Introduction
The eight
information aspects
form a category that is unique to socionics.
Augusta
, influenced by
Antoni Kempinski
's theory of information metabolism, concluded that the information that enters the psyche can be divided into different kinds, just as
Jung
divided psychic
functions
into different kinds.
Information aspects
represent an attempt to divide information into 8 different kinds. While this concept has not been thoroughly developed in socionics, this kind of division may be of interest to
information theory
and other theoretical fields such as
memetics
.
The eight information aspects are denoted by the following symbols:
Ne -
Ni -
Se -
Si -
Te -
Ti -
Fe -
Fi -
What information the aspects convey
The following is a fairly conservative, mainstream interpretation of the information aspects
Ne
: Information about the innate, internal, constant properties of objects, the sources of these properties, and the potential that they contain.
Ni
: Information about how something dynamically changes over time.
Se
: Information about spatial territory, ownership, and influence.
Si
: Information about how something dynamically relates and adjusts to its spatial environment.
Te
: Information about technical processes, efficient activity, and the use of resources.
Ti
: Information about structural relationships between components and logical dependencies between states of affairs.
Fe
: Information about states of excitation and how they are communicated.
Fi
: Information about attraction and repulsion between objects as well as personal dependencies.
Aushra Augusta's
concept of information aspects
(
this section will contain a discussion of her work on the subject
)
Confusion with
IM elements
Though they are denoted by the same symbols, information aspects are not to be confused with
elements of information metabolism
, or "IM elements."
IM elements
are the psychic modules that perceive, process, and produce corresponding information aspects.
Whether the information aspects can be referred to using the same names as the
IM elements
(i.e. "extraverted sensing," "introverted logic") is debatable.
Properties of information aspects
Information aspects possess structural properties:
Statics
Things at rest
Dynamics
Things at motion
Bodies
Things as independent of any subject
Fields
Things as dependent of subject - i.e. ties between bodies
External
Explicit, directly sensible content of reality
Internal
Implicit, indirectly percievable content of reality
Irrational
Rational
The categories of
static/dynamic
and
body/field
came from
Augusta
, and
external/internal
was suggested by another early author. However, this last
dichotomy
is criticized by some socionists for its lack of meaningful content. The
rational/irrational
dichotomy comes from
Jung's typology
.
