(thinking again)

Complexity from simplicity. We are very poor at multivariate visualization. We can pursue a rabbit, or follow the flight of an arrow, but when it comes to multiple axis, we are pretty bad at it.

Our emotions appear to be limited to small number of axis, but out of this small number arises an enormous variety of experiences.

I know these four exist – the only novelty I’ve added is information processing bias.

1 – Predatory/Dominance/Skeptical-Agreeable/Submissive/Fearful

2 – Hyperactive/Excitable/impulsive-calm/Patient/slothful

3 – Autistic/Analytic – Empathic/Solipsistic (information processing)

4 – Agony/Pain/discomfort-pleasing/Pleasure/Joy

If I work at it I have a hunch that all subsequent models can be described as the effect of multiple agents in the brain provoking these from each person’s ‘steady state’.

The big five can be explained as provoking these four.Why? Because I want to test the theory that these are informaiton processing problems. Make sense? Yes it does. 😉 As such they can be explained as information rather than experience. So that’s why I”m working on it.

THE BIG FIVE

Extroversion-introversion

Solipsistic/empathy – analyltic/autistic

Experience(curious) – Familiarity(cautious)

Impulsivity- Patience

Confidence/Secure – Sensitive/nervous/Fearfulness

RATIONALIZING….

Neuroticism: negatively correlated with ratio of brain volume to remainder of intracranial volume, reduced volume in dorsomedial PFC and a segment of left medial temporal lobe, including posterior hippocampus, increased volume in the mid-cingulate gyrus.

Extraversion: positively correlated with orbitofrontal cortex metabolism, increased cerebral volume of medial orbitofrontal cortex.

Agreeableness: negatively correlated with left orbitofrontal lobe volume in frontotemporal dementia patients, reduced volume in posterior left superior temporal sulcus, increased volume in posterior cingulate cortex.

Conscientiousness: increased volume of middle frontal gyrus in left lateral PFC.

Openness to experience: no regions large enough to be significant, although parietal cortex may be involved.
