Difference between Psychosophy and Temporistics

People familiar with Psychosophy (Psycheyoga) by A. Afanasyev will notice that the functions of Psychosophy and the aspects of Temporistics are largely analogous to each other. This is not a coincidence; as mentioned earlier, Temporistics itself emerged from the fusion of A. Afanasyev's model with the categories of time. It is possible that Afanasyev's model, where the first function is expressed excessively, the second normatively, the third inadequately, and the fourth insignificantly, is sufficiently universal. It is possible that much in psychology and human behavior can be described by such "tetrads" (sets of four). The possibility of further exploration and application of the model opened by A. Afanasyev appears endlessly intriguing and promising unexpected perspectives. However, when studying Temporistics, it is important to remember that the aspects of perception (vision) manifest somewhat differently from the functions of Psychosophy, although they share many common feature.

What differences can be highlighted?

1. Space — Time

Psychosophy functions delve into space; Physics, Logic, Will, and Emotion are direct 'horizontal' ways for individuals to impact the world. In contrast, Temporistics aspects revolve around time. Past, Future, Present, and Eternity are ways for individuals to penetrate the 'vertical reality.'

2. Connections between different functions

The connection between Physics, Logic, Will, and Emotions is weak, meaning relationships between Physics and Logic or Will and Emotions are either unstructured or structurally unclear. In Temporistics, Eternity is contrasted with the Present, and the Future opposes the Past.

3. Harmonization

The manifestation of aspects is a more flexible entity; it can be consciously altered more easily compared to functions, which predominantly operate instinctively. Aspects' work is more variable. For the same reason, relationships between 1–3 and 2–4 are not as painful and acute as in Psychosophy.
