Hi John, You request that I, "specify the ordering principle to make (mildly) explicit what the principle that arrange the elements (in whatever topological form) in the ordering." In order to attempt the enormous task of converting Dilts' content-saturated Neuro-logical levels model into a process model, I find it helpful to arrange his "chain of nominalizations" heterarchically (horizontally). A heterarchical arrangement respects the uniqueness of the organizational pattern of each individual while simultaneously allowing hierarchically ordered leverage points to emerge in specific contexts within the experience of each individual where changing something at a higher node in the hierarchy could be described to have effected change in the lower level. In the heterarchical arrangement then, there would be in essence no controller for the system. The system would re-configure itself as is appropriate to the context. Though far from an explication of the ordering principles that arrange the ordering of the elements, I hope that this at least triggered some interesting inferences. -Pete |
