Power Dynamics: Version 1 (TBC)

Preface: In order to understand the following, it is important to make the connection that these concepts refer to events that exist within the Sub-Conscious, and not what can actually be visually seen physically through Conscious thought. This theory is overly based upon sensory and intangible aspects.

Power Dynamics refers to the role that Objects play in opposing one another, in this case, People. I theorise that People maintain a limited Range for what they can see about them, in regards to other people they come in contact with, or maintain a connection with. This Range, to be known as the "Range of Gaze" for the purpose of this paper, is area encompassing a parties of a Similar level of Self Esteem, to those a number of Points Below the Viewing Party. This range is thus based on the Self Esteem Levels and also includes a "Preferred Point" or Equilibrium which is required to be met as a minimum avoid an "Uncomfortable Range or Perspective".

The complicated matter is that these to Ranges and Preferences are actually inverted depending on the Level of Self Esteem. That is to say that a Party with HIGH Self Esteem Level will ultimately Seek to raise that of Party with a LOWER Self Esteem Level, while a Party with a LOW Self Esteem Level will seek to reduce that of similar or lower positioned Parties. Positive vs Negativity.

This theory can also be applied to that of "Peer Pressure" and "SadoMachochist Relationships"; which are ultimately a more twisted extension of "Peer Pressure" on a one-to-one basis. Peer Pressure exists when one Party who is on par or slightly stronger than another, applies a level of pressure in order to have a decision made that is for the most part; negative. This pressure is often to minimise the levels of guilt and/or conscience that arise due the event to be undertaken.
