On Core Aspects of Socion:
Science of Verbalization and Dichotomization Brief History of the Socion Socionics, also known as Social Bionics, is a science about the Socion, which is the socionic nature of man and its structure of society about different types of people Informational Metabolism and also different forms of people interrelations; it was invented by Augusta Aushra upon four different premises: "first function" (also known as the primary type) by Carl G. Jung (Psychological Types, 1927), "Information Metabolism" by Antoni Kepinski (Melancholy, 1974), “place of least resistance” (locus minoris resistentiae) by A.E. Lichkov (Psychopathies and character accentuations in adolescents, 2010) and "The Theory of Temperaments" by Ernst Krestchmer (Physique and Character, p. 251-263). Thus, using these aforementioned premises, Aushra then later describes Socionics as the "exact science" to demonstrate the basis of human perception and thinking according to the Aristotelian logics of laws of physics and was intended to verify that the sixteen ways of perceiving the world and adapting to it exist since as it happened in the study of specific ways of thinking that Jung's theories only ended up being revised and deepened. Aushra pointed out that these premises can be applied to reality. Socion and Its First Function Each of individual perception is seen according to its abstract and concrete forms of reality. While the former appears to be absent-minded or rather detached, mostly described as those who "remember nothing" and therefore "don't see anything", while the latter happens to perceive the specific details of reality yet dismisses something that they perceive as "abstract". This is mostly happened due to the fact that the former receives the information of concrete world not for the verbal transmission, but rather the specific practical use that is sufficient for themselves, as they deeply and consciously verbalize the transmitted information about the abstract aspect of reality, giving an impression that they are scattered but also absent-minded. This is what people have known as abstract thinkers (intuitive); it is mainly distinguished by the slowness of thinking, as they require a lot of information to figure which is which or what is what in terms of matters, while the latter impress at the first glance with their quick-orientation towards given information: the former is characterized by their strategic approach, while the latter is tactical. Thus, this concept of abstract and concrete thinking then later was developed into the dyad of schizotymes and cyclothymes, which describes Socion as not only the sum of sixteen different intellects but also a system of their interaction. In other words, these are not only sixteen specific intellects, but also sixteen completely different relationships of each person with everything. Socion Perception of Body and Relationships:
1. Perception of the appearance and shapes of objects (Se).
2. Perception of the internal content and structure of objects (Ne).
3. Perception of the objects movement in space (Te).
4. Perception of the changes taking place in objects (Fe).
5. Perception of the internal situation of the object (Si).
6. Perception of time relation to an object (Ni).
7. Perception of a place in the space of an object (Ti).
8. Perception of attraction-repulsion of an object (Fi).
Revision on Informational Metabolism According to Antoni Kępiński, using the point of view of biology, mental experiences are divided into pleasant and unpleasant ones. The former is related to the satisfaction of the organism’s basic needs, while the latter is related to the dissatisfactory of those needs. He then links these two fundamental attitudes to these rules that a subject adopts in relation to the environment called the indicative attitudes: “from” and “towards”. The “from” attitude is typical of the first biological rule, where the subject acts on a basis of “I’ll destroy you or "I shall be destroyed”, and it mainly encompasses situations when a subject satisfies the life’s needs or avoids threats. The “towards” attitude is related to the second biological rule, it defines the relation of closeness and establishing interpersonal contacts. However, Jan Ceklar later said that the concept of informational metabolism doesn't include biological model. In individual parts, Kępiński put an emphasis on various aspects of information metabolism, that is the meaning of emotions, symbols and the dominance of “towards” attitude. While presenting his concept of information metabolism, the reference to the cellular model, shown as a holistic structure presenting mental processes, is nowhere to be found. Therefore, one cannot accept the assumption that the author during the formulation of the foundations of his concepts was structuring the way of thinking about the exchange of information between an individual and the environment in an analogy to the biology of cells.
