Part 1: Introduction to Conciliatorics

META-DISCIPLINE: A discipline (field of study) that deals with, or transcends, other disciplines.
SYSTEMICS: A meta-discipline that groups different perspectives on the study of systems.
CONCILIATORICS: A perspective within Systemics that seeks to reconcile the inventive aspect of Systemic Intervention.

BEHAVIOR DYNAMICS: A model containing one main systemic phenomenon (Behavior) and three main systemic entities (System, Member, Medium).
BEHAVIOR: The transformation of a medium by system members.
SYSTEM: An environment where interrelated members express behavior.
MEMBER: A unit that expresses behavior within a system.
MEDIUM: Components of a system transformed by its members to express their behavior.

SYSTEMIC INTERVENTION: Action performed by a member that seeks to influence the behavior of a system.
INTERVENER: Member who intervenes in a system.
INVENTIVE SYSTEMIC INTERVENTION: Exploration of a system’s medium that seeks to influence its behavior.

INVENTIVE PARCELLATION: Primary structure of inventive intervention.
INVENTIVE APPROACH: Method of inventive intervention.
INVENTIVE POSITION: Focus of inventive intervention.
CONTEMPLATION: Inventive approach with emphasis on the intervener. Relates to knowledge building and judgement.
TRANSFORMATION: Inventive approach with emphasis on the system. Relates to concrete change and performance.
INTRINSICALITY: Inventive position with emphasis on the intervenable. Relates to direct engagement and inherent properties.
INTERSTITIALITY: Inventive position with emphasis on the systemic. Relates to intangible outcomes and relational properties.
INVENTIVE PARCELS: Main configurations of inventive parcellation: Intrinsic Contemplation, Intrinsic Transformation, Interstitial Contemplation and Interstitial Transformation.

INVENTIVE EDIFICATION: Continuous and expansive development of inventive parcels.
INVENTIVE OSSIFICATION: The manifestation of dysfunctional processes in inventive edification.
INVENTIVE CONCILIATION: The restoration of functional processes in inventive edification.
PARCELS COUNCIL: A structured method for facilitating conciliation.

ATTRIBUTE: Specific quality of a system, member or a medium. In this framework, an attribute is not merely a passive trait but a dynamic component that interacts with behavior, structure, and purpose.
ATTRIBUTES DYNAMICS: An EIC model designed to promote analytical exploration and integration of attributes.
ATTRIBUTES REGULATION: EIC step that provides the rule set for the attributes structure and status exploration.
ATTRIBUTES STRUCTURE: EIC step that explores the interstitial anatomy components of Behavior Dynamics.
ATTRIBUTES STATUS: EIC step that studies the interstitial physiology processes of Behavior Dynamics.
ATTRIBUTES SYNTHESIS: EIC step that integrates the exploration of attributes structure and status.

ATTRIBUTE POSITION: Focus of systemic attributes. The two main attributes positions are intrinsic attributes and interstitial attributes.
SYSTEMIC JURISDICTION: The bounded environment that contains Conciliatorics components.
ATTRIBUTE JURISDICTION: The bounded environment that contains Attributes Dynamics components.
JURISDICTIONAL OVERREACH: The process by which one jurisdiction breaks boundaries to exert control over others.
JURISDICTIONAL DIFFERENTIATION: The process and systemic state in which boundaries are maintained. The jurisdiction is aware of its distinct role while cultivating healthy interactions—this promotes systemic diplomacy.
JURISDICTIONAL DISSOCIATION: The process and systemic state in which boundaries fracture. The jurisdiction isolates itself, forming a systemic silo.
JURISDICTIONAL DISSOLUTION: The process and systemic state in which boundaries merge. The jurisdiction fuses into others, forming a systemic amalgam.
PRIMARY JURISDICTION: The initial environment of attribute pairs within Attributes Dynamics.

ATTRIBUTE ACCENTUATION: Temporary focus on one member of an attribute pair.
STRUCTURE QUADRANT: Concatenation of two attribute accentuations, creating a potential interstitial state.
INTERSTITIAL ANATOMY: Set of concrete interstitial actions, composed of structure quadrants accentuations.

ANATOMY TERMS	Potential State	Concrete Action	General Context Term
To Discern	Discernibility	Discernment	Interstitial Discernment
To Observe	Observability	Observation	Interstitial Observation
To Resolve	Resolutivity	Resolution	Interstitial Resolution
To Operate	Operativity	Operation	Interstitial Operation

BOUNDED DISCERNMENT/OBSERVATION: Quadrant depending on member’s perspective.
NON-BOUNDED DISCERNMENT/OBSERVATION: Quadrant detached from member’s presence.
COMPASS: Original name for Operation quadrant.

ATTRIBUTE CONCATENATION: Crossed interaction between attribute pairs from the primary jurisdiction.
STATUS DICHOTOMIES: Concatenation between reinforcing and canceling attribute pairs.
INTERSTITIAL LONGING: Survival and performance drive.
INTERSTITIAL PHYSIOLOGY: Set of interactions between interstitial longings and status dichotomies.

ORGANIC PHYSIOLOGY: Interaction between “perdurability longing” and “imperdurability / perdurability dichotomy”.
INSTRUMENTAL PHYSIOLOGY: Interaction between “functionality longing” and “functional / dysfunctional dichotomy”.
MIXED PHYSIOLOGY: Simultaneous interaction between both interstitial longings and status dichotomies.

INCOMPATIBILITY AXIOM: Functionality and Perdurability are not compatible in a mixed physiology system.
STATUS DECAY: Interstitial process of physiological deterioration.

ORGANIC SYNTHESIS: Modulation of interstitial anatomy by organic physiology.
INSTRUMENTAL SYNTHESIS: Modulation of interstitial anatomy by instrumental physiology.
MIXED SYNTHESIS: Modulation of interstitial anatomy by mixed physiology.

UNIFICATION SYNTHESIS: Modulation of interstitial anatomy by perdurable dysfunctionality physiology.
CONCILIATION SYNTHESIS: Modulation of interstitial anatomy by imperdurable functionality physiology.
CONCILIATION PATHWAY: Iterated Imperdurable Functionality.
STATUS RECIPROCITY: Correlation between attribute position and attribute disposition, influenced by mixed synthesis.
