CHAPTER 15 - Power Relationships v2.0

 

15.1 - A relationship is a framework for communication between two objects or among more than two objects. (Definition)

15.2 - All modes of communication exist in this Universe and therefore all modes of communication are composed of energy. (Construction)

15.3 - Influence is a communication of energy between two objects or among more than two objects. (Definition)

15.4 - Entities in a relationship influence each other. (Construction)

a) Entities can influence each other equally. (Construction)

b) Entities can influence each other unequally. (Construction)

15.5 - Contexts are composed of energy. (Construction)

15.6 - Influence can express itself as a transfer of contexts. (Construction)

15.7 - Power is the capacity for and measure of energy transfer.  (Definition)

15.8 - The object with greater influence in a relationship has a position of greater power in that relationship. (Definition)

15.9 - A pathway is a circuit along which communication occurs. Pathways within a relationship consist of dimensions shared between or among objects. (Definition)

15.10 - Entities with different Points of View share fewer dimensions than entities with identical or similar Points of View. (Construction)

a) Entities with different Points of View share fewer pathways of communication. (Construction)

15.11 - Entities with different Points of View influence each other less than entities with identical or similar Points of View. (Construction)

 

Relationships exist in this Universe. Therefore, like all other entities in this Universe, they are composed of energy and are ruled by the same laws, discovered and undiscovered, that govern energy.

Simply put, if A and B are in a relationship, and if A has greater influence than B in that relationship, then A has more power in that relationship. Power is a measure of energy transfer, where energy is the substance that produces or prevents motion, or has a tendency to do so.

Power relationships can be described in terms of Point Of View (POV) relationships. Communication is greater when two objects have identical or similar Points of View because they share common contextual filters and therefore they share the same dimensions those filters allow. Every shared dimension is a pathway for communication.
