A/ Mainly Conscious (In Awareness) Dynamic and Structural Elements in The Psyche
Main Thinking Dynamics: Secondary Process...Rational-Empirical to greater or lesser extent, negotiating, compromising, mediating, asserting, persuading, organized, consistent, coherent, abstracting, generalizing, distinguishing, classifying, comparing, contrasting, agreeing, disagreeing, choosing, deciding...

11. 'The Black Hole' (or alternatively, 'Nietzsche's Abyss', or 'Anaximander's Apeiron');
