*Applications exist for the Cognietrics Traits even in areas as diverse as physics: in Classical Mechanics, an Axiomatic discipline, while supposed Knowledge is a factor not directly correlated though partially Associated with every system, due to David Hume's Problem of Induction, only Understanding comes from continuous Observation. However, as implied by the Copenhagen Interpretation, in Quantum Mechanics the opposite is true: Contextual information that is due to the dependence of randomly Known Observables on the undocumented yet Understood influence of the Associater prevents Knowledge of the effects of the Association or continuous Understanding of the Observables. Though some may consider this to be a psychologism, I believe that the definitions given by Cognietrics have real potential in explaining the epistemological positions concerning the scientific frontier, especially with respect to the documentation of a large variety of human behaviors, because of their fundamental versatility and interdependence. Interestingly enough, Carl Gustav Jung had a close correspondence with Wolfgang Ernst Pauli, one of the founding fathers of Quantum Mechanics.

Philosophical concepts derived from the Triads:

As Curious about Causes and Serious about Effects:

Causes become Conceptual Observations from Associated Patterns. Effects become Conceptual Associations from Observed Patterns.

When one considers that for something to be Counterfactual it must be deterministic, and that something Statistical in nature is probabilistic:

It becomes obvious that Optimizing complements determinism as a way of dealing with inevitability, whereas Scouting is a search for a tiny probability of success in the face of overwhelming odds. Probabilistic Sensors Perceive because they are less sure what to notice while deterministic Sensors may follow a formula. Deterministic iNtuitives Perceive because they are working things out whereas probabilistic iNtuitives are already aware of their chances. The deterministic deals with the possible. The probabilistic deals with the probable.

There are connections to the sciences. Decision-Making, or Contextual Feeling, is the result of Bayesian Statistics, and Cosmology, or Axiomatic Thought, is at best Frequentist Statistics. Use of a deterministic equation with the conditionality of a variable, which also requires Thought, examines Chaos, where small initial deviations may result in large effects. That universal truths may occur deterministically may help one to Feel relative value about things that display Complexity, the minimum information required to document something, where an effect is only due to a collective behavior of components which suppresses other influences. As such, complex thoughts, unless overly simplified with conscious logic, must actually be felt in order to be considered significant, and chaotic feelings must actually be thought as no significance is yet attributed to them.
