Social Plasticity
Where Every Boundary is a Bridge.
Fusion of Others into Self
Social Plasticity
Essence: low-threshold engagement across people, tasks, and contexts, serving easy exchange and affiliation.
People, environments, and resources are approached without the filtering reflex that creates distance in others, with switching between contexts happening fluidly and at little cost. A natural pull toward exchange and informal contact makes for an easy intermediary, and friction, disorder, and others' moods are absorbed without strain.
Manifests as vivacious, gregarious, and quick-connecting behavior.
Acceptance a high tolerance for whatever and whoever comes along
Horizontal Individualism relations among free equals, open to the new
Extraversion easy, energetic sociability across many things at once
Cognitive Level: fast social calibration, fluid task-switching
Social Level: informal rapport-building, transactional deal-making, humor as connector
Psychological Level: low disgust/self-consciousness, ease with unfamiliar company
Biological Level: fast motor relearning, high physical energy
Suppressed: social stiffness, formality.
Healthy: easy rapport, fluid networking.
Strained: superficial overextension, boundary blurring.
Extreme manifestations: compulsive sociability, indiscriminate trust, loss of privacy, opportunistic dealing.
Meets everyone in a bright mood.
Optimism colors every contact, most people are liked and trusted, and work and company flow together easily.
Lets people in while judging them plainly.
Others are let in without fuss, yet flaws are noticed and outcomes expected to go badly, so ease with people never means agreement.
Lets things in without reaching out.
Even dark moods in others are borne calmly and anyone is dealt with as an equal, while details and facts are gathered and checked at length.
Moves lightly among contacts and deals.
Several tasks and contacts are handled at once, exchange and enterprise come naturally, and life is kept easy and open.
