Static and dynamic

From Wikisocion

Static / Dynamic is one of the 15 Reinin dichotomies. Statics focus on properties and structures of things. Dynamics focus on movements and interactions of things. This is a general characteristic, however, and a person will display static or dynamic perception at any given moment depending on which IM element is in use.

[edit] Static and dynamic types

• Static IM types are : ILE, LII, LSI, SLE, SEE, ESI, EII, IEE.

• Dynamic IM types are : SEI, ESE, EIE, IEI, ILI, LIE, LSE, SLI.

• Using the four-letter code: statics are EP or IJ, and dynamics are EJ or IP.

[edit] Theoretical properties of statics and dynamics

• Static IM types contain static IM elements in their mental ring (functions 1 through 4), and dynamic elements in the vital ring (5 through 8). This means that they tend to verbalize things from a static standpoint, while their behavior is more influenced by dynamic aspects.
• Dynamic IM types contain dynamic IM elements in their mental ring, and static element in the vital ring. They tend to verbalize things from a dynamic standpoint, while their behavior is more influenced by static aspects.

According to definitions from Aushra Augusta, static elements capture "snapshots" of reality, while dynamic elements track events in process. Static aspects of reality tend to remain more or less fixed over a significant period of time, while dynamic aspects are changeable and constantly evolving. Here are some rough descriptions of how the perception of static and dynamic IM elements compare to each other:

•     (static) perceives outward sensory data projected by objects. Unless objects change their appearance significantly, the     impression will not change.
•     (dynamic) perceives internal reactions to sensory data. Each perception of the same thing can be different depending on the observer's changing internal state.

•     (static) perceives inherent potential in objects. Objects don't tend to change their nature much over time, though new circumstances can reveal hitherto unnoticed aspects of that potentiality.
•     (dynamic) perceives internal reactions to external potentiality. Today the possibilities might seem inviting and favorable, but tomorrow they might produce a sense of foreboding or despondency.

•     (static) perceives logical interrelations between objects, which by definition belong to a certain class or location, unless the point of reference is changed.
•     (dynamic) perceives what those objects are doing and what is being done with them. One and the same object can be used effectively or ineffectively.

•     (static) perceives connections of a subjective, emotional nature that exist between objects. These feelings arise gradually and change little until a significant disruption occurs.
•     (dynamic) perceives how objects are interacting on an emotional level. One and the same object can interact very different with a stable set of other objects depending on a variety of factors.

[edit] Typical characteristics of statics

1. More inclined to say how stages A, B and C are
2. More inclined to talk of properties and structures of reality
3. Perception of reality is more like 8 frames per second (Talanov)

[edit] Typical characteristics of dynamics

1. More inclined to say how stage A leads to stage B, and how stage B leads to stage C
2. More inclined to talk of movements and interactions of reality
3. Perception of reality is more like 64 frames per second (Talanov)
