It occurred to me that these two images make an interesting pair.
The first one is from the 2015 paper about "Patterns of Peeragogy" and gives a map of ways around creating-the-social.
Briefly, the spirit of the map above is to say that we should look for the foundations of social creativity by a regression to the creation of the social. It gives some hints about what we expect to find constituting this Ur-Creative / Ur-Social level.
The second map is from our joint "Afterword" draft, with the core image itself extracted from an earlier slide deck "A Schematization of Phaticity".
In terms of theoretical levels, the second map is still one level deeper than the one above. As used here, it suggests that each pre-social attitude, factor, or dimension is rooted in feelings or sentiments. Thus, for example, we might describe the feelings of a newcomer (nervousness, self-doubt, curiosity, and so forth) as well as feelings towards a newcomer (compassion; superiority; maternal, paternal, avuncular, fraternal or sororal instincts; pastoral care, etc.).
I'd suggest that it could be interesting to develop a semiotic/phatic "reading" of social creativity, by applying the sign-function microscrope from the 2nd diagram to the 1st diagram.
Note: the "microscope" has several different "lenses" -- Malinowski seems to set everything very close to "zero" -- whereas La Barre sets things to "one", i.e., one "generalized emotional tone." And Jakobson fragments the unity of a channel into relationships among several signals.
In short, the first diagram presents a sort of anatomy without covering dynamics, and the second diagram gives the basis for studying dynamics but in itself isn't tied to any particular domain. It could be an interesting exercise to combine them.
