Ti, structural logic (calculation of laws)
Keywords: ordering, unification, systematization, analyticity, impartiality, measurement systems, benchmarks, standards, types, tables, maps, catalogs, statistics, axioms, laws, paradigm, worldview
Definitions:
Ti (in general): Measurement and control of the global space in which universal laws operate
Base Ti: Aspiration and ability to create a single stable picture of the world for the sake of understanding and constant control of the general logic of what is happening
Creative Ti: Aspiration and ability to escape from the influence of the system of complex social contracts into a âwildâ, uncultured state, in which the universal laws of the world are better and more clearly realized and more strongly influence the logic of what is happening
Typical trait components of the Ti function:
Ti + Logic = Interest in logic and mathematics, reliance in thinking on a formalized analysis of what is happening
Ti + Ascending = Gnosticism - belief in the cognizability of the world, search for one objective truth, in order to later remake the world according to it
Ti + Introversion = Inability to personally influence people and make new social contacts
Ti + Rationality = Tediousness - puts everything âin its placeâ and demands the same from others; rigidity - meticulously adheres to an established order
Ti + Statics = Strives to be aware of the truth, no matter how unpleasant it may be for them personally
Atypical trait components of Ti:
Ti + Ethics = Principledness, dominance of ideological motives over economic ones
Ti + Descending = Emotional restraint, coldness
Ti + Extroversion = Grand scale in planning, likes to take on difficult tasks
Ti + Irrationality = Asociality - indifferent to people, easily does without their company
Ti + Dynamics = Inattentiveness to people, including close ones
Typical manifestations of combining Ti with other functions:
Sum of two functions:
Ti + Te = Builds algorithms (logical sequences) and adheres to a planned order of actions (LII+LSI+LIE+LSE)
Ti + Fe = Search for universal, single truth for all, ideologically indoctrinated (LII+LSI+ESE+EIE)
Ti + Fi = Durability of desires and drives (LII + LSI + ESI + EII)
Ti + Ne = Abstract thinking, possesses a logically integral worldview
Ti + Se = Rigidity, harshness in imposing one's logic, one's worldview on others
Ti + Ni = Distancing from people, sensory anhedonia, escapism
Ti + Si = Honesty, straightforwardness, inability to intrigue
Ti + Qi = Principledness, will not do anything that contradicts their principles
Ti + Di = Likes rigid unchanging structures, ready to be their obedient part in service of the whole
Ti + Qe = Confidence in their own rightness
Ti + De = Ability to teach
Sum of three functions:
Ti + Se + Qi = Stubbornness in defending one's position
Ti + Se + Di = Love of forceful order and subordination
Ti + Ne + Qi = Search for global justice
Ti + Ne + Di = Disregard for appearances, control of urges, ideological asceticism
Difference of functions:
Ti - Fi = Sees innate typological features in everything, ignoring personal characteristics acquired through life; âethical blindnessâ - weakness in understanding individual biases and logical flaws that influence others' behavior (LII + LSI + ILE + SLE)
Ti - Fe = Self-sufficiency, closed off from external influences (LII + LSI + ILI + SLI)
Ti - Te = Fundamental rather than applied logic - adherence to rules is more important than efficiency of actions; inability and unwillingness to disperse attention on multiple goals (LII+LSI+SEI+IEI)
Ti - Ne = Inability and unwillingness to deviate from the usual order of action and rearrange plans on the fly.
Ti - Se = Inability and unwillingness to manipulate people for their own benefit
Ti - Ni = Inability and unwillingness to change and adapt
Ti - Si = Inability and unwillingness to smooth things over
Ti - Qe = Inability and unwillingness to advertise oneself
Ti - De = Inability and unwillingness to get closer with people
Ti - Qi = Imperial, statist ideology - believes that for the sake of state interests any (including their own) individuality can be suppressed
Ti - Di = Democratic ideology - believes that everyone's rights and freedoms should be legally protected
========
Conclusions:
Any organism in the wild is subject to the pressure of natural selection. If a particular individual is not intelligent enough to understand the laws of nature and arm itself with this understanding - thus becoming stronger and more stable in the face of competition - its chances of survival decrease.
The pressure of natural selection on individuals and their small groups decreases when and if they exist within a larger society (as all civilized humanity lives today). At the local level of a large society, its members can agree on anything and consider anything to be true, so long as it is convenient for them - because they live inside a social organism, under its protection from the external, âwildâ natural environment. However, at the global level, the social organism as a whole continues to experience the pressure of the external environment, its natural selection. If those who govern society are guided in their decisions by objectively false assumptions (for example, local agreements that are in fact only convenient and pleasant illusions for a narrow circle of people), then the entire system as a single functional whole will still be eliminated by natural selection.
It is precisely the function of Ti that always serves as the guiding element in a group, setting and maintaining the architecture of the system at the global level - where it comes into contact with the external environment. Ti is alien to sympathy for those who, due to their stupidity or weakness, i.e., low capacity to resist natural selection, nevertheless seek to lead and thereby jeopardize the survival of society as a whole. Pure Ti is also alien to political correctness, humanism and other ideas that justify genetic and cultural drift, shifting the genotype and culture of a population toward reducing its global viability.
Introverted (base) Ti is characterized by the desire to calculate the real laws of the universe and society that are important for survival at the level of complexity that society has reached, in order to maintain the architecture of society adequate to these laws. If society is large and complex, then understanding the laws driving it requires a developed apparatus for collecting, recording, and analyzing statistics brought into a single format, and a developed base Ti ensures this collection, recording, and analysis.
Extraverted (creative) Ti acts as an antisocial agent, always striving to return to the wild natural environment, in which it has an advantage due to a better understanding of its laws. In the process, creative Ti either escapes from a complex society and establishes a new one from scratch, or plunges the existing society into wars and revolutions, thereby destroying all local structures that arose in the absence of natural selection and therefore are in fact only parasitic outgrowths on the global structure resisting the external environment.
Thus, the active role of Ti is the restoration of strong natural selection pressure on the population in one way or another, while its passive role is the maintenance of structures that give the population an advantage under conditions of strong natural selection (that is, in conditions dominated by universal laws that spare neither those who cannot nor those who will not recognize them).
Summarizing all of the above, the author concludes that the Ti function, from a biosocial point of view, can be defined as a complex of individual traits evolutionarily linked with STRONG NATURAL SELECTION.
The only difference that so sharply divides white logicians of the first and second quadras in their worldview lies in what is by default considered the main threat to society - wild nature or the military power of neighboring societies. Accordingly, Ti of the first quadra tries to restructure society to increase its chances of survival in ecological crises and natural disasters, while Ti of the second quadra creates a society with the highest chances of winning in war and preventing revolution (and, as it turns out, these two social architectures not only have nothing in common, but are antagonistic to each other, since they stimulate directly opposite qualities in the ordinary members of society).
