Toolbox series. Self-help manual. Explanation of a cognitive complexity principle. It differentiates cognitive activity upon data quantity and capability to process it. It is the underlying essence for methods alike "5 why". The principle can be packaged in various other methods. Its main differentiation is suitability for stacking, that can result in quick and efficient complex problem resolution.

2. Domains Of
Value Placement

3. this represents a basic
value domain

4. situation

5. is a fact

6. facts build up our life

7. fact

8. fact

9. facts tell what is available
to you to stay alive

10. facts & situations shape
a distinct mind set

11. it is usually enough
for a happy existence

12. a black day comes…
UNTIL

13. …you want something else

15. handle this problem
living creatures
are designed to

17. this creates the next layer
and value domain

18. process

19. represents skills

20. it shapes a new kind of mind
and respective values

21. it is usually enough
for a happy life

22. a black day comes…
UNTIL

23. …you can’t get what you want

24. can handle
this problem
some people

26. a black day comes…
UNTIL AGAIN

28. …and again

30. Systems That Utilize
Those Value Domains

31. professional

32. corporate

33. social

34. The Values Model

35. basis variable
1st derivation
2nd derivation
3rd derivation
4th derivation

36. - =
A practical way to
obtain derivations
time
t1 t2

37. every
derivation characterizes a process
that changes its variable
shrinking

38. lower level derivation is a variable
for the derivation of higher level
2
- =
time
t1 t2

39. to obtain meaningful results
big underlying data sets are required
data shrinks towards the top

40. Cognition Constrains

41. it seems, for any particular subject
people anchor their basic life values
in one of the value domains

42. the values are starting points
for any rationalization and judgment.
the values are dogmatic axioms

43. opinions on subject matter
in other domains are derived
by means of different skills aka tools

44. Let’s assume
a plant manager has
a talent in controlling processes
(values and thus expertise in the domain)

45. the person is in a position that
the underlying values
are not the primary concern
and have to be empathically imagined
that takes a toll on accuracy

46. the same issue appears everywhere
the values above
are lacking accuracy

47. The greater distance
from the basis values,
the more complex tools
are required

48. the greater distance,
the greater inaccuracy

49. …until the views are
completely out of sync
with reality

50. even the strongest tools can’t keep up
with the exponential growth of complexity

51. basis value
cognitive
horizon
value layers
cognitive resource
