The Plus Functions

Characteristics of the "plus" function:

Level of Detail: Detailing
Area of Equivalence: Specificity
Scale of Consideration: Large
Distance of Consideration: Proximity
Direction: "Toward oneself"
Positivism: Convergence (Bonding), Achievement of Success

The "Plus" function perceives information in a complex and detailed manner. it distinguishes subtle nuances and pays close attention to minor differences between signals. It operates as if "zooming in" on the object.

The meaning of what is perceived depends heavily on small details. If you change even one detail, the entire meaning shifts.

The function is oriented toward attraction—the urge to obtain, acquire, or bring something closer.

It is "contagious": the recipient naturally enters the speaker's state. Joy that spreads to others is "positive" in this sense, but so is sadness if others are "infected" by it. Even anger can be positive if the crowd gets fired up together.

Example: The Landscape Photograph

Imagine a photo of a landscape. The "plus" gaze sees: "On the brown bark of the oak, traces of bark beetles are visible; the leaves shimmer with three shades of green; a beetle with a striped shell sits on the lower branch." This is a "close-up"—a detailed examination where every detail matters. If you change one element, the meaning changes. "This is a mature oak on a sunny day" becomes a completely different statement if you replace the oak with a birch.

Example: $T i$ + (Beta Quadra) — Group Logic

Group logic relies on rules subordinated to the hierarchy of a specific group. The right to speak must be earned. The prevailing question here is: "Who are you to tell us this? What have you achieved?" If a newcomer without a name or status arrives and starts contradicting the leader, they will simply be shut down or "trolled." In such a society, the right to a voice is a privilege you work for. This isn't difficult if you already possess credentials—you simply need to make them known.
