"Models a person as a fixed nine-dimensional 'grain' -- six HEXACO personality factors plus Abstraction Ability, Structured Generalization, and Need for Cognition -- plus one dynamic Environmental Factor that reads, in real time, which way a given situation's grain runs before committing to a cut."
Grain (the 9+1 Framework)
Models a person as a fixed nine-dimensional grain -- six HEXACO personality factors plus Abstraction Ability, Structured Generalization, and Need for Cognition -- plus one dynamic Environmental Factor that reads, in real time, which way a given situation's grain runs before committing to a cut.
Where This Idea Comes From
Published as its own framework page, Grain, worked out over a 2026-09-03 session. Recasts personality and intelligence as a fixed grain of wood plus a real-time read of which way it runs before committing to a cut — nine stable dimensions plus one dynamic factor, coarse-binned into roughly 20,000 patterns.
