2024nov05 Being social, Harv is partially driven by externals, that is, “his world, in a sense, chosen by him,” and specifically, his closer encounters with specific individuals, or aggregate groups. He works to (1) sum the internalized principle that base his lifetime, (2) be ware of external influences, (3) continue reason as carried forward from his early years merging the internal and externals, and (4) choose his acts — in turn, those cumulative acts build “his world” succinctly represented by Illustration Seven “Me-Self” life.scenes, Illustration Eight “Epochs” of his lifetime, and Illustration Eight “Spirit Principles” Illustration Five “Hierarchical Love Levels” Illustration Four “A Universal Human Self Definition” Illustration Eleven “A F.OR Precedence Network Action Listing”
Functional Organization (aka F.OR / Theory W) are the basis of Harv’s thinking / writing — and, he soon to be in year 87, Harv needs / wants F.OR to be narrated specifically and generally to guide his reasoning for his ongoing self.choices.

Hypothesis = explains phenomenon [hypothesis — Theory W weaves a wholistic view of Harv’s lifetime] = observable event [Harv’s self’s lifetime], worthy of note and investigation [Harv’s survivability into future], untoward (unexpected), person, otherwise notable. Harv considers his self a difficult phenomenon worthy of investigation for his self’s further benefit, using his blog web site as a writing tool with an audience of one — his self, within that, he studies complexity theory via this Blogger Page.
Harv wants [desires, needs(iPad OAD)] to see his self as described in his study notes [BUT AT A MORE COMMON LEVEL], via Theory W, he evidences his life tasks as an 86yo, to plan with JoyLoveFreeing his future leading to his graceful-death actions. Also, Harv believes in Maslow’s actualization applied to Harv’s self at a commoner level of life.work.
As others have difficulty, as does Harv, in defining Harv relative to his future lifetime wants / needs — he seeks evidence to understand his self and reason his future as one organized individual.

2024oct05 Complex individuals are those who possess multiple traits and characteristics that make them difficult to understand or classify. They may have complex personalities, behaviors, beliefs, or relationships that defy simple categorization. This section will provide an introduction to the concept of complexity in individuals, including its origins, definitions, and potential applications. The concept of complexity theory originated from systems theory, which seeks to understand how complex systems behave and interact with each other. In the context of human behavior, complexity theory emphasizes the interconnectedness and interdependence of different aspects of a person’s life, such as their emotions, thoughts, actions, and relationships. There is no single definition of complexity that applies universally across all fields and disciplines. However, some scholars define complexity as the degree of organization or order within a system [his self], while others view it as the number of possible outcomes or configurations that a system [his self] can take on [especially for his future even as an 86yo]. Still, others describe complexity as the ability of a system to adapt and change over time in response to external stimuli. Complexity theory has been applied in various fields, including psychology, sociology, economics, biology, and computer science. For example, researchers have used complexity theory to study the dynamics of social networks, the emergence of cultural norms, the behavior of financial markets, and the evolution of ecosystems. Additionally, complexity theory has also been used to develop new technologies, such as self-organizing maps [of his life tasks / functions] and swarm intelligence algorithms. Complex individuals are those who exhibit complex behavior or have a complex personality. They may be difficult to understand or interpret due to their multifaceted nature. These individuals often have a rich history and have experienced many different life events that have shaped them into who they are today. They may also have a strong sense of identity and purpose, which can make it challenging for others to relate to them. In some cases, complexity may be seen as a positive attribute, while in other situations it may be viewed more negatively. Overall, complex individuals require patience, empathy, and open-mindedness from [their self AND] those around them in order to fully understand and appreciate their unique perspective on the world. There are several types of complex individuals who have made significant contributions to society and science. One such individual is Albert Einstein, whose groundbreaking work in physics revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Another example is Stephen Hawking, who challenged traditional ideas about black holes and expanded our knowledge of cosmology. Other notable figures include Leonardo da Vinci, who was a polymath known for his artistic and scientific achievements, and Nikola Tesla, who contributed to the development of alternating current electrical systems and wireless communication. These individuals were all highly intelligent and creative, but they also had unique personalities that set them apart from their peers. They each possessed a combination of traits that allowed them to excel in their respective fields, including curiosity, persistence, and a willingness to take risks. Despite facing various obstacles throughout their lives, these individuals persevered and left an indelible mark [on their self] on human history. Human beings are inherently complex creatures, with a multitude of factors contributing to their unique personalities and behaviors. Some of these factors include genetics, environment, upbringing, education, experiences, and psychological traits. Genetics play a significant role in shaping our physical and mental characteristics, including personality traits such as extroversion or introversion. Environmental factors such as childhood experiences, cultural influences, and socialization also contribute to an individual’s development, often influencing their behavior and attitudes towards life. Upbringing, education, and other forms of learning can further shape one’s perceptions and beliefs, leading to varying degrees of complexity in thought processes and decision-making abilities. Psychological traits such as neuroticism, openness, and conscientiousness can also add layers of complexity to a person’s character, affecting how they interact with others and approach challenges in life. Overall, it is clear that human beings are complex creatures, with a variety of interconnected factors contributing to their unique experiences and personalities. Complex individuals are often characterized by their multifaceted personalities and unique characteristics that defy simple categorization or labeling. They may exhibit a range of traits such as high intelligence, creativity, emotional depth, and adaptability, which allow them to thrive in diverse environments [like an old-age warehouse?] and situations. Additionally, they may possess qualities such as curiosity, empathy, and self-awareness, which enable them to engage with others on deeper levels and cultivate meaningful relationships. Furthermore, complex individuals may also demonstrate resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity, demonstrating their ability to overcome challenges and find solutions to [future self] problems. Overall, these individuals possess a rich inner life and are capable of achieving great things despite facing numerous obstacles along the way. https://www.freedomgpt.com/wiki/complex-individuals#
2024oct05 A hypothesis (pl.: hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it. Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous observations that cannot satisfactorily be explained with the available scientific theories. Even though the words "hypothesis" and "theory" are often used interchangeably, a scientific hypothesis is not the same as a scientific theory. A working hypothesis is a provisionally accepted hypothesis proposed for further research[1] in a process beginning with an educated guess or thought.[2]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothesis
2024oct05 A phenomenon (pl.: phenomena), sometimes spelled phaenomenon, is an observable event.[1] The term came into its modern philosophical usage through Immanuel Kant, who contrasted it with the noumenon, which cannot be directly observed. Kant was heavily influenced by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in this part of his philosophy, in which phenomenon and noumenon serve as interrelated technical terms. Far predating this, the ancient Greek Pyrrhonist philosopher Sextus Empiricus also used phenomenon and noumenon as interrelated technical terms. In popular usage, a phenomenon often refers to an extraordinary, unusual or notable event. According to the Dictionary of Visual Discourse:[2] “In ordinary language 'phenomenon/phenomena' refer to any occurrence worthy of note and investigation, typically an untoward or unusual event, person or fact that is of special significance or otherwise notable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenon

Harv thinks he may not have gotten in self-esteem via ‘normal’ Maslow relatedness — Harv continually sought elsewhere and still has that trait. However, Alderfer’s growth may theoretically contribute a portion of the Maslow self-esteem fulfillment that Harv may have missed from relatedness fulfillment — see diagram at https://experianta.com/directory/concepts/reshaping-the-hierarchy-of-maslow-alderfers-erg-theory/ . Through choice, Harv can use growth to enhance his self-esteem further. Recent event examples as self-actualization: (1) achieving 24/7 internet connectivity even while continuing the joys and freeing of car-living, (2) achieving quality time at Disney World McDonalds even without the use of his acquired annual pass that, (3) is intended to provide visitation to dozens of DW resorts with differing quality motifs, for example, the Wilderness Lodge, (4) varied in-park events — fireworks, et.al.
