Information Elements

Irrational elements (because they perceive, not reason):

Se - extroverted sensing: Force (F)

Accumulation of external involvements

Force: strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement. In physics, understood as an influence tending to change the motion of a body or produce motion or stress in a stationary body.

Si - introverted sensing: Senses (S)

Integration of external involvements

Senses: faculties by which the body perceives external stimuli.

Ne - extroverted intuition: Ideas (I)

Accumulation of internal abstractions

Ideas: thoughts as to possible courses of action or outcomes.

Ni - introverted intuition: Telos (T)

Integration of internal abstractions

Telos: ancient Greek term for an end, fulfillment, completion, aim or goal. Ethymologic source for the word 'teleology', the explanation of phenomena in terms of the purpose they serve rather than of cause by which they arise.

Rational elements (because they reason, not perceive):

Te - extroverted thinking: Pragmatism (P)

Accumulation of external abstractions

Pragmatism: an approach that evaluates theories or beliefs in terms of the success of their practical application.

Ti - introverted thinking: Laws (L)

Integration of external abstractions

Laws: the system of rules which a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and which it may enforce by the imposition of penalties.

Fe - extroverted feeling: Emotions (E)

Accumulation of internal involvements

Emotions: strong feelings deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others.

Fi - introverted feeling: Relations (R)

Integration of internal involvements

Relations: the ways in which two or more people or things are connected; a thing's effect on or relevance to another. Also the way in which two or more people or groups feel about and behave towards each other.

Each of the eight information elements fit into and fill one of the eight cognitive functions that make up a person's personality type. The different assortments result in the 16 different types.

Cognitive Functions

1. Leading - most capable (4D), valued, public, and stubborn. Automatic, confident, and comfortable first approach that sets and programs the base objectives of the personality. Also called Base, Dominant, or sometimes Program function

2. Creative - highly capable (3D), valued, public, and flexible. Complements the leading function's set program and takes it into actions, brings it into the world. Also called Auxiliary function.

3. Role - less capable (2D), unvalued, public, and flexible. Conscious adaptation to respond to outside expectations. Sometimes called Reluctant function.

4. Vulnerable - least capable (1D), unvalued, public, and stubborn. Source of insecurity, least resistance to external pressure, and inflexible lack of comprehension of its given information element. Sometimes called Exposed function or Path/Point of Least Resistance (PoLR).

5. Suggestive - least capable (1D), valued, private, and flexible. Search for intimate reassurance and/or influence of others, appreciation and enthralling of the presence of the element in them, feels calmed by it. Also called Accepting or Seeking function.

6. Mobilizing - less capable (2D), valued, private, and stubborn. Highly personal need for being independently capable in this element, but is overconfident. Consistently clumsy in its effectiveness or overcompensating in its expression. Its usage energizes the person. Also called Activating function or Hidden Agenda.

7. Observing - highly capable (3D), unvalued, private, and stubborn. Non-participation in the usage of its given element outside of scrutizing from the sidelines and sometimes consistently critizicing or questioning its validity. Traditionally called Ignoring function.

8. Demonstrative - most capable (4D), unvalued, private, and flexible. Unconscious and persistent leading utilization of the element, even when it would rather not be used. Willingly let go of when asked of by overwhelmed people due to its unvalued and flexible nature, yet it still assists in the achieving of the type's goals.

Each of the eight functions fit into one of four Blocks within the model, creating Rings of information metabolism:

Blocks

Public and conscious blockings: the Mental Ring

Ego Block: valued and "strong" functions

Super-Ego Block: unvalued and "weak" functions

Private and unconscious blockings: the Vital Ring

Super-Id Block: valued but "weak" functions

Id Block: unvalued but "strong" functions

Inert functions: stubborn, intransigent, bold, assertive, and energetic functions

Contact functions: flexible, collaborative, subtle, and reluctant functions

The "strength" or "weakness" of a given function is explained through the qualitative parameters with which they are able to process information to elaborate conclusions and internalize lessons. Each set of which are called Dimensionality of a function:

Dimensionality

Each function processes information and grows by taking into account the parameters of:

1-Dimensional (1D): experience. Referred to as least capable, "weakest".

2-Dimensional (2D): norms and experience. Referred to as less capable, "weak".

3-Dimensional (3D): situational, norms, and experience. Referred to as highly capable, "strong".

4-Dimensional (4D): time, situational, norms, and experience. Referred to as most capable, "strongest.

Commonalities can be discerned between types depending on strengths and values, called small groups or quaternions:

Small Groups

Quadras: according to valued elements

Alpha: value Ti, Fe, Si, Ne - Acceptance and Togetherness

Beta: value Ti, Fe, Se, Ni - Calling and Order

Gamma: value Te, Fi, Se, Ni - Aptitude and Independence

Delta: value Te, Fi, Si, Ne - Growth and Hope

Clubs: according to dominant primary information

Researchers: intuitive and logical (NT)

Socials: sensing and ethical (SF)

Pragmatists: sensing and logical (ST)

Humanitarians: intuitive and ethical (NF)

Temperaments: according to primary extroversion (E or I) and rationality (P or J)

Flexible-maneuvering: extroverted and perceiving (EP)

Linear-assertive: extroverted and rational (EJ)

Receptive-adaptive: introverted and perceiving (IP)

Balanced-stable: introverted and rational (IJ)

Communication styles: according to primary extroversion (E or I) and rational preferrence (F or T)

Bussinesslike: extroverted and logical (ET)

Passionate: extroverted and ethical (EF)

Cold-blooded: introverted and logical (IT)

Sincere/Soulful: introverted and ethical (IF)

* If you're reluctant to rewrite Plato, the braneworld scenario gives a version of holography in which shadows are put back in their proper place. Imagine that we live on a three-brane that surrounds a region with four space dimensions (much as the two-dimensional skin of an apple surrounds the apple's three-dimensional interior). The holographic principle in this setting would say that our three-dimensional perceptions would be the shadows of four-dimensional physics taking place in the region surrounded by our brane.

I actually have the very strong opinion that The Big Bang didn’t happen. Now before you comeback at me with the words of “Of course it did!” and calling me a moron, hear me out. Just listen, okay? I do not disagree with the leading scientific theory of how ‘The Universe’ exists and works. Rather, I’m saying that The Big Bang is still happening. We know that ‘The Universe’ is expanding and that it is accelerating at ridiculous speeds away from its material properties. But it can’t do that for forever. Cosmic inflation will most likely be what makes it collapse on itself. It has to because planets and stars can’t always be there. They will self-destruct eventually because they don’t last. On our planet entropy happens and increases if energy does not leave an isolated system as per the 2nd law of thermodynamics. It’s the only way to disperse matter at such a large scale. So because of the unsustainability of energy through astronomical gas and radiation emissions in the Earth’s atmosphere, it would mean that our planet will die too, and we will have to look for a new “home” before it happens. Some physicists predict Doomsday on Earth will happen more so in a Big Freeze death than a Heat Wave death, but this is debatable because a contained high-energy is a constant increasing in temperature. Which would mean that it has more of a probability of bursting into flames and scattering out to the far reaches of our solar system than causing the next ice age, and therefore take an extremely long time to cool down.

This is where my hypothesis comes in to explain how cosmic inflation will be what condenses ‘The Universe’ back down to a singularity, and cause The Big Bang to occur all over again. We don’t know what to do with “time” anymore. It doesn’t seem to be a relativistic constant according to general relativity. We don’t actually need it other than our use of the language so we can get on with our day to day experience of reality of which we believe happens in a “linear time”. It is useless for explaining and understanding ‘The Universe’ as we know it to be today, along with what happens at the atomic level of quantum physics mathematically, because “time” just isn’t a thing there due to a particle being in a superposition of waves of probabilities. We know that all of reality, including our bodies, consist of these particles which are also 99.9999999% empty space. So we just don’t see this transaction of mass/energy = energy/mass. Which means we only have a really linear viewpoint of the reality we live in. A tiny understanding of it. This would explain why “time” seems to work although it is completely useless at the Planck scale and non-relative to general relativity. We’ve clearly just created it. Made it up and convinced ourselves of our own illusion so damn well that we can only ever experience reality in that linear way. Therefore ‘The Universe’, to our subjective awareness at least, has hidden variables that cannot be measured by the human eye or any technological device with which we can observe ‘The Universe’ in, as quantum physics experiments have shown us over and over again. So this is what I propose as my own incomplete theory as to how The Big Bang has happened, is happening and will happen simultaneously for infinity because “time” isn’t a constant in it and neither is “space”. “Space-time” is not relevant in the supporting of this theory and my attempts to explain why are extremely hard to understand while operating in the viewpoint of Classical physics. But don’t let that make you think of it as just some “pseudoscience woo woo” I’ve concocted out of nowhere to inflate my own ego and flatter my belief system. It is backed up both by what we know to be true, and by what we predict is most plausible scientifically and philosophically as the mathematics add up. My theory is that The Big Bang bangs itself in a transactional causality loop. In an all-encompassing process in which we ourselves as conscious entities are creating and determining to happen through an information feedbacking of our mind. Taking away “space” and “time” from the picture, this actually makes sense and does not sound all that crazy at all if you think about it properly.  If you think about it the way I am. Purely scientific and philosophical because you can’t have science without philosophy. It’s how it started. They go together.

I’ve gone over all the details in my Rethinking series where I attempt to explain a worldview that Eastern religion and Ancient esoteric civilisations have been teaching us for millenia about the nature of reality through a scientific and philosophical way. Up until the early 1900′s we did not know what the role of consciousness was in what we believed to be an entirely physical and external reality. We assumed it had nothing to do with the macrocosm we experience ourselves in and that there was two different processes going on. But maybe it really is just ONE process. Maybe a nonduality is what has been happening all along. If we could consider that consciousness does play a part in creating and determining ‘The Universe’ like the quantum physics experiments seems to imply, perhaps this theory may actually be proven to be true one day. I’m still working on it, but I’ve got to admit, I am pretty damn convinced that it could be an irrefutable Theory Of Everything given it is not just pushed aside over it’s metaphysical aspects because I can explain them in a scientific and philosophical way too. You just need to have an open mind. Throwing Classical physics away is the key to explaining and understanding this theory, so you will have to meet me halfway when it comes to that. We don’t want to throw Classical physics away because we’ve lived within the operations of it for so long, and we still are operating in it despite knowing it is inaccurate. But it’s “time” to accept that the Classical paradigm of “time”, “space” and “matter” in physics is utterly WRONG. This is the theory that seeks to do that in order to bring in a new way of thinking about the nature of existence in its entirety. This theory would explain a lot of stuff that we don’t have much information on and are therefore skeptical about. It will make us much more accepting towards it so we can consider it in a scientific standpoint in order to figure the “weirdness” or “randomness” out. Stuff such as reality, dimensionality, consciousness, mental illness, psychic ability. evolution, language, music, and of course, “God” and ‘The Universe’, and bring a common thread into all of nature. A complete picture of the puzzle of both THE NOTHING and THE EVERYTHING and why A SOMETHING even exists in-between it at all.
