Example: The primary information is: 'a car crashed into a wall'.
The person has to build several models. These models could be, in this
example:
- accident
- test
- movie
- computer game
- cartoon
This is just an example. In an actual situation, the person should not only
build several models, but also develop them progressively, in parallel, along
with new data adding to the initial information.
After a certain accumulation of information, the person might stabilize to a
single model, but if he/she has not enough information, and does not realize
it, this can be a sign that there could be a problem. The test is usually
passed well, if the person maintains his/her flexibility, even after there is
apparently enough information to get stable in a model. The existence of
flexibility is understood as a guarantee that the person has the capability to
build long-range models. And also that he/she has no OMPSM, i.e. is not
paranoid.
There is a game based on this idea: one builds a model, and the other has to
guess what the model is. To do this, he/she has to ask questions to be
answered only by yes and no.
T2. Test for detection of paranoia.
An individual accepts a change in a stable model, if the external reality
imposes it. In a practical situation, the person interacts with external
reality and builds a model, which gives good predictions on the external
reality. At some point, an element of the external reality is changed. If the
person detects the change and corrects the model, as well as the other
interconnected models, this is a good indication of normality. For a person
suspected of paranoia, the model used would be the one supposed to be the
OMPSM.
Paranoid subjects can distort the external reality unlimitedly to make it
compatible with their OMPSM. As a consequence, the test tries to see if the
person suspected of paranoia will modify the supposed OMPSM.
To be applicable, the test as described above, needs to take into account a
design deficiency of the brain, as given in the general theory. Any image
model has a basic problem: on an image model one can't see the importance of
an element or a relationship. The image model remains harmonic for an infinity
of values of importance, given to the elements or relations. Due to this
issue, the paranoid subjects do not realize the presence of their illness.
Except these classical psychiatric illnesses, there are illnesses produced by
dynamical and transitory instabilities of the brain. The illnesses given by
dynamical or transitory problems refer to the loss of models stability in
special conditions or at certain moments of time.
The XZM (illegal models) could also explain a series of problems. The general
theory addresses this issue.
