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.
