Structural Behavior
THE NINE FIELD STATES
Location is not state. A person can stand in the Garden while operating extractively, and stand in the Abyss while maintaining coherence.
FS1
SO
SOURCE / UNITY
Function · Originates
Undifferentiated potential before division.
FS2
DU
DUALITY
Function · Differentiates
The structure splits into contrast and choice.
FS3
GA
GATE
Function · Opens
An opening appears. Passage becomes possible.
FS4
TH
THRESHOLD
Function · Tests permeability
What is allowed through is decided here.
FS5
EG
FAE / EGRESS
Function · Releases / Exits
Departure, release, clean exit from a structure.
FS6
FO
INTERFACE / FORMATION
Function · Forms structures
New architecture is assembling and interfacing.
FS7
EX
FRAGMENTED / EXTRACTION
Function · Separates or removes
Something is being taken out of the system.
FS8
CH
ADJACENT / CHAOS
Function · Expands neighboring possibilities
Possibility without sufficient selection. Expensive.
FS9
CR
COMPLETION / CRYSTALLIZATION
Function · Stabilizes
The structure holds and becomes durable.
Reaction Pathways
FORMATION
SO → DU → GA → TH → FO → CR
LIBERATION
CR → GA → TH → EG → CH → FO → CR′
EXTRACTION
FO → EX → CH
CHAOS IS POSSIBILITY WITHOUT SUFFICIENT SELECTION.
CHAOS IS EXPENSIVE.
No Crystallization Without a Test
- ·Does the new behavior survive pressure?
- ·Does the boundary survive guilt?
- ·Does the relationship survive disagreement?
- ·Does the system survive actual use?
- ·Does the belief survive evidence?
- ·Does the routine survive inconvenience?
If yes
FO → P5 TEST → CR
Formation verified.
If no
FO → P5 TEST → CH
