MMMario Mabutas

Key Points

  • The research aims to define a system of motivational archetypes based on psychological frameworks and regulatory states.
  • Developed a 54-archetype system consisting of 27 base configurations and 2 regulatory states.
  • Analyzed behavioral signatures and distortions under different psychological conditions.
  • Explored the implications of the iSPAA Default Hypothesis and the CBS mechanism.
  • Identified distinct behavioral signatures linked to each archetype.
  • Found that safety mode (sSPAA) is often the exception rather than the default state.
  • Highlighted the dynamic nature of configurations, suggesting they shift with environmental factors.

Abstract

This paper presents the complete 54-archetype system (27 base configurations × 2 regulatory states) of the Triadic Psychological Architecture. Each archetype represents a stable combination of domain expression across SPAA, AEACFO, and ECA under either iSPAA (threat) or sSPAA (safety) conditions. The document provides detailed behavioral signatures, common distortions, clinical implications, and philosophical mappings. It introduces the iSPAA Default Hypothesis to explain why safety mode is the exception rather than the default, and the Co-Regularity Baseline Shift (CBS) mechanism emphasizing the dynamic, non-fixed nature of configurations. Designed as a diagnostic and self-reflection tool, this paper translates the abstract TPA model into observable human patterns while maintaining the framework's non-hierarchical, anti-essentialist stance.
