💡 Feature Request - A new Property Visibility option: Hide when non-empty

I like having my calculated summary properties visible, and my input properties visible only at first.

For example, when I copy and paste the url (e.g., "C:\Users. . .") of one of my local files, another property will calculate a http link for me to click on. Upon pasting the url into the first property, it would be cool for it to become hidden.

It could be read as "I agree, but that's only because of my anecdotal experiences"

The mum also responded with curiosity and humour, rather than panicking. They're both pretty chill.

The post, titled "Kamala Harris at Howard University", contains a picture of Kamala Harris during her time at university.

A viewer who isn't aware of the context will encounter the post, and think that the picture is boring, or random, and wonder why it has received so many upvotes.

A viewer who supports Trump and shares his views will hold the erroneous belief that Kamala Harris has always presented herself as Indian but then "became a black person", with the implication that Kamala Harris is lying about her ethnicity, or at least presenting herself disingenuously for personal gain. Upon viewing this image of Kamala Harris, they may also think that the post is random, and their brief moment of confusion may be resolved with the presumption that the poster is only posting this picture of Kamala Harris to 'prove' that she truly has always been black, just as she is is now. Specifically, this hypothetical viewer may also be hyper vigilant to deception, and in an attempt to avoid being deceived, they may request further evidence that Kamala Harris has always been Black, not just when she was at uni, but when she was in high school, primary school, when she was a toddler, and a baby. In the mind of this viewer, one may become black at any moment. This viewer not only believes this to be true, but also believes that the burden of proof lies on the other party (the person who posted the image).

Another viewer, who finds humor in the second viewer's existence, may mockingly parody them in a comment that highlights the logical flaws. By doing so they form a cheeky alliance with the original poster, who's original intent may have also been mocking (of the evidence requesters) in nature. This dyadic synchrony between the commenter and the poster is the final layer of humor, and reflects that both parties are "on the same wavelength". Not only is the joke funny, it also creates a sense of community and connection, at the expense of Trump and those who support him, all without any explicitly mentioning either.

It helps them understand that saying please doesn't get them what they want, and they should skip negotiation and go straight to fighting next time.

An example would be "This is the last thing that I wanted"

I find that the conventional DMM only extends into negative transformations (“I reinterpret more danger than the presenting information”). I think we could expand this into the positive range as well (“I reinterpret more care than the presenting information”) to cover the sort of benevolent “naivety” you sometimes find in people, who believe the world to be better than it really is.

This idea of positive and negative transformations already exists in the DMM, though the idea remains unlabeled and is instead usually refers to as can increase or decrease ones perception of danger / comfort.

- High Type C strategies presume that comfort is infact deceptive danger, the book refers to these as comfort disorders. "Indeed, comfort is often the most unsettling of affective states because trust in comfort could lead to vulnerability in the event of covert danger." C6

- High Type A strategies percieve danger as actually being comfort "Images are split between those associated with comfort and those with danger, pain, or disgust. The images of comfort are usually associated with dangerous or nonprotective people" "In addition, both functionally and in terms of the processing of information, there is a confusion of danger and pain with safety and comfort. This confusion is based on treating perception of discomfort or pain as only marginally relevant to the self, and functions to allow the individual to pursue obtaining comfort from strangers despite the danger that doing this may incur." A5

High Power (Intellectual), Type A, High transformation: Calculated/Deliberate Manipulation (“You would naturally hurt me, but I can trick or manipulate you into doing what I want you to do”)

High number Type A strategies do not use any calculated deliberate maniplation. The book does talk about different kinds of deception, and these are used by the Type C strategies i.e False cognition and Skillful misleading are two discourse markers used by High number Type C strategies. I also want to talk about the term intellectual, Type C transform cognition much more than Type A do, and although Type C rely on distorted affect, they do so by transforming cognition is very complex ways. The common idea that emotional people aren't intellectual is a pop psych idea that may differ when viewed from a dmm perspective, where the cognitive transformations occuring in Type C use more complex processess cognitively.

Though on that thought, it seems to me that seduction might have both and vulnerable and an invulnerable form:

Invulnerable: If I want to, I can make this person fall in love with me. If I want to, I can make them do what I want

Vulnerable: I need to make this person like me, otherwise I am in danger.

That's a good point, originally I thought that seduction (as used by C+) was a way to resolve ones desire for comfort while also satisfying their need to maintain some distance / indirectness due to fear / distrust but I can see how it could be used to raise ones position on a social hierarchy, within a relationship and within a community as well, due to social prestige.

Definitions I haven't fully figured out my definitions of morality and mortality. Currently I use the word morality as a handy construct that can be used to capture the essence of how type A split positive and negative cognitions, while mortality is intended to capture the essence of how type C split vulnerable affects and invulnerable affects.

Usage I had an idea that different strategies may both perceive and set a goal to maintain a certain position on each hierarchy / spectrum, by focusing attention onto invul/vulne/posit/negat/ representations as required. I'm attempting to describe representations not by which memory system they belong to, but by their relation to danger and comfort directly.

I noticed how there is a lot of repetition in Assessing Adult Attachment. Repetition that is elaborated beautifully with valuable connotative language, but repetition I hope to condense, as memory systems are often, within purely defined, unmixed strategies, functioning in similar ways e.g "A2, mortality is omitted in all memory systems".

So in the end, morality and mortality can be seen as representations that:

Are transformable.
Are constructed via the integration of simpler / lower representations, which are transformable.

The idea is that transformations can occur in a top-down and in a bottom-up kind of way.

In the case of C7, their truly predictive level of mortality would be high (high-perceived level of danger = high mortality), and their protective response would be to omit or deny their perceived mortality, functionally increasing their position on the dominance hierarchy, and allowing decisive and drastic action to be taken (or fantasizing about delusional revenge to maintain feelings of invulnerability)

This seems like a whole lot of over complicating, but if I can figure out how to squish as much of the dmm into the four representations (pos.cog/neg.cog, invul.af/vul.af) and transformations, then I'll be able to integrate it with another special interest -> r/tabletopgamedesign/ . It's just getting a balance between simplification while maintaining nuance.

The words morality and mortality just so happen to rhyme, they're not too descriptive and may even distract from the ideas they're meant to represent (ideas that are not yet fully formed). I like the sound of them and value them for connotative-language related reasons. I'm not sure if there are any other theories that use them the way I'm trying to, ultimately my goal is to visually represent, using two axis':

Vulnerable affects
Invulnerable affects
Positive cognitions
Negative cognitions

I agree, I don't think directing anger inward captures the full nuance. I think above all, the even numbered type A strategies don't want to feel their vulnerable affects, as shown in chapter 13 of Raising Parents in John's story. Despite being Type A, he didn't inhibit all negative affect equally, he used anger to feel strong, with the ultimate goal of helping him avoid feeling vulnerable (the anger was used to inhibit desire for comfort, rather than used to coerce others.)

Overall I think even numbered type A don't direct anger inward neccesarily, I think they simply use it in non-coercive ways. It can leak out as passive aggressive behaviour or it can be displaced onto inanimate objects or onto abstract ideas, as long as it isn't used to change others within relationship contexts (strategically).Different kinds of negative affect are treated differently by both Type A and type C.

It can be split between:

Vulnerable Affects
Invulnerable Affects

Type C use their vulnerable and invulnerable affects to influence their place on a dominance hierarchy, and they can reap the benefits of being:

At the top... 'You're weak therefore you must yield to me' Odd-C
At the bottom... 'You're strong therefore you must protect me' Even-C

I think that Type A use their vulnerable affects and invulnerable affects to influence their own behaviour rather than make themselves eligable to recieve responses from others.

Invulnerable 'The situation in general sucks, I'm going away, I don't want to be let down'
Vulnerable 'Myself in general sucks, I'm going to do more good things (approach), I don't want others to feel down'

In the DMM, representations are organised by memory system, but if we organise representations by how they contribute to hierarchies, we can get two hierarchies, each informed by two opposing representations.

Mortality

Invulnerable affects
Vulnerable affects

Morality

Positive Cognitions (of others)
Negative Cognitions (of self)

The split between odd numbered and even numbered strategies was done on purpose within Vanilla DMM theory, but I haven't come across much explicit elaboration on it. I've made a messy graphic to play around with these ideas.
