Scandium

Scandium is the third developmental level where the subject is defined as wishes which have perceptions (the object of the skill or trait). The novice which has the developmental object at this level does not distinguish the property from its wishes about it. It can be thought of as a newbie version of the skill and those who use it at this are said to have no standards. Things which they make in this period are known as crude copies.

Only recipes can be tasks at the scandium level. They can have state.

At the scandium level of development, the wishes are encouraged by the crude nature of this novice skill, but perceptions are unaffected. The novice may be so satifisfied with their activity they are telling others about its advantages, but they do not ignore any perceptions which detract because they have learned acknowledgement of the flaws increases the power of the praise.

This is also the first level of development where previous vocabulary? is used. People operating at the scandium level of development have come to understand that their praise will be most effective if it is expressed using terminology emphasizing perceptions. They will tend to avoid autocratic declarations of their own will and respect others who have not yet learned to exert their own wills. This will be reassuring to those approaching the level (in period 1) and may aid them in resolving their own conflicts.
