TEP – Breaking Down the Percentages of TP (Perception Transfer)

In the Theory of the Perfect Environment (TEP), Perception Transfer (TP) is the process through which an individual identity (ID) surrenders part of its Perceptual Identity (PI) to a collective entity (EN), receiving in return Collective Perception (PC). This exchange defines its degree of integration within the Entity.

In this article, we analyze in detail how this percentage (TP) varies and why it is logically structured into three phases: Association, Cooperation, and Specialization, which represent the progressive transition from the Individual Self to the Higher Self (emergent SS). These values are not arbitrary but arise from a logical architecture that we break down step by step.

The TEP establishes the path of Perception Transfer from the IDs to the EN, with percentages that define the 3 phases: Association 1-25%, Cooperation 26-50%, and Specialization 51-99%.

The ID transfers PI and receives PC in return, in a relationship where both values sum to 100. Thus, the value of TP=PC. And PX=PI+PC. Therefore, PI and PC are opposites, always summing to 100 between them. If PI=1, PC=99. If PI=30, PC=70.

Are these values random and speculative? Let's see.

The TEP establishes 3 states of TP:

Association is the transition from the Individual Self to the Collective Self, that is, the "we." There is a transition from the Individual Good to the Common Good.

Cooperation is the transition from the Collective Self, the "We," to the Higher Self. There is a transition from the Common Good to the Higher Good.

Specialization is the transition from the Higher Self toward the emergence of the SS (Higher Being). There is a specialization and reinforcement of the Higher Good until totality.

TP is a transition from the Individual Self to the Higher Self. From 1 to 99, since TP=100 is the emergence of the SS, where the Good of the parts becomes non-existent and the emergent ID (SS) will initiate its own TP from the minimum value in its PI+PC equilibrium.

This transition from an Individual Self to a Higher Self has an intermediate equilibrium point where an ID is more the EN than the ID. This is observed in ants with respect to the anthill, for example. Is an ant more the ant or the anthill?

It will die for the anthill without hesitation, when that is contrary to the interests of the Individual Good and the Common Good.

The Individual Good prioritizes the interests of the Self, with life being the greatest of those interests. The Common Good prioritizes the interests of the "We," that is, of each Self, with life being the greatest interest of every ID within the "we." The Higher Good prioritizes the interests of the Higher Self, with the life of the Higher Self being the greatest of its interests, above the Individual Self.

The "We" is only a necessary transition state to individualize the plurality. How do two individualities become one? This is a concept that must be broken down to be understood. The only way to go from an Individual Self to a Higher Self is a transition that resolves the paradox. Not because it isn't possible, which it is. Any human is a Higher Self to the parts that compose them.

But the transition from Self to Higher Self must begin at a point where the Individual Self exists and culminate at a point where the Individual Self no longer exists. This transition is what must convert multiple Individual Selves into a single Unit. For this, those IDs must begin to be something more than "I." But not just anything. If it were something more than them, that did not lead to a Higher Self, the TP could yield any result.

So, if experience is subjective, there could not be a transfer of perception, totally subjective, that would return a non-subjective experience (something impossible because EX is subjective by structure).

So, what is PC, what is "we"?

"We" is this. The PC among several IDs is a collective Perception shared by all members of a group (Entity). The only way to share a Perception among different IDs is for there to be an individual substrate that contains them. Thus, the PC is the result of the PX emitted by the PAPs of the IDs. It is shared by all IDs and returns a result.

It is this: I and I and I and I are I, therefore, we are "we." We are "we" because we are still individual "I"s.

When TP>50, then I and I and I are Higher Self. Because we are more EN than ID.

An EN is a PAP partially self-perceiving through the PAPs that form it. They self-perceive that the boundary separating them is gradually dissolving by the direct percentage of TP. Thus, that Higher PAP "executes" APX and PX gradually, but it is not yet an ID. Therefore, its PX does not come from itself, but from the APX and PX that the PAPs are executing on themselves and on the whole in which the boundary is dissolving.

When I state that a Higher PAP "executes," I am referring to the fact that the Higher PAP is progressively = to PAP1=PAP2=PAP3. In the percentage of TP. It executes APX and PX because AP=PAP=Higher PAP=Total AP on a structural level.

"We" is the necessary step that allows an ID to transition to a Higher ID. It is the individualization of plurality through the concept of I and I and I are I, but since I cannot yet be I, we are "we," while I retain my I.

When there is a Self higher than my Self, then "We" will cease to be a necessary state.

At the 50% equilibrium, a point is established where PI=50. If PI=49, the Higher Good of the EN prevails over the Individual. If PI=51, the Individual Good prevails over the Higher.

But, the Higher Good is a transition from "We." And, "we" is the concept that makes grouping possible. Thus, "We" is a value available from the beginning of TP, as an inevitable consequence. TP exists because the "I"s of the IDs perceive a "We," which is the EN.

If "We" is an initial value that must coexist with the Individual Self and the Higher Self, and it is part of the first phase of TP, the logical result is this. From TP=1 to TP=50, there is a gradual transition from "I" to "we." What is the equilibrium point at which the Individual Self is more "We" than "I"?

TP=25 would be the most probable value. If PI=76, PC=TP=24. Therefore, the ID is more "I" than "We." If PI=74, PC=TP=26. Therefore, the ID is more "We" than "I."

Once PI=49, it is Higher Self over Individual Self, and therefore over "We."

The logical transition would be three transition stages (although the real transition is from Individual Self to Higher Self):

First stage: Association, with 1<TP<=25. Second stage: Cooperation, with 25<TP<=50. Third stage: Specialization, with 50<TP<100.

The Individual Good prevails over the common in the Association phase. The Common Good prevails over the Individual in the Cooperation phase. The Higher Good prevails over the common in the Specialization phase. Being that, in reality, it is a transition from Individual Good to Higher Good, with "We" as a necessary intermediate state.

If at TP=51, the common Good were to prevail over the Higher, it would mean that the Individual Good still prevails over the Higher, indirectly.

So "We" is a transition state that is reversed at TP=51. Therefore, the Higher Good and the Higher Self prevail over the Individual (and therefore over the common) when TP exceeds 50%.

The values of TP are not speculative or random. They are based on a logical analysis that must reflect the complex transition from the state of maximum PI to minimum PI.
