidance for naming. So when investigating the Change Domain structural hierarchy that emerges from clarification-PH'3C (primal means) and social fitness-PH'3CH (primal need), the first check is the names provided for homologous structures investigated in other Primary Domains.

In this case, two related frameworks have been posted:

PH'6CsH: posted 2009 and named then Participation in Political Life.
PH'1CsH: posted 2011 and named then Expectations of Employment.

A systematic study of naming Domain Controls carried out much later in 2014-2016, offered a specific logic for naming based on the Spiral-derived triplet: original tree—structural hierarchy—final tree.

The original Tree is the vehicle for control and named Determinants of the Primal Need. The final Tree forms a Control Field that ensures the Primal Means serves the Primal Need. The structural hierarchy is about increasing the effects of the Domain's psychosocial pressure. While the pressure evidently assists in meeting the Primal Need, it does not provide a suitable name.

ClosedExamples: 

The psychosocial pressure in the Experience-RL4 domain is well-being, and it presses to generate well-being as a psychosocial phenomenon. This applies even in situations where feelings of well-being are most unlikely to eventuate or should even be ignored or resisted. The name for PH'4CsH is currently obscure, but it will likely be related to sustenance of well-being.

The psychosocial pressure in the Action-RL1/PH1 is performance, and it presses to generate performance as a psychosocial phenomenon. So PH'1CsH can be assumed to involve improving performance. On reviewing the posted framework, this label is a good fit but lacks a specific link to management or organizational life.

The psychosocial pressure in the Purpose-RL6/PH6 is autonomy, and it presses to enable autonomy as a psychosocial phenomenon. So PH'6CsH will likely call for exercising autonomy. On reviewing the posted framework, this name would be a good fit but again it is too general and does not link to politics or governance.

Applying this line of thought here, PH'3CsH will likely determine acceptability—but this is too general and does not link to clarification or fitness. After some false starts, the name which has been adopted is: «Clarifying Social Compatibility». Rather than blindly attempting to fit in at all costs, everyone needs to determine whether there is a mutual fit. The framework appears to provide the components that enable this determination.
