Recapitulation

The system appears to rest on G1-Faith/Hope, destructive despair virtually prevents higher groupings from operating. Betrayal in relation to G2-Continuity/Reassurance is particularly painful and also makes functioning in higher grouping difficult or impossible.

Taxonomic Confusion

The levels that are included constitute the entity itself. Excluded levels may b presupposed, available or operating alongside, but they are not part of what the entity what it is.

This was particularly noticeable in the pentads where it seemed that leading involved believing, and supporting involved learning. The point is that the missing levels are part of the person's life and activated in associated functions For example, a leader will naturally persevere-G2¹ which includes the two levels excluded from leading.

Attempting the Impossible

This framework has been named «Attempting the Impossible» because that is the condition that demands the maximum energy and willingness and potentially calls for use of the 28 components.

Q: Do those components apply to Attempting the Possible?

A: Naturally any component can be used in any endeavour because willingness is always relevant. But while these component are necessary when the situation is extremely difficult, they can often be watered-down, ignored or by-passed when matters are straightforward.

Expedience, conformity, safety and a desire for the easy life, will often drive a person to appease rather than confront, to cooperate rather than to collaborate, to limit practising, to stick to old ideas that manifestly do not work rather than shifting perspective and taking on new beliefs.

Observations on your Properties

The "Vow" Gap: In modern life, we often try to "Persevere" (L1-L2) or "Engage" (L3-L4) without the formal "Commitment" (L4-L5). Your framework suggests that without the Integrity of L4, the "Engage" level becomes Detached or Intrusive because it lacks the formal "binding" that an oath once provided

The Level 4 Pivot: Level 4 (Commit) acts as the bridge between personal awareness (Realize) and higher-level evolution (Develop/Cultivate). When society stops valuing formal oaths, it effectively "breaks" the ladder at Level 4, making it harder for individuals to reach the "Self-sacrifice" required at Level 6.

Upper Three vs Lower Three

The anchor-requirement shifts from external/tangible (Task, Truth, Context) to internal/transformative (Integrity, Aspiration, Devotion). This explains why an Oath (L4) feels so different from a Trial (L1).

Oscillation of the Groupings: Effect of Assertion

Odd-numbered: assertion is directed:
outwards and socially accepted

Even-numbered: assertion is directed:
inwards but must be socially approved or confirmed
