Welcome to Human Threshold Systems:
An Interdisciplinary Journal of Cognitive Proximetry.
Our scope is those threshold systems found in the humanites and social sciences,particularly
new developments in the psychologies of Clare Graves and C. G. Jung,and application
of those developments.
Threshold systems are those where a significant developmental change occurs after
a quality increases or decreases to a threshold level. These include developmental
changes in individuals, in social groupings, in cultures and in societies.
Cognitive Proximetry is the geometry of interacting cognitive processes that trigger
threshold events when in proximity to each other. Interacting cognitive processes
as simple as conversation, or as complex as the media and the internet have the potential
to thrust individuals and societies over the threshold into a new and challenging(or
older and less threatening) world view.
We accept academic articles, narratives, and teaching tools that contribute to the
overview of Threshold Systems in:
basic human threshold theory,
developmental psychology,
arts & literature,
religion,
business and economics,
sociology and cultural anthropology,
natural sciences and human ecology,
health,
history and politics, and
current events and popular culture.
If you are new to the topic of Human Threshold Systems, or have only read or heard
small bits and pieces, the best place to start is at the beginning, It is, after
all, a cumulative construct -- each idea building on those that came before. We suggest
you start in our General Overview section -- with the Introduction to Graves & Jung Model
