Formal Analysis |
Logic:
Laws of Relational Logic
Group Theory of Mathematics: Law of Inverse
In every mathematical group, for every element, there is an inverse
element, which, combined with the first, yields the identity element.
Under the
operation of addition, the inverse elements are opposite: a
+ (-a) = 0
Under the
operation of multiplication, the inverse elements are reciprocal:
a x 1/a = 1

Opposites ae distinguished by rotational differences (clockwise
vs. counterclockwise), but are located in the same portion of
the circle.
 
Reciprocals share the same rotational direction but are distinguished
by locational differences (top vs. bottom/left vs. right)

Variables Analysis |

Variables of the SHM

The Simple Harmonic Motion is conceptualized as a function of
the following symbolically identified variables:
Displacement
= S
Maximum Displacement = A
(amplitude of the oscillation)
Velocity = v
Acceleration = a
Force = F
gravity
= g
Mass = m
Energy = E

The 6-role sequence is conceptualized as a function of the following
behavioral variables equivalent to physics:
Normative

Energetic Induction Analysis |
Physics
Lenz's Law
Principle of induction of energy E
= F x S
=(m1m2/
I2) x S |
The
energy of an oscillating pendulum is equal to the product of the
ball's gravity (wieght) times the ball's displacement from the
position of equilibrium. Energy
= Force x Displacement
|
The
energy of a harmonically evolving person is equal to the product
of his/her dependency needs and displacement from the point of
rest. Conflict

Energetic Conservation Analysis |
Physics
Law of the conservation of energy: Energy can neither
be created nor destroyed, only transformed Etot
= E1 +
E2 +E3
|
The
energy of an oscillating pendulum is constant and equal to the
sum of the kinetic, potential and momentum energies as registered
at any given instant. The sum ideally is equivalent to the intial
energy imparted to the system. Etot
= Ekinetic
+ Epotential
+Emomentum |
For
any individual in conflict at every instant the sum of social
energies (action and speech), psychic energies (feelings and thoughts),
and biological energies (drives and impulses) is constant and
equal to the energy imparted to the individual upon inception
of the conflict. Etotal
= Esocial
+ Epsychic
+ Ebiological

Conflict or Motivational Analysis |
Physics
F

SHM
is the type of vibratory motion in which the acceleration, a,
is proportional and opposite to the displacement, S.
Acceleration, a, is always directed
towards the rest position. Acceleration
=

The
Conflict Resolution Process is the type of periodic occurrence
in which the emotional motivational driving force, a,
is proportional to the normative deviation and always directed
towards the rest state. Motivational
