Ah, yes, the warlike analysis of the teen years of societies. That is
warlike.
OK, Thanks, I'll fill in the rest, now. Such interesting perspectives.
Would I enjoy Schoen's work as much as yours?

2. South, the place of student analysis and the practice of virtuosity.
3. West, Performance in Professional adult and family life.
4. North, In Native life this is the time of the Master teacher known
under the rubric "Elder". The same process is elucidated in Donald
Schoen's book "Reflection in Action" where he got the processes from
non-Indian Master Artists who practice the same processes. I gave
lectures on this two years running at Columbia Univ. on this subject
(1980s) for Doctoral candidates at Teacher's College. In the
second year I drew the connection to Native pedagogies and the
Indigenous candidates supported my contention in the discussions.
They knew about this as well.
Note that there are five to seven layers of this four part process
each time becoming more holistically singular until at the end, all of
the processes becomes a singularity.
Figure 2 is the place of the advanced student. They are not
specialists yet but are studying a specialty, deconstructing and
practicing it to bring it to an advanced generic performance level.
The figure shows the complexity of the path as a result of the
fragmentation of both information and the fragmenting of the seven
perceptual systems. Life becomes an awareness of the complexity of
the world and the pursuit of competence in diminishing that complexity
through advanced, high level generic knowledge. Yes the South in
the evolution of societies is as warlike as adolescence is in many
young people's lives for the same systematic reasons.
Thanks for spending the time.

OK, I've read this through a couple of times. With respect to phase 3
and 4, please don't leave anything up to /my/ imagination.
On figure 2, where would you suggest the writer falls in, or the
philosopher, neither of whom tend to make clear cut paths to
competence and mastery?
Analysis warlike? Could you take us a little further into your
perspective? Though challenging, I really enjoy it, though perhaps I
wouldn't if I didn't have the time and luxury to pick and choose what
I analyze. I can see how time constraints could put a damper on the
process.
Thanks,
Natalia
