Tools
There are many ways to conceptualize the mechanisms of how beliefs get instilled in members of a society. The recurring devices you will see in through out this work are the tree model, ebb-flow, and venn diagram. These help to understand how we become who we are and how any society instill it's beliefs in it's members.
In the previous section you saw some definitions for system, society, and core beliefs. In this section you will see different tools to help visualize a central concept to this work: a society is a system, and at its core root is the society's beliefs.

Tree Analogy
|
Tree: 1) a thing that has a branching structure resembling that of a tree. 2) a diagram with a structure of branching connecting lines, representing different processes and relationships.
|
A tree is a living system. The tree analogy allows us to take the nebulous concept of society and culture and give it a more tangible concrete form that we can analyze to give us a better understanding of a societal system.
A system is an organization that consists of interrelated and interdependent elements continually influencing one another, maintaining their activity and the existence of the system, in order to achieve the goal of the system. A body is an example of an organization that consists of interrelated and interdependent organs continually influencing one another, maintaining their activity and the existence of the body, in order to achieve the goal of the body.
A tree and a society are an organization that consists of interrelated and interdependent parts continually influencing one another, maintaining their activity and the existence of the system, in order to achieve the goal of the tree or society.

Ebb & Flow
|
Ebb-Flow: describes how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they may give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another.
|
Ebb & Flow give us the ability to see non-linearly, non-hierarchically, it gives us the ability to see and appreciate that often two seemingly different things can simultaneously create and continuously re+create each other.
A society is group involved in persistent social interaction, or a large social grouping sharing the same geographical or social territory, typically subject to the same principle authority and dominant cultural expectations. In other words, society is a group of individuals, interconnected, and interdependent giving rise to each other, continually influencing each other, as they continually
interrelate to one another.
A tree and a society are a collection of parts, interconnected and interdependent, giving rise to each other as they continually interrelate to one another. A society continually influences it's individual members and it's individual members continually influence the collective. Which came first, the seed, the roots, or the fruit?

Venn Diagram
|
Venn Diagram: a diagram representing mathematical or logical sets pictorially as circles or closed curves within an enclosing rectangle (the universal set), common elements of the sets being represented by the areas of overlap among the circles.
|
Everything exists in a relationship with something else. Nothing exists isolated in a vacuum. A venn diagram allows us to look at parts while simultaneously keeping a bigger picture in mind. A single part is connected to many other parts and all these different parts have a few things in common, creating a core, the universal set.
Core beliefs are principal principles, propositions, ideas, accepted as true. They are the very essence of how one sees the past, present, future, the surroundings, other beings, and themselves.
A tree and a society have parts large and small that overlap. The area where all parts overlap, the universal set, is the essence, it is the core of what it is. For a tree or any bio+logical organism that essence is it's DNA. For a society we propose that that universal set is it's core beliefs. In later sections we dissect what those core beliefs could be...
