7PartSelf
MODEL
7PartSelf model
7PartSelf is a superior structural model of human Self offering a comprehensive framework for understanding human identity, behavior, and consciousness. It integrates multiple psychological, neurological, and semiotic theories to present a holistic view of the human Self. Here is an overview of each part:
1. Somnium Nexu (Dream Connection)
Function: Connects personal and collective dreams through access to collective signs and symbols of humanity.
Control System: Quasi-Singularity States and hyperbit compute.
Role: Simulation, meaning-making, and connection to dreams.
Organizing Principle: Semiotics (study of signs and symbols) Language.
Research Influences: Charles Sanders Peirce (semiotics) and Carl J. Jung (collective unconscious).
Venn Position: Intersection of circles A (Hic Sum) and B (Fit Mihi).
Boundaries Shared: Hic Sum & Fit Mihi.
2. Fulcrum of Identity
Function: Balances and integrates all parts of the Self around consciousness and identity.
Control System: Quasi-Singularity States and hyperbit compute.
Role: Central organizing locus for consciousness and identity.
Organizing Principle: Identity.
Research Influences: Albert Bandura (social learning theory), Charles Sanders Peirce, and John Weir Perry (psychological integration).
Venn Position: Central intersection of circles A (Hic Sum), B (Fit Mihi), and C (Ecce Me).
Boundaries Shared: Internal Stimulus, External Stimulus, and Somnium Nexu.
3. Hic Sum (Here I Am)
Function: Purely neurological realm, inner workings.
Control System: Domain of Influence (D.o.I.).
Role: Stores historical and adaptive aspects of the Self.
Organizing Principle: Neurology.
Research Influences: Charles Darwin (evolutionary theory) and John Weir Perry.
Venn Position: Singular domain of circle A.
Boundaries Shared: Internal Stimulus and Somnium Nexu.
4. Fit Mihi (It Happens to Me)
Function: Sensory realm, outer world stimulus.
Control System: Domain of Influence (D.o.I.).
Role: Processes sensory input from the outer world.
Organizing Principle: Sensory.
Research Influences: Charles Sanders Peirce.
Venn Position: Singular domain of circle B.
Boundaries Shared: External Stimulus and Somnium Nexu.
5. Internal Stimulus
Function: Inner realm, discriminatory boundary inside the skin.
Control System: Locus of Control (L.o.C.).
Role: Triage internal stimuli for stability and predictability.
Organizing Principle: Dissociative/Pervasive Spectrum.
Research Influences: John Weir Perry.
Venn Position: Intersection of circles A and C.
Boundaries Shared: Ecce Me, Hic Sum, and Fulcrum of Identity.
6. External Stimulus
Function: Outer realm, discriminatory boundary outside the skin.
Control System: Locus of Control (L.o.C.).
Role: Triage external stimuli for survival.
Organizing Principle: Preference/Protection System.
Research Influences: Abraham Maslow (hierarchy of needs) and Sigmund Freud (psychosexual development).
Venn Position: Intersection of circles B and C.
Boundaries Shared: Ecce Me, Fit Mihi, and Fulcrum of Identity.
7. Ecce Me (Behold Me)
Function: Observable behavior generated by the Self.
Control System: Locus of Control (L.o.C.).
Role: Actualizing force in the development of the Self and others.
Organizing Principle: Behavioral.
Research Influences: B. F. Skinner (behaviorism) and John Bowlby (attachment theory).
Venn Position: Singular domain of circle C.
Boundaries Shared: Internal Stimulus and External Stimulus.
The 7PartSelf model emphasizes the interconnectedness of these seven parts, highlighting how they interact to create a cohesive identity and behavior. By understanding and integrating these parts, the model aims to foster a more comprehensive and balanced sense of Self.
