[Dopamine (High Level / Selective)]
Qi-c Component: Reform orientation, discovery of one's own path
De-c Component: Discovery of peripheral values, achievement of bridging
Integration: Reward from discovering new possibilities and creative ideation
[Noradrenaline (Medium Level / Selective)]
Qi-c Component: Skepticism toward external norms, detection of discomfort
De-c Component: Vigilance against exclusion, attention to peripheral values
Integration: Critical attention to existing frameworks, sensitivity to new possibilities
[Serotonin (Medium Level / Variable)]
Qi-c Component: Sense of achievement during reform
De-c Component: Stability during acceptance
Integration: Balance of discovery and ideation
[Oxytocin (Low to Medium Level / Selective)]
Qi-c Component: Empathy for minorities
De-c Component: Acceptance of the different
Integration: Equal perspective, democratic inclusion
[Glutamate (High Activity)]
Right Prefrontal Cortex: Ethical judgment, self-determination, norm deviation detection
Insular Cortex: Detection of discomfort, interoceptive sense, response to "rightness"
Default Mode Network: Introspection, creative thinking, exploration of possibilities
Anterior Cingulate Cortex: Internal monitoring, error detection, motivation for reform
[Excitation Conditions]
Discovery of new possibilities
Criticism of existing frameworks
Peripheral and heterodox values
Creative ideas
"Everyone should be equal" perspective
Exploration of process
Integration of reform and acceptance
[Inhibition Conditions]
Forcing of fixed judgments
Complete conformity to existing frameworks
Justification of exclusion
Evaluation of only central values
Focus only on results
[Development Mechanism]
Early: Simple skepticism and acceptance → Middle: Critical discovery and inclusion → Late: Establishment of creative ideation → Mature: Deep integration of discovery and ideation
[Consumption Pattern]
Medium to High (100-130 kcal/hr), variable
Depletion through critical inquiry and receptive inclusion
[Duration]
Several hours to days of exploratory thinking
Long-term maintenance of reform orientation
[Fatigue and Recovery]
Fatigue: Forcing of fixed judgments, complete conformity to existing frameworks, justification of exclusion
Recovery: Discovery of new possibilities, creative ideation, achievement of reform and acceptance
Characteristic: Irrational / Process / Democracy, integration of Qi-c (Reform) x De-c (Acceptance)
[Discovery-Oriented / Ideation-Oriented Cognition]
Exploration of new possibilities
Critical stance toward existing frameworks
Discovery of peripheral and heterodox values
[Process-Oriented / Exploratory]
Fluid inquiry over fixed judgments
Exploration of the process itself
Integration of reform and acceptance
[Democratic / Egalitarian]
"Everyone should be equal" perspective
Transcending social hierarchy and value judgments
Picking up what tends to be excluded
[Critical Acceptance]
Reform orientation x Peripheral acceptance
Skepticism x Inclusiveness
Critical discovery → Receptive inclusion → Creative ideation
[Valued Elements]
New possibilities, creative ideas
Peripheral and heterodox values
Reform orientation, receptive inclusion
Equal perspective, process exploration
[Undervalued Elements]
Fixed judgments, conformity to existing frameworks
Justification of exclusion, only central values
Focus only on results
[Decision Process]
Critical inquiry → Discovery of peripheral values → Receptive inclusion → Creative ideation → Unfolding of new possibilities
Several hours to days of exploratory decision-making
"New possibilities" and "equal inclusion" as criteria
[Discovery and Ideation Process]
Critical Inquiry: "Is this truly right?" / "It should be possible to do better"
Peripheral Discovery: Finding meaning in things usually avoided
Receptive Inclusion: Picking up what tends to be excluded
Creative Ideation: Generation of new possibilities
Reform and Acceptance: Integration of criticism and inclusion
[Characteristics]
Strong skepticism toward external norms
Transcending social hierarchy and value judgments
Discovery of peripheral and heterodox values
Creative ideation from an equal perspective
Emphasis on the process itself
[Attention Priorities]
New possibilities (highest sensitivity), peripheral and heterodox values
Criticism of existing frameworks, creative ideas
Equal perspective, process exploration
[Easily Overlooked]
Benefits of existing frameworks, central values, focus on results, implementation details
[Daily Life]
Deep introspection on "Is this truly right?"
Strong skepticism toward external norms
Finding meaning in things usually avoided
Picking up what tends to be excluded
[Thinking Style]
Discovery-oriented, ideation-oriented
Critical acceptance, process exploration
Democratic, egalitarian
[Learning Style]
Prefers: Exploratory understanding, critical thinking, creative ideation
Dislikes: Fixed judgments, conformity to existing frameworks, justification of exclusion
[Speaking Style]
Content: New possibilities, peripheral values, reform and acceptance, equal perspective
Style: Critically, receptively, creatively
Characteristics: Discovery and ideation, process emphasis
[Listening Style]
High sensitivity to new possibilities, detection of peripheral values
"Fixed," "exclusionary"
[Discussion Style]
Role: Discoverer, ideator, reformer, acceptor
Effect: New possibilities are opened, creative ideas are born, or idealistic and implementation-difficulty tendency
[Healthy Range]
Stronger critical inquiry, deepening of receptive inclusion, acceleration of creative ideation
[Moderate Stress]
Excessive skepticism, complete idealism
[High Stress]
Complete isolation, health deterioration, burnout
[Signs of Recovery]
Discovery of new possibilities, creative ideation, achievement of reform and acceptance
[Waking Pattern]
Exploratory, "What will I discover today?"
[Daytime Pattern]
Continuous critical inquiry, discovery of peripheral values, creative ideation
[Evening Pattern]
Reflection on today's discoveries, confirmation of "Did I find new possibilities?"
[Holidays]
Deep exploration, creative ideation, integration of reform and acceptance
