Systems Net Theory basic ideas
Systems Net Theory basic ideas

• Distinction between two types of biological
  systems
• General, functional, horizontal
• Specific, structural, pentafactorial, vertical
• Distinction between two types of general systems
• Three temperamental systems, oriented to survival
  (in humans and animals)
• Two self-regulation and integration systems
  (exclusive to homo sapiens)
• Distinction between the nature and the function
  of traits
• Identification of traits from theoretical
  prediction
• Conceptualizing dimensions as a result of the
  reactivity of biological systems
• Conceptualizing primary traits as a result of the
  interaction of a general system and an specific
  one

Typology of the big general and functional systems
Three temperamental systems, oriented to survival, in humans and animals (S-O-R systems) . Inhibition or self-preservation system (ANXIETY) . Rapid action system (HOSTILITY) . Approach system (EXTRAVERSION) Two human, self-regulatory and adaptive systems . Self-regulation and execution system (SELF-CONTROL) . Cognitive integration system (INTELLECT)
