Glossary
This is an attempt to explain the words that are important to define in my system. You will see that I am expressing my opinion and scaling those definitions in that. Trying to make it fit more what I have in mind to explain the things I want to explain better. You can see this glossary as my own subjective definitions even though they do connect to the real world definitions that we agree as a collective. But most of the words that I am defining are not so clear on how they are define. This page is also a way to refer to what I actually mean when I use particular words. These are my definitions at this time.
Langage
The words we use have associations. We all have a different set of associations base on our culture, personality and exposition. It is a good exercise to try to define what you really think about some words that you use. Words are a limitation of expression and are a way to twist things. The glossary here is an attempt to express what I mean when I use some words. It is important to remind ourselves that langage is a complex living entity that progress throught time. We need more optimal vocabulary, particularly in the psychic, philosophical domain. What I mean by that is that we are not aware and precise enough by what we mean when we use certain abstract words. It is worth mentioning that the glossary here use words that are in the context of my theory and my conceptions. I am not reinventing the wheel here, simply explaining and giving more exhaustive definitions and opinions of some words that need to be expand on in my opinion.
Attention
What I am refering to here is the attention in terms of perception and awareness. This is a complex subject but I will try to talk about it. First of all, we have to address that we orient ourselves in the world with the plurality of sensations and apprehensions around us. We have to direct that aspect of rawness to a more cohesive perception. To lower our entropy and concentrate our attention towards something that is in line with what we want to do and in line with our awareness at a precise moment in time. When we partake in particular observations and decisions we negate at this precise moment other observations and decisions by our orientation.
In psychology, this phenomena is studied immensely in the domain of cognitive science. There is also the psychodynamic studies which sees the libido as the constant flux of energy in the brain, Freud saw that has sexual. This libido orient the psyche and is fundamental in the analysis of our pulsions and representation of attention. Symbolically, this has interest Carl Jung with the idea of archetypes and the collective unconscious in the types of structure of attention form with myths and religions.
For me, our attention is in the purpose of the instincts in the forms of symbols even if we are not aware of it. Saviors and demons are the functionality of those instinctual charges. They are what guide our attention in a macro sense. The motivation feeding the perception it generates make us fit some roles in our surroundings. It is crucial to realise that our actions are derive by things before us that decide our attention. Our states of mind are intertwined with our type of attention, it is therefore important to investigate the different types of human attention.
Saviors and demons
This is the 2 fundamental charge of attention in life. One is perceived as the good and the other one as the bad. When one is overvalued or implicitly valued, there is automatically a charge of opposite building up. The religious image of saviors and demons is what indicates this pattern in the most optimal way. The mythical categories are what give us the most accurate depiction from the get go of what it actually means. This is the classic two sides of the same coin. One is conscious while the other one unconscious (Carl Jung lens). The saviors demons dynamic is in fact a grounded mechanic that can be seen in actions. But they are complex in the sense that they might be just little charges that you are not aware of. We can argue that both sides are actually unconscious even if one is overuse and the other one underuse. The savior is seen as the one helping the person go out of problems and is seen as the solution. While the demon is seen as what creates the problems and is not seen as the solution but rather something to escape from. Over time people might get conscious of this pattern and see how they might repress some stuff (demon) by concentrating too much on the savior (temptation).
Fundamental Categories
The most optimal way to use the saviors and the demons and the duality pattern is to make relevant categories. Which means that they have to be fundamental in life (recurring patterns), macro enough to be relevant (metaphysical scaling) and useful enough in the day to day life (grounded mechanics). We intuitively know what are the fundamental categories if we have experienced life long enough. But it is hard to make conscious effort to see them and make connections to the elements in our lives. Typology is full of fundamental categories (thanks to Carl Jung) that aim to see individual mechanisms and also collective intelligence. The most powerful ones are the one that can operate at every level of reality which means they can be seen at the micro scale to the macro scale. Saviors and demons, intuition, sensory, thinking, feeling, sleep, play, blast, consume, identity, tribe, known, gather. There are multiple fundamental categories and lots of ways to see where they sit best to help us undertand reality and ourselves better.

Duality
Things have to be duals in order to describe reality. It seems to be implicitly formed in our mind because of the saviors and demons dynamic. The counterpart of the sunny day is the dark night, the counterpart of the protecting safe is the dangerous unsafe. Duality is when a fight happen between two opposites. We can talk about a relationship when the two opposite works together. Binary coins and polarities are also two other words to describe this dynamic in a more neutral scientific way. This pattern is fundamental in how we perceive and make sense of the world. It is important to acknowledge that we do this all the time in our lives. It is a way to become balance and to not fall victim to certain extremes (as I am doing right now a duality between balance and extreme). We might be oversharing, over categorizing, over analysing, etc. Every speech said is pointing towards a direction instead of an another one. Attention with choice of action with the intellect will make us form duality in the world by default.
Cycle
It refers to the loop of things coming back together. The beginning to the end with a certain process. This pattern is called a cycle, and it is a fundamental pattern in life to realise. We can moslty see this pattern in the form of an horizontal sequence forming a block or a circle. The 4 seasons, the moon cycle, the plant cycle, the market cycles, the business cycle, the human life cycle, the generational cycle, etc. They provide a sense of rhythm, predictability, and continuity. Understanding cycles can help identify patterns, anticipate future events, and gain insights into the interconnectedness of different systems. The Hero journey, the shadow process and the cultural stages are cycles worth paying attention to in psychology. We can see cycles as particular sequences of events and phenomenons create by nature. This pattern is inherenlty feminine.
Hierarchy
Hierarchy is a vertical pattern so it is more in the form of a staking and an organisation. This illustrates the certain sequences, the certain order of priority and the certain stages before the other. It helps categorize information with levels of macro and micro. Nowadays we tend to think of hierarchy in a social way. This is valid, but it is not only limited to that. A genealogy, a business organisation or a social competition is where the hierarchy is the most vicious. The form of a triangle can help us understand more this pattern and how it can be helpful. The function stack in typology is hierarchical, at least how it is conceptualized. Some functions generally happen above other one base on the type you are. The climbing and the priority of information is moslty because of this form of pattern which is inherently masculine.
Fractals
This is usually when cycles meet dualities and hierarchies. This is a square (dualities) doing a symmetry of the circle (cycles) in a spyral way that is going upward or downwards (hierarchy). So fractals have geometrical structural patterns that show similarity at all the different levels and scales. They have an infinite complexity, and a phenomenal ability to represent the underlying structure found in many natural phenomenons. We can say that dualities are outside of the fractal pattern but our human minds will make binaries out of the fractal to fully comprehend the circle.

Patterns
The repetition is the key factor about patterns. This is just experience speaking and pointing towards some type of categories over time. Patterns are linkage of information that can be reproduced in other context or certain context. It can be conceptual patterns, natural patterns, behavioral patterns, auditory patterns, visuals patterns, and so on and so on. In typology, we can say that the patterns are spot by the intuitive functions. But they are noticed and are part of the process of other functions like the sensory, the feeling and the thinking functions. We can say that the patterns are a more intellectualize and proven (sensory, thinking, feeling) expression of intuition. The realms, the specializations and the experiences are what makes you see more and more the patterns. They will still be express in the form of categories in either a staking (Ni) way or a spectrum (Ne) way. We could say that the thinking function is about noticing patterns with the imposition of formulas and the feeling function with the imposition of priorities. The sensory is what prove the patterns and makes you see them.
Symbols
The best way to summarize the word is to say that this is the contain information of the unity (Oi) and the multiplicity (Oe) that join together in the form. The perception is encapsulate in the sensory and the intuition. But the message symbols convey is about the intuition and the feeling. Thats why symbols have an implicit and intuitive aspect to them, the symbols cause or imply a meaning. They can be seen in everything, objects, images, words and gestures that represent and stand for something. They carry deeper meanings and have associations beyond their literal interpretations. This is not simply a pattern but is about the form conveying the message in terms of encapsulation (joining together). We could say that patterns are linking informations while symbols emerge of the contain information in terms of meaning and unified encapsulation. In typology language symbolisation is NF.
Universals
This is a word that I overuse in my description of things. This is a hard one cause you get it or you don't get it. Universals refer to the share ideas we have towards something. We can call this the collective unconscious in some ways. In typology, this is a Ne play thing. The flood is an example of a universal pattern in religions where the land is destroyed by purification, chaos, divine wrath and potential (symbolisation). It is shared in most religions and convey shared abstract images (universal). When you think of sensory alone, do you think its extrovert or introvert ? Its extrovert in universal. Universals refer to common sense but in the Ne/Play/NF terms. Classic common sense is exterior precise societal ST things. We can also summarize universal by the meeting of symbols and awareness of patterns. What is right in universal about the contain information and what it is implying in the patterns surrounding it. It is also not subjective by default because it sees the contain information as a collective meaning. Universals can be compare to Plato idea of forms. I might be wrong when I call something in universal but I am trying to call it in that type of space, not call it my opinion.

Objectivity
This is when there is a shared external representation that can be verified. This is referring to something that can be proven and is unbiased. There is an impartial and is without of personal opinion and emotions. In my precise langage wording, objectivity is something that operates in external precise in universals. The process at least is very exterior and the tracking for objectivity is exterior precise. Its aim is to have concrete proofs that something is shared in the sensory and the thinking. In typology, I call in universals that facts are ST. And facts are what make you come closer to objectivity in the exterior domain of practicality. We can call something objective in other domains of reality but it might not be optimal.
Science
This is the process of having an hypothesis and using experimentations to see if that hypothesis hold up in reality. For proper science, we have to register all the different steps and calculations to see if things match. After we see the result and conclude why it works, didn't work and what was the errors or the good points of the experimentation. Often time scientists find other useful stuff while doing the scientific process. The tracking process is actually what matters in science to actually evolve and to build upon itself.
Systematic
Systematic is actually the word that we have to use more because it refers to the methodical, structural, organise process. Science doesn't matter that much if it doesn't use a systematic approach and is not about experimenting. Like objectivity means nothing if it is interpreted incorrectly. Instead of using words like science and objectivity, we should focus on what metrics, axioms and systematic ways are we interpreting those variables in your "science" and your "objective" data. Objective is still incredibly useful when we talk about sensory and thinking but in the process itself or other domain it fall short and is overuse. How does your scientific process is actually systematize. The awareness of the template of the system is what is making a science.
Truth
The truth is when things match up with reality. There are universal, personal, exterior, experiential truths. So subjective truths exist, but they remains to the subjective, meaning you can't invade the exterior with your subjective meaning. So truths are contained in realms and figures of truths. This is also not black and white. When the truth is super complex and nuance, the finding of the truth is more tricky. There are spectrum of how true you were and in what ways you were right or wrong. The exterior and universal truths are important to develop because they are what hold you accountable and make you right in your operations. The personal and the experiential truths are tricky but they are important for leveraging lessons and precise individual matters. The truth has more abstract and transcendental associations in universals, it is more internal and universal in terms of focus. Objectivity is more external and precise.
Critical thinking and reason
This is a little bit like systematic but in a more out of the box kind of way. It is being concern with the thing itself and assessing if it is reasonable for what it is worth. We can say it is an active engagment to arrive at something that is cohesive and respect the domain of thinking and reason. Every parts is analyse and is logical in terms of deduction. There is nothing left that is outside of reason and is not subject to critic. The assesment is radical and exclude everything that is not subject to that.
Accountability
Accountability refers to the responsibility for one's actions, acknowledging the consequences of those actions, and taking ownership of the outcomes, whether positive or negative. This is also a word to use more. It promotes trust, reliability, and transparency in personal, professional, and organizational relationships. Truths, objective metrics and systems are ways to account for your bullshit. This is when you have a track record and see the progress you're making with your experimentations, like science. Accountability is a radical form of transparency and feedback process. We can say that science is a form of organise accountability more particular to a certain domain when it is applied in its purpose.
Emotional Experential Feedback Tools
Rituals
Rituals are routine base and are formed by norms. It can be subjective norms (level of discipline), community norms (society, groups), work norms and many others. The importance of rituals is significant because we base our lives on the structure of those routines. It's a representation of our beliefs and values. Tradition is a close connection to rituals because this is a reminder that you have to do those things in order to value your heritage and move towards the future. It offers transitions, symbolism and psychological impact to the individual and the community. In typology language, I think of rituals as something that is SF and the most proper form of rituals is Si Fe and Si Fi. We can also talk of NF a little bit in the sense of how rituals can symbolize transitions and psychological impacts.
Spiritual
This is the realm of the abstract and the feeling of connection with the universe. The spirit seeking something that is about the feeling and the intuition. Things beyond the physical that manifest in the forms of meaning, connection and subjective interpretations mostly. This is often time referring to the quest for transcendence, self-discovery, and a sense of interconnectedness with others, nature, or the divine. We don't have a proper integration of spirituality in our culture right now because we don't focus on rituals. Also, we focus too much on the subjective understanding rather than universals and proper aligning forms of connections. This spiritual word is overvalued so the NF is actually simplify and doesn't mean much.
Religion/Ideologies
It is a combination of beliefs, values, rituals and spiritual factors. This is a big worldview shaper and something that is shared among a lot of people. There is a book that is the source for all the rituals and practises of the religion. The books have myths and stories that give lessons and symbolisation to offer a better understanding of the world and its patterns. There are universalities through all the religions, there are always a prophet and some common patterns. In typology, religion is a feeler base thing that is SF and NF. This is very interconnect with culture and collective unconscious images so we can say that it is more on the Fe Ne side. We can also talk about the power of ideologies and how they can make people follow blindly some causes because their emotions are into it.
Meaning
Meaning is something that is subjective in our relative mind. In my sense in the absolute, life is only meaning. This overcharge word will be interpret base on the level of your perception. You will see reality and be guide by your purpose formed by your representations (instincts and motivation). Meaning is a dynamic and ongoing process that can evolve throughout life. What gives meaning to an individual may change over time as circumstances, perspectives, and priorities shift. But in our own experience, there are universally optimal ways to make meaning. Family, friends, growing, giving, fulfilling career, joy, peace of mind, in line with the process are all good goals. But they all fall short in terms of goods compare to the transcendental good which is often compare to God in religions. It points towards the absolute and is inclusive and integrative. It has a representation of meaning and is imbed in a story. For the word "universe" or "reality" to be transcendental in your representation it will become synonimous to God. Using meaning for your own selfish desire is not a good way to express your meaning. What grabs attention and is valued in the culture (ideologies) is what most people base their meanings on. That is inevitable as a baseline and useful to progress societies.
Emotions and feelings
In the most raw sense, the emotions themselves are a way for us to have a compass about reality. There are primordial emotions that we can call pulsions. We also have normal emotions like joy, anger, sadness, etc. And finally, we have the more intellectualize emotions that can be more in the realm that we call feelings. We have mirror neurons that are a way to express and feel the emotions of other people. This is crucial for us to form some kind of emotional feelings and relating feedback with other people. Those experiences make us more integrate in the relations that we have with other people in the context of the familty, the culture and the nation. We come to understand how people operates and use langage to communicate and form bonding. In my sense it can roughly be in the sense of priority, attention and direction of focus. We can say its a drive and also a way to see if what we are doing actually means something. The feedback of emotions can give the satisfaction factor in ourselves and others.
Stories
The narratives in the culture are a way for us to make sense of the world and arrive at the meeting of rituals and spiritual. They offer a way to wonder, have some sort of meaning and learn lessons from the experience of life. They are universal enough to make us realise things about ourselves and life and precise enough to make us learn a specific practical thing. At least the most optimal and best stories that live the test of time will capture a collective emotional intelligence. We can also see forms of entertainment that are just there to captivate us and forget the day to day life. But fundamentally, stories are there to inform us about deep subjects in life and captivate us in a profound way. The stories are the intermediary of the past (ancestors) and of the future (generations living on). We see the cycles through them.
My system 4rch4ion 4Globes
Archaion meaning
Arche means "principle" or "cause", something that was in the beginning in ancient Greek. Aion means "all the time" or "for all the time" in ancient Greek. Aion is the god of eternity representing the cycle of time while Cronos was representing the linearity of time. For Carl Jung, Aion describes how the Self or God-imago is born in the soul, how it is symbolized, and how the Self has evolved over time. The fish symbolizes the Self in both its positive and negative aspects. Christ is associated with the self and symbolized by the fish.
4 Globes meaning
The 4 Globes are 1. Interior Precise (Innate), 2. Exterior Precise (Interface), 3. Interior Universal (Universals), 4. Exterior Universal (The experience). These are the fundamental categories of my system which work in a mathematical wholeness (duality squaring). The number 4 represents wholeness. It encapsulates a lot of things in life, like the 4 seasons, the 4 cardinal points, 4 letters (intuition, sensation, feeling, thinking), etc. It is in the form of a square which is stability, strong foundations and order. The word Globe refers to the planet. It literally means that the 4 globes are 4 different worlds at perceiving life. Because they are the bigger categories that can be made, they are the starting point on the macro aspect. They connect together and create spheres which are the more micro and precise form of the globes.
Numerology
There is 3 letter fours in the real name of my system even though I often time call it Archaion. It is because 3 is the trinity aspect and represent perfection. Now I dont call my system perfect but rather that a system or an ideology cannot be contain in 1 because its totalitarian, not 2 because it forms opposite over time and not 4 because its too stable and square for it to be perfect. It is a reminder of the trinity and the fact that my system has 4 globes and 8 spheres that are constructives. Archaion or 4rch4ion also contain 8 words which illustrate the Aion meaning and the Arche meaning with 8 being associate with eternity. The other word Globe has 6 letters which is associate with the circle and with the circularity of the meaning of the word globe. The number 4 next to it is to add the mystic 7, the true cycle of things and the real circle that is outside of rationality. The A are replace by the 4 because the beginning is a set of foundation and to remind us that my system is a rational formulation.
Personality Architecture
Type
This is at its most potent form in between interior precise and interior universal which is sphere (1-3). It is looking at individuals and assessing them with universals categories (that we hope are fundamental for a good typology). So this is a categorisation of people with define characteristics and traits in the categories they operate on. Binary coins, cycle, hierarchical patterns together can create fractals and spectrums. This help be more accurate, mathematical, systematic and arrive at proper typology systems.
Archetype
There are so many forms of archetype in my system, but the classic is in the sphere 1-3. Which is the interior universal with interior precise, dealing with fantasy and image that the unconscious deal with (self variations mostly). But the other spheres that are connected to 3 also have archetypal aspects. This will be such a good aspect to focus on in my system further down the road because this can actually help us put more precisions to the archetype theme. Arche means "principle" or "cause", something that was in the beginning in ancient Greek.
Mixture
This is the innate at its maximum. I call it the mixture. So this is the most interior precise possible (globe 1). We will never know it at its most real and precise form cause of our personality hiding it. Like the self, it is not possible at all to really know it except maybe have glimpse of it (for most of us). The mixture is highly subjective and individualistic but is not considered all of the person which the self is. It is not productive to put it has the main goal of interior precise cause it cannot be always known at 100%. But it can be useful to know it has states and precise moment knowing. It changes and comes down to the theoretical neuronal precision level.
Innate
This is the inner subjectivity, all the precise individual mechanisms remove from other influences. We can maybe categorize it one day or arrive close to it, but it is very individualistic driven so it is personalize. We can call it good subjectivity in the sense it isn't anecdotal and random. It is honest at its best form. We cannot be sure of the innate but it is quite possible to arrive at an optimal level of it. Innate is considered the main goal of globe 1 (interior precise) even though the mixture is more precise.
The 4 big categories of a person
Personality
The four globes in my system. Basically the interior precise (1-innate), exterior precise (2-interface, I put society in this case for personality), interior universal (3-universals), exterior universal (4-expérience). In general, it is the innate + society + universals + expérience = personality. I don't define personality as only the interior precise (mixture and innate) or types (sphere 1-3) or the self (transcendence of the personality and divine experience).
The Self
For Carl Jung, the Self is an archetype representing the psychic totality, the unification of the conscious and the unconscious of the psychic life of the individual. The ego, the shadow, the persona, the anima and animus, collective unconscious are united. The Self is the equivalent of all the different parts of the person, what was, what is, what will, consciously to unconsciously. We will never know all of the self, maybe get glimpse of the divine, transcendence factor and small capture of "all at once" (for some of us). The mandala is a symbol of the self and I believe that my system at its highest form (realization, knowledge and experience) in the form of an informing map can help and guide us to a state of the self.
Power
Power in my sense is one of the worst represent words out there. It doesn’t mean domination or necessarily doing evil, it can do good and bad equally. The will to power is the drive to preach something that you think you have something on. It’s an accumulation and expression process. That’s what people do most of their life’s they run to gain things, skills, criterias, experiences, knowledge, money, awareness and they express it (inward and outward). It’s when we take the position of an accumulation or an expression or a desires in themselves that it becomes a problem which is the imbalance problem and the pride of power.
The utilisation of power is scary cause if the power is superior to us than its utilisation is above us and we don’t have a word to say about it. It has more control and possibilities. But the good power protect people. Heres are the nuance to make: 1. It should be known how vastly different the accumulation and the expression of it are 2. Power is relative and base on a structure that support somehow that something has power. 3. There are more optimal forms of power 4. Power should not be represent as the equivalent of domination and people should grow some nuance awareness over it (not fear it).
1. It is normal to have less power in some areas and it is not the end when you have no power, power is mostly from within and the expression are so vast that it is impossible to have « no power ». Fun is a form of power, your acts of shit too cause you show a model for people how to not act, being dumb is a form of power cause you don’t know what’s going on.
2. If someone has immense power it is because the collective is in line with it for some reason. What the person has is valuable and consider worth something universally. Power change and other power are counter power to some. And new things and revolution kills what end up being a not so great power. It is the evolution game, a fight of processes.
3. Consciousness, awareness, love, truth, integrity, understanding, are probably the most powerful form of power because 1. They are inclusive 2. They have less chance to be contaminate 3. They empower themselves and support lower power.
4. People should have better representations of what they are projecting into things. What you fear, good and bad. If you are angry because you don’t have power don’t demonize people who have it. Pretty much everyone as a place where their power sucks and they would poison their mind if they go into comparison, demonization, projections etc.
Everyone has that drive. The non contagious, empowering form of power are still power so it’s not about it being bad. Eating, fun, compassion are still power. Power = Accumulate and express what you have. Even the most optimal forms have that, it is very fundamental. Just that the conscious forms of power have less need, less contamination, support lower and higher levels of power and are more open to the transcendant factors.
There are definitely forms of power that are oppressive, perverse and non integrative. They can also be quite effective and overrepresent in the highest echelon of the human order. It is optimal to remind ourselves that we all fall to bad forms of power and that ignorance is to blame and not power itself.
Feeling Self Abstraction Trinity
Psychology
The word 'psychology' is derived from two Greek words, 'psyche', meaning the mind, soul or spirit and 'logos', meaning discourse or to study. Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. Psychologists are actively involved in studying and understanding mental processes, brain functions, and behaviors. There are many fields like developmental psychology, humanistic, neurospsychology, psychodynamic, education, communitary, behavioral, social and personality science, work and organisational psychology.
Spirit
The nonphysical part of a person which is the seat of emotions and character. Spirit is in the courage and determination that helps people survive in difficult times and to keep their way of life and their beliefs. In typology language, it is more the NF/feelings and serve as a memory and act as an apparition that is seen (not the woo woo kind) and will remain (unbound by time). It is in a sense the perception of the feeling trinity into a memory. In my opinion this is the abstract form of the feeling trinity that can be use to interact with higher agencies and experience connectivity with the oneness of the world. Like the mind to some degree.
Soul
Carl Jung thinks the self is born in the soul. The soul is an archetype of the psyche. It is like the extraction of the psyche in a more abstract form. The soul act in the present in the image of poetic form. It is abstract and is unseen fundamentally but felt while the spirit acts as a memory and is seen. The soul tends to be more human like compare to the psyche that is more brain like. We can make the case in typology language that the soul is the Fe of the Ti psyche. In my sense the soul is the mediator between the psyche and the spirit. It is the positive middle ground that show why we act by the characterizations of the spirit and the acting out in the world of the psyche. Everyone is equal in the soul but not in spirit.
Psyche
The psyche is actually defined as the whole of one's being, conscious and unconscious. It is like the self but a lot more focus on intellectual understanding and is not transcendental at all or merely within its own realm. We tend to mean by it as the totality of phenomenons in the brain. It is more concrete in phenomena and can be described. Even though the psyche is super complex and deal with aspects we might never grasp totally (unconscious content). The psyche is a ritualistic and intellectual engine that is illustrate by the function of the brain even if its more than that. In my sense the true memory is in the spirit but we act as if the psyche is the real deal.
Psyche and Soul
Soul is the archetype of the psyche according to Jung.
Feeling abstraction of the self trinity
The psyche is also ritualistic so its intellectual and ritualistic. The psyche is in line with the vibration levels, the soul with the logos and the spirit with levels of totality.
Thinking Self Abstraction Trinity
Philosophy
It means "love of wisdom." In a broad sense, philosophy is an activity people undertake when they seek to understand the fundamental truths about themselves, the world in which they live in, and their relationships to the world and others. The main branches of philosophy are epistemology (how do we know), metaphysics (what is real, beyond the physical), ontology (questions about existence and being), cosmology (nature and origin of the universe), axiology (what is right), ethics (what is of value), aesthetics (the beautiful and the tasteful), and logics (how do we reason).
Logos
The word "logos" derive from the Greek word λόγος which means "speech", "discourse", "reasons" and "logic". It is often time use in some form of trinity during history. The ancient Greek uses Ethos (credibility and ethics), Pathos (emotions and feelings), Logos (reasoning and logic). It is the word that is the precursor to democracy (free speech) and science (reasonings). In typology language we can associate Ethos with De, Pathos with feelings and Logos to thinking and Di. I use the word as the center of my base 4 trinity. I thought I would use intellect at first but it didn't quite fit in the most optimal way. Cosmos is good in the sense we are the human in which the universe is seen. But Logos just seems like the best encapsulation and a tribute to the great intellect of our history in the West. This is the perfect word in my opinion to encapsulate as much as possible the middle of the most extensive trinity. The intelligibility of the world around us in a reciprocical feedback. The dialogue with other humans as a form of interacting with life and coming to a reasonable and truthful, beautiful and good reality by discourse.
Mind
I consider mind like the spirit but in a more thinker fashion. I see mind as the most abstract form of the thinker trinity. It seems that memory is more in the intellect for the thinker trinity and the memory is more in the spirit for the feeling trinity. In certain languages spirit and mind are synonymous. We conceptualize mind as something that is in the line with awareness and consciousness. There seem to be a collective intelligence level that is multimind like, maybe a comprehensive collective unconscious. I personally view it as utilizing the mind to its full potential as the highest of the levels of the thinker trinity. We can refer to the "Nous" by Plotinus.
Intellect
It is the capacity to understand and think. It is more strict in its form of operating. It is using the mind in a concrete and memorization way. I distinguish intellect and mind by the fact that the intellect is concerned about solving and utilizing logics in the real world only or principles that the person as learn over time in the course of its life. Intellect is more concrete and use what it has accumulate. While mind is trying to abstract reasoning and come to something more meta and global in terms of reasoning and perception.
Thinker abstraction of the self trinity
The intellect is also ritualistic.

Logos is working as a memory in my base 4 trinity. I rename path of totality to levels of totality. For the logos, the present is actually discovered and discuss, not unclear.
Advanced Feedback Tools (construct aware level)
Mandala
Derived from the Sanskrit word for "circle," the mandala is a geometric design that represents the universe and the self. Mandalas often appear in dreams, meditative visions, and artwork as a means of seeking balance and harmony within. They serve as a powerful tool for self-integration. It has a center point referring to the individuation from a Jungian perspective and expand to every corner with a balancing synchronisation. Everything you create in your mind is your fabrication and that extend to every corner of the self. Jung's theory highlights the significance of the transcendent function. This function allows individuals to transcend the limitations of the ego and connect with the higher aspects of their beings.
Vectors not equal
The calculation of subjectivity. The difference of forces in the multiplicity of vectors. Being aware that things have place, time, direction and lenght to them. They are not equal in analysis and will fall short. Things are not what they seem to be and they will have different vectors even if things can be "equal" in principles. Some things are longer than others, have a different direction and are fundamentally different in time and place. It means things are different and they can be calculate in some standard (be better or worse) but they are lost in a field of subjectivity and appearance.
Dimensionality
1 = Large category (appearance)
2 = Characteristic (appearance)
3 = Actions and possessions
4 = Attitude and traits
5 = Framework of traits
6 = Systematic framework of traits
7 = Universal system
8 = Integral system
9 = Profound expérience at a precise time
10 = Experience as a transcendance of time
Itinary and Navigation
Being aware of the types of pathways you are using to categorize something. Itinary is being aware of the road you are using and what you see. Navigation is being aware of what content you are using right now as a phenomenon. Technically navigation should be more precise and less categorical but still is extract to some degree from the itinary.
5 agents
Process (path) = Attention and ignorance (by default) = sins
Error (actions) = Attention and ignorance (by default) = sins
Relativity (charges) = Attention and ignorance (by default) = sins
Package (containers) = Attention and ignorance (by default) = sins
Consciousness = Transcend Relativity
Trinity and Quadras
3 = Perfection
4 = Wholeness
The Trinity encapsulate things perfectly in a cohesive abstract manner. The quadras represent the wholeness and satisfaction of the human mind.
Journaling and writing
Explain the territory as much as possible with writing. Journaling what you think, feel, experience, ideate. The type of word usage, etc.
Dialectics and stages
Thesis + Antithesis = Synthesis (new Thesis). Undertanding that aspect in rhetoric and how things develop is crucial. Synthesis + Hierarchy = stages. Stages are a place in the hierarchy that are at a particular place and has synthesize previous stages. Spiral dynamics and developmental stages in psychology are good example for advanced feedback tools.
Negociation
Even though negociation can be simple it is still an incredible complicate feedback tool. It is the feedback in itself. It is always more complicate and nuance than its seem which can be forgotten. Being skilled at negociation is difficult.
Experience vs Knowledge vs Revelation
All those ones are forms to connect to reality. They will all be express in everyone lifes. They are about a particular level of reality in isolation universally but still inform us about other forms. They are all in a dynamic relationship with one and another. We can simply say that they are the expression of the different levels in the human mind. By default it will mean that my formulation of those 3 levels is by default in the knowledge or the Cosmos of the Logos.
Experience: In my base 4 trinity, experience is the lower level which means it is more concern with eartly things. The vibrations levels and the motivation aspect. It is with the living in the world and being in contact with vibration that there is an accumulation of experience. All that accumulation will form some type of particular motivation aspect in your life. The Beautiful.
Knowledge: In my base 4 trinity, knowledge is in the middle level which means it is more concern with human things. The Logos and the role aspect. It is with the imposition of a structure of the world and being metacognitive with the Logos that there is a construction of knowledge. All that construction will form some kind of particular knowledge aspect in your life. The Truth.
Revelation: In my base 4 trinity, revelation is in the higher level which means it is more concern with heaven things. The levels of totality and the perception aspect. It is with the world soul and being open to the contact with the levels of totality that there is a transcendance aspect that is revelatory. All that transcendance will form some kind of particular revelation aspect in your life. The Good.
In typology langage, we can say that experience is in the SF, knowledge is in the ST and NT and revelation is in the NF. In my sense the dimensions of life are a way for us to undertand better what those 3 levels actually refer to. I would say that the more optimal way to apprehend those levels is in the context of the other levels to form a more cohesive reality for all of us. But they join together perfectly in cohesion. In my sense their cohesion in our perception when integrate is Love in itself, not as an emotion. A sense of gratitude and acceptance and The Love in itself.
Conscious vs Unconscious vs Awareness vs Consciousness
Conscious: It is the present awareness of something that is graspable. The attention of the conscious aspect is limited to what is happening or just happen or is about to happen. Its time frame and capacity are limited to what is present on the here and now. It is symbolically being awake and living life. Someone that is "conscious" will have more awareness and will be "more" alive. There is more things graspable to the attention. The present is more graspable. But conscious awareness cannot exist without an unconscious side to it. That unconscious content is what fuels the conscious aspect by not being limited to the here and now.
Unconscious: We can see the unconscious as the storage of content that cannot be grasp immediately or that isnt on the forth front of attention. Its awareness is immense but we cannot access that awareness cause of the nature of the unconscious. It is where things are hidden or not fully graspable. Someone that is "unconscious" will be lost and will be "less" alive. There is less things graspable to the attention. The present is less graspable. The unconscious awareness cannot recognize itself as an awareness alone without the conscious aspect mediating it. It can as a psychological experience but the agency and the attention will be overwhelm or not at all aware.
Awareness and Self awareness: To recognize something. Coming to know, perceive and being cognizant of events. Self awareness is when there is an awareness of a conscious agent (a sense of control of actions). If it can be built upon in terms of experience and be "felt" (hard problem of conscious awareness), it means there is a self awareness. We can talk about metacognition when it can abstract itself, which is what happens when someone has some degree of self awareness. Awareness being notice is also something in line with the unconscious aspect because of the feedback of informations even if its minimum. But the graspable and the capacity to act on it is the conscious content in the present moment. It is in the celebration of when the unconscious content is made conscious that we can talk of an awareness that is mastered to some extent. So it is by default limited to the awareness of the conscious agent. Even though, awareness on its own is infinite. We can imagine awareness like a continuum of eyes and wheels going up and down and horizontally.
Consciousness: This is understand gracefully by the human mind as the fractal nature of life. Seeing that experience of awareness is just a interconnectedness of experential agents that are making life conscious of itself. The micro to the macro structure being join together in a fractal way. That embodiement of agencies accross the spectrum like a field of subjectivity is what consciousness really is, not being self aware or adding awareness even if it partake in that. Being conscious is limited to self awareness while consciousness is not limited to self awareness. It is when life is truly self aware of itself. When awareness is not bound to a limitation of agency. We can talk about a big bubble incorporating life itself to have a good illustration of what it is. In my opinion this is the ultimate transcendance aspect of life. Experiencing God or the One is experiencing consciousness without any boundaries and barriers.
