Part One develops the innovations of conventional mechanism from which, successively, the techniques of "function," "choice," "goal-seeking," and "purposefulness" are derived, resulting in a quantitative formula of "personality". half offers an research of elements of practical habit and character, and half 3 explores the interplay of useful platforms. half 4 is worried with the learn of social teams and ideal-seeking habit. ultimately, structural innovations underpinning the theoretical method are redefined in technological phrases, therefore demonstrating the non-vicious circularity and interdependence of all clinical concepts.
