Inverse Compartmentalisation
It could be said, that clarity and transparency is the enemy of fraudulent, incongruent, and imbalanced organisations, and that inverse compartmentalisation is their favourite tool to achieve the opposite.

Microaggression and Microtrauma
In life, a constant stream of microaggressions – of disagreements, and being corrected, told to change our thinking or behaviour –Â tend to cause microtraumas, which, ultimately are micro-rejections of the individuals true self.

The Inner-Supporter to Inner-Critic Transition
Within parts working, there is the concept of the inner-critic. This is the source of internal self-criticism, and often seen as a source of depression and a pessimistic outlook.

DNA-Self Theory: The Bloch Sphere and our Genetic NOT Decisions
The Bloch sphere emerged from quantum mechanics of spin-1/2 particles (two-level systems like qubits or nuclear spins) in magnetic fields, generalizing classical spin precession to quantum superpositions.

Ghosts as Externalised Projections
Jung’s use of the terms “unconscious projections” and “exteriorisations” aligned with his developing theory of autonomous complexes, he said that these were psychological contents that can manifest with apparent independence from conscious control.

Theory of Autonomous Complexes
Jung developed his theory of autonomous complexes in 1908, through word association experiments at the Burghölzli psychiatric clinic in Zurich. By measuring subjects’ reaction times to stimulus words and noting hesitations, slips, and emotional reactions, Jung discovered patterns suggesting emotionally-charged “hot spots” in the unconscious.

The Dual-Mask Model and Transactional Analysis
The dual-mask system, part of the Theory of the DNA-Self could also explain the concept of life positions, as described in transactional analysis.
