Examples of Environmental Influences on Identity:

  1. Social Environment: • Changes in social dynamics, such as new friendships, evolving relationships, or social media trends, are picked up by System 4 and assessed in relation to the individual’s attitudes, philosophies, and identity. • If the individual values emotional intelligence or connection, System 4 might inform System 3 to reallocate resources to foster relationships or invest more energy in social interactions.
  2. Professional Environment: • New career opportunities or challenges in the professional environment are assessed by System 4, which looks for ways to ensure the individual’s work aligns with their identity (e.g., the need for understanding or freedom). • If the environment becomes toxic or misaligned with the person’s identity, System 4 might inform System 5 to re-evaluate career direction.
  3. Cultural Environment: • Cultural shifts and societal changes are scanned by System 4. For instance, if there’s a cultural shift toward sustainability and the person’s identity aligns with environmentalism, System 4 will help adjust strategies and behaviors to reflect this alignment.
  4. Health and Physical Environment: • External health threats (e.g., pandemics, pollution) or advancements in health knowledge are integrated by System 4 into how the individual manages their 11 human systems. • If external factors pose a threat to physical health, System 4 alerts System 3 to adapt the body budgeting and resource allocation to mitigate the risks.

Practical Workflow: System 3, 4, and Identity in Action

Example Workflow:

  • System 4 scans the environment and identifies a professional opportunity that aligns with the individual’s need for understanding and freedom (from HSD). It evaluates this opportunity based on the individual’s core philosophies (pragmatism) and informs System 3 to reallocate time and energy toward pursuing this opportunity.
  • System 3 adjusts the individual’s schedule, ensuring that emotional and physical resources are balanced while pursuing the new professional goal.
  • System 4 monitors progress and external conditions, adjusting strategies as needed, while System 5 (identity) is updated with new experiences and knowledge as the person adapts to the environment.
