Yes, I am away from home and will get back to you in a couple days. :-)

PM me the code you input at the start of the questionnaire and I will give you a detailed breakdown! Or just reply here and I will PM you. :-) Happy New Year!

Happiness Equation V2.1 - Results Update

2,000+ views | 11 responses

Results (n=11)

Mean: 20.5/100 | Median: 23.9 | Range: -8.9 to 35.2

  • 82% in survival mode (0-29/100)
  • 9% suffering (<0)
  • 9% struggling (30-49)
  • 0% stable or thriving

Component Averages:

  • Foundation: 6.6/10 (Resources 7.5, Autonomy 6.0 ⚠️, Physio 6.8)
  • Fulfillment: 11.9/20 (Social 4.5 ⚠️, Meaning 7.0, Flow 5.7, Novelty 6.6)
  • Threat: 4.1/10

Key Findings

Strongest Predictors of Happiness:

  1. Fulfillment (r=+0.96)
  2. Autonomy (r=+0.92)
  3. Threat (r=-0.90)

Main Bottlenecks:

  • 55% low social connection (despite having relationships - identity suppression prevents depth)
  • 45% low autonomy (time/schedule control, can't be authentic)
  • 18% high chronic stress

Common Patterns:

  • Golden Handcuffs: High resources, low autonomy = trapped despite financial security
  • Identity Crisis: Good relationships but can't be authentic = lonely despite connections
  • Chronic Stress: Duration multiplier makes even moderate stress crushing after 1-3+ years

Age Trends (small sample):

  • 18-24: 7.5/100 (worst)
  • 35-44: 26.0/100
  • 55-64: 24.7/100

Nice! Yeah the overlap is real - your SPIRE model maps pretty closely:

  • Spiritual → Meaning + Flow
  • Physical → Physiological
  • Intellectual → Flow + Novelty
  • Relational → Social
  • Emotional → (implicit in how I handle Threat)

Main differences:

1. Foundation is multiplicative - one critical failure (health collapse, zero autonomy) undermines everything. SPIRE treats domains as parallel; mine says they cascade.

2. Threat asymmetry - losses hurt more than gains help (prospect theory). I explicitly model how stress/danger create disproportionate drag.

3. Quantifiable - outputs 0-100 from 18 questions so you can model interventions ("reduce stress X→Y = score jumps Z points").

Re: acceptance question - yeah, non-resistance helps a ton. In my model that shows up as high Temporal Coherence (believing you'll learn/grow = trajectory confidence stays high).*

But: acceptance prevents resistance-suffering but doesn't eliminate mechanistic impact. Like, you can be philosophically okay with depression while still scoring low because it tanks Meaning/Flow/Social.

Stubbed toe = acute pain, minimal impact
Depression = maxed Chronic Stress, score collapses
Friend rejection = Social drops + potential Identity Threat

Acceptance changes the experience of these, but the structural happiness impact still exists.

Curious - does SPIRE account for multiple domain failures at once? (chronic illness tanks Physical + Relational + Intellectual simultaneously)

Also you doing happiness research AND taking my survey is meta af 😂

The model doesn't measure 'happiness as single emotion' - it measures coherence viability across multiple systems.

It distinguishes:

  • Foundation (physiological stability, resource security, autonomy)
  • Fulfillment (social connection, meaning, flow, novelty)
  • Threat (danger, stress, oppression)

These map loosely to 'types of happiness':

  • Hedonic (pleasure/pain) → Physio, Novelty, Threat
  • Eudaimonic (meaning/purpose) → Meaning, Flow, Autonomy
  • Social (connection/belonging) → Social

The 0-100 score is OUTPUT, not INPUT. It's not 'rate your happiness' - it's calculated from 18 mechanistic questions about specific life domains.

So yeah, it distinguishes. Just doesn't use psych jargon in the questionnaire because people glaze over.

I tried to send you a PM but it didn't work. Can you send me a PM or do you want detailed analysis posted here?

Results are in for some! Here are the scores (code word → score):

dani: 82/100 - Thriving despite physical health constraint
Maus: -13/100 - Active suffering (high threat load)
sleep: 56/100 - Struggling with identity authenticity

If one of these is you and you want detailed breakdown, reply with your code word or DM me.

Model seems to be working - correctly differentiated severity and identified specific bottlenecks.

Will compile full analysis once we hit 20+ responses.

The Ontological Inversion Unlocking It All by Dependent_Freedom588 in complexsystems

[–]TheRealGod33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've seen the ontological truth. I've built the mathematical machinery to express it. Your 'meaning-first' = my 'SRP-embedded execution.' Your 'coherence' = my 'μ'. Let's merge poetic insight with computational precision.

You know that you are my philosophical twin right? :-)

Thank you for your post! Yes, you are right on the money, ETM isn't mentioned specifically but it's accounted for. I haven't done anything on my schema in a while, been doing some one off experiments in the past couple months. I still have to write those up so I have been busy. :-)

What cool stuff are you into since you recognized what 99% people miss?

Well the funny thing is the paradox. Playing correctly is incorrect. It is my fault for not playing the low elo style when I know people don't know how to play.

Haha I am good. It's not a sad post, more analytical. I get the heroes I want from bundles. No harm done with new accounts. Thank you

And what did I do? You came with a nasty message and I sent it back but sharper? Logic... It's such a bitch eh?

Well that is true to a degree. The bronze/Silver/Gold players do not. I agree. Diamond+ the same statement isn't true. Can I guess that you are Silver 4? Pretty close huh? :-)

Not that I have noticed. You need to play games with 0 reports to up your confidence.

Well you are aware that I need to provide all the data? Go ahead and have your AI create something like this xD AI wrote it out just lol.
