One Key for Five Doors
The key that opens almost all doors is the scale of Levels.
In education, this scale shows the optimal order for studying any subject:
begin with tasks of the first level, then move to tasks of the second level, and so on up to the eighth.
In psychology, we distinguish three domains:
- general psychology - how we all solve tasks;
- differential psychology - how the process of solving tasks differs from one person to another;
- developmental psychology - how a person changes with age.
According to our observations, every three years a new next level opens before a growing person as a possibility.
In differential psychology, Levels work together with two other models: Encodings and Warming-Up.
In history, we look at sets of levels, or patterns.
If we take levels one by one, we get epochs.
If we take two neighboring levels at a time, we get political regimes of the European type.
If we take three neighboring levels at a time, we get economic formations.
If we take four levels at a time, we get types of social behavior or styles. Here there are seven variants: five sets of four consecutive levels, plus all even levels, plus all odd levels.
Art movements have more complex sets of levels. This makes it possible, for example, to distinguish classicism from baroque on one side and from romanticism on the other.
In philosophy, the scale of Levels applies through four-sided human activity.
Thinking, co-knowledge, behavior, and interaction look different at each level. This is the philosophical way of considering the matter.
Finally, in everyday life, we need to learn how to make a Person Passport, a Task Passport, and a Community Passport in order to foresee the future and optimize the present.
Thus one scale opens five doors:
- education;
- psychology;
- history;
- philosophy;
- everyday life.
The full unfolding of this topic begins with the model of Levels.
