Independent Balances

Each period of any Periodic Object has a balance which defines that level of development. Those balances fall generally into one of two groups (which alternate as development proceeds from one balance to the next): Independent Balances and Inclusive Balances.

Independent balances are always based on autonomy or a feeling of freedom. They downplay the need for interaction and inclusion. Interdependence is less important than separateness.

The Inclusive Balances are:

• The Institutional Balance - which implies a balance of an independent institution
• The Imperial Balance - which implies a balance of an autonomous individual
• The Incorporative Balance - which implies a balance of a no-longer-totally-dependent entity
