5 Natural Operating Modes (MO.O.N.s): a Sum of Skills-Abilities

5.1. Core components/skills-abilities: MO.O.N.s, complex dynamic principles

The useful and necessary foundations for grasping the complexity implied by the word “talent” have been established, and we are now ready to enter the field of “talent development”. We suggest the investigation of the different MO.O.N.s and their contiguity (correlation, coherence, combination) in order to propose methodology, advice and some useful recommendations for their development and actualization. By “development” we mean the rise in skills of natural operating modes, which we call “core components”, that is, intentional behaviors developed and trained from natural abilities.

Every MO.O.N. capable of autonomously producing a result is organized through a computational mode operating by polarity. The image we could present would be that of an engine that, without a gearbox, would run idly. Without its ability to interact, empathy is “idle”. This principle applies to each MO.O.N. and finds, as it seems to us, a certain similarity with the functional logic of Chinese thought, the principles of definition as previously discussed (to define X, define Y) and a certain way in which the brain “polarizes” in order to produce its multitude of activities. This key principle separates us from the principle of locating intelligence in a part of the brain or an isolated form of intelligence (we have shown why this way of thinking is as incorrect-incomplete ...
