The Mission of Model 1 & Model 2

Model 1

Goals:

• To investigate whether facial expressions, voice tone & body mannerisms self-organize around any view of Jungian typology.
• If so, then create an empirical method to verify a person's type and refine that method through a feedback loop with samples.
• Through this feedback loop, find what the natural boundaries are to types, both visually and psychologically, and quantify these boundaries.
• After doing so, write profiles that describe these boundaries using data, and move the field of typology away from prototypical or stereotypical personality scaffolds.

Endgame: To overtake the broader typology community as the more empirically salient, but also psychologically compelling description of type. To illuminate humanity as to the nature of their being, and bring this knowledge into the hands of practitioners and psychologists through a certification program.

Model 2

Goals:

• Develop a way to independently verify/falsify the hypotheses of Model 1 through clear scientific methodologies.
• Gather clean data in person, from non-celebrities, via interviews with standardized camera setups.
• Develop a computational architecture that can model consciousness, as described by CT, and see it if runs successfully.
• Develop a lexicon to describe the visual phenomenon being tracked, that is non-contingent on Jung or any previous practitioners.
• Make it possible for other lab groups to reproduce, and thus falsify or verify, the conclusions herein.
• Develop behavioral profiles based entirely on statistical data gathered from surveys.

Endgame: If it is the case, then, to publish many scientific papers on the findings of CT, making a case for humanity's embodied cognition and the link between psychology and the body. To establish a new, and reputable, field of study that can exist alongside the other avenues we have for measuring human beings -- and have other universities and groups join the research effort. In short, to elevate human consciousness of itself.
