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)

I will make separate in-depth entries for each of the points in every section, the 16 Socionics types and more.

Whereas Plato envisioned common perceptions as revealing a mere shadow of reality, the holographic principle concurs, but turns the metaphor on its head. The shadows – the things that are flattened out and hence live on a lower-dimensional surface – are real, while what seem to be more richly structured, higher-dimensional entities (us; the world around us) are evanescent projections of the shadows.*

* 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.

Together with time, this is therefore an example of a universe with seven spacetime dimensions.

The Geometry Thing

Interlaced among the last three or so of these works of fiction are my four “volumes” on geometry. If you are among those who, like my high school classmates, run screaming at the mention of this subject, I don’t blame you. Or you may be of the New Agey persuasion, having a somewhat vague handle of the subject as Sacred Geometry. The latter may be closer to the mark, but its purpose is more akin…

Netflix, I don’t know how to tell you this but a woman doesn’t have to be self taught to be a strong female character. It’s ok to let her know her limitation and ask for help. It’s ok to let her get angry, it’s ok to let her be jealous, it’s ok to let your female character have flaws and WORK on them. Your female character doesn’t have to become a master on her own to be memorable, it just makes her accomplishment feel unearned.

Bingyuan where Luo Bingge, after many fruitless attempts, finally manages to find a world where:

-The Nice Shizun (who he now knows to be Shen Yuan) is there

-Hasn't died from anything yet

-Doesn't already have a Luo Binghe

-Isn't seriously entangled with anyone else either

Enter 52 year old twice divorced silver fox Shen Yuan, who has only just recently come to terms with his homosexuality (after two marriages have imploded over various factors pertaining to it), and is fending off helpful advice from his sweet & encouraging teenage daughter (who is convinced her dad needs someone to look after him before she heads off to college).

DP x DC

Of which Poison Ivy is the first one out of the Gotham Rogues who met the Fenton family and promptly adopts them all.

What? They might be human...ish mad inventors and whatnot, but they use those trash electronics that other people have thrown away illegally that's lying around the area. They actually recycle and their inventions are wonderful to her plants!

And if anything happens to these humans, she'll kill every human but herself! Or whatever the saying goes.

This goes double to her fellow Rogues.

Squint eyes.

You're not going to abduct Danny aren't you, Scarecrow? Bane, no kidnapping my new brother Jack. Harley, you can borrow Jazz but no adopting her. She's mine. Yes Selina, we can have girl's night out with Maddie-

Bats??? Hissssssss. No, go away. Danny might be a Wayne-classic-lookalike but no kidnapping him for Brucie. Shoo.

Barry: Does anyone know why Batman is not responding?

Billy: He got a pair of new kids. Helping them adjust to the manor so he took some days off. Unless we activate the Red Alram, he isn't going to answer.

Diana: I am aware of how precious children are, but I'm starting to suspect our friend has a problem

Billy: Well, MAYBE the boys had nowhere to go, and MAYBE Batman is a good man for getting them off the streets!

Hal: Woah there, Captain. I'm sure Wonder Woman didn't mean anything by that. Do you know the kids he took in or what?

Billy: As a matter of fact, yes I do!

Barry: Oh how to do you know them?

Bill realizing he can't say hes one of the boys: I'm helping Batman raise them!

J'onn: I was not aware you and Batman had that type of relationship. Congratulations

Hal: Yeah, that's great. I think you can do better than Spooky, but each thier own.

Billy horrified: Thank you

Diana: What are the boys name?

Billy: Danny and Billy. Their twins....magically speaking

Barry: Whats does that mean?

Billy: Merlin sent Danny to me and Billy came along.

Bruce at the manor trying to wrestle Danny into taking a bath: *Shudders* Billy has done something

Danny: I WILL NOT LOSE MY PROTECTIVE LAYER OF ECTOPLASM

Bruce: That's not Ectoplasm that's grime! TAKE A BATH.

Danny: NEVER

Bruce: WHY CANT YOU BE LIKE YOUR COUNTERPART!? BILLY TOOK A BATH THE FIRST NIGHT

Danny: HES WEAK THAT'S WHY

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Standard mathematical analysis reveals that this five-dimensional spacetime has a boundary⁷ that, like all boundaries, has one dimension less than the shape it bounds: three space dimensions and one time dimension.

7. For the mathematically inclined reader, the statement here is that a beam of light, or massless particles more generally, can travel from any point in the interior of anti-deSitter space to spatial infinity and back, in finite time.
