The «direction» feature of the sign
The «direction» feature of a «plus» signed function means psychological orientation of thinking inward of the function’s area of responsibility.
The «direction» feature of a «minus» signed function means psychological orientation of thinking outward of the function’s area of responsibility.
The «direction» feature is seen brightest in functions processing information of F –element (volitional sensing). The direction in «volitional sensing» (F) is demonstrated through the urge towards seizure, expansion of space («minus») or to preserve, protect it («plus»).
Specific direction of thinking in a minus function is expansion, spread, movement outwards. It is not difficult to imagine that if the scale is infinite, then the movement shall be directed to this infinity. Expansion of borders is the direction outwards. Preservation of borders, their protection is the direction inwards.
«There are a lot of strategies, but I usually use a planned-temporizing strategy. Sooner or later a deer shall drive itself into a trap if the traps are placed using the best of one’s skills. An attack is justified if made with good intentions and efficiently».
«I’ve never thought of the strategy of attack because even the mere notion of “attack” has only a slight relation to me. Any attack from my side can only result from the desire to protect my space if anyone tries to transgress it or simply pokes his nose into other people’s business. Besides, it only happens in the situations of utter annoyance when one does not understand what is wanted from him. I cannot recollect a single example when I decided to occupy someone’s territory».
