Inclusive

Defining the self by its relations to others

Periodic entities which define themselves by their relations to others of their kind (or by the lack of such relations) have dependency of "inclusive." The odd-numbered periods (the Prenatal Balance, the Impulsive Balance, the Interpersonal Balance, and the Interindividual Balance) share this property.

Thus, both the teen who hangs out with a rigidly defined peer group (skaters, stoners, jocks, etc.) and the teenager who feels alienated from all such groups are defining themselves by an inclusive balance.

See also Independent and Inclusive Balances.
