I recently experienced an associate being
attacked [through verbal ab-use], her mani-
festing 'alarmed' behavior, and my respond-
ing by coming to her defense.
Her 'alarm' behavior 'recruited' my behavior
as is discussed in AoK, Ap8 [for those who
have AoK, go to Ap8, <page-down>, and
hit the ""repulsion" hyperlink for more con-
text than is quoted below.]
An analysis of these dynamics shows that they are futile
because they do cause TD E/I(up) to occur within the CNS of the
individual who is "attacked". Within the CNS of the
individual who is "attacked", the "attack" initiates the
creation of a TD E/I(up) constellation, that has the "aggressor"
as its evoking stimulus set. If nothing in the external
environment occurs that will permit this TD E/I(up)
constellation to be "whittled" away, it will "sit there",
gradually accumulating greater power even if no further TD
E/I(up) is inflicted upon the "attacked" individual by the
former "aggressor". Subsequently, it will tend to force the
"attacked" individual to manifest behaviors that will be
calculated to permit the "moving away from" (the elimination
of) the environmental source of the TD E/I(up) that created the
prefrontal constellation. (These dynamics often occur in a
compound ("round-about") way within groups. An "attacked"
individual manifests TD E/I(up)-generating behaviors, that are
driven by the prefrontal constellation that was created by
the TD E/I(up) experienced during the "aggression", in the
presence of the individual's familiar associates. This causes
prefrontal constellations, that are associated with the
circumstances of the "attack", to be created ("induced")
within their brains. (Their familiarity (TD E/I-minimized
states) with respect to the "attacked" individual permit them
to endure the individual's TD E/I(up)-generating behavior.)
Subsequently, these prefrontal constellations will tend to
cause these individuals to "attack" the former "aggressor" in
an effort to eliminate the original source of the TD E/I(up).
These are the dynamics which underlie the mass aggression
that occurs in war, and by which "feuds" are "handed down"
from one generation to the next.) This tends to cause the
level of "violence" to escalate because the prefrontal force
guides the by-production of behaviors which will further
elevate TD E/I within the central nervous system of the
original "aggressor". Thus, the overall situation will
"degenerate" into an "explosive" interactive state in which
abstract, internal TD E/I(up) dynamics, which have no foundation
in any absolute experiential reality, govern behavior. While
this occurs, the personal welfare of the individuals that are
involved is forsaken.
As I've discussed repeatedly in long-former posts,
this's what's going on amongst population-groups
all around the world today.
In particular, it's what's going on between the Protestants
and Catholics in Northern Ireland, the Arabs and Israelis in
the Holy Land, and, on a huge scale, between Arab and non-
Arab populations.
The "recruitment" dynamics entailed are as they've
been discussed in AoK, Ap8 all along [partially reiterated
