This article builds upon a formal person-situation framework by offering formalisms for its subcomponents, as well as for reality more generally. More specifically, a system of mathematical formalisms is offered relating the following constructs: holarchy, reality, and psychological reality. Psychological reality is offered a portmanteau in the neologism, "psychologicality". Psychologicality denotes mind and behavior, both of which are subcomponents of Sood's [20] person-situation formula. The mathematics offered is woven into a broader, subjective-objective ontology that is required for any truly representative virtual world.The result from above, when synthesized with informatics, is a novel "holarchic informatics" and more specific holarchic psychoinformatics (HPI). Holarchic psychoinformatics is related with Sood's psychoinformatic complexity (PIC) paradigm.The aim of this article is to build upon "third force"-i.e., existential-humanistic (E-H)-psychology. We depart from more traditional approaches in defining E-H psychology as the study of the existence of human minds and behaviors as emergent, interdependent properties of people's interactions with situations. This definition results from the enactive person-situation framework as situated within PIC.
As "nurtural" (rather than merely natural) kinds of human beings, people are complex and multifaceted. Any complete human science would require a complete theory of persons. Accomplishing the latter is the core objective of the present article. First, a feature list first laid out in [1] is summarized. This list is briefly critiqued. Next, the concept of person engaged with is expanded with the addition of nine novel features. These features follow from "holarchic psychoinformatics" [2], which was first propounded as a step forward from Sood's analytic treatment of third-force, existential-humanistic psychology. Person is formalized as a function of self and other; they are also granted to be romantic, existential, humanistic, chemical, environmental, hedonic and eudaimonic (happiness-seeking), conservative, and liberal. These are in addition to persons being physical, biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual. Sood's holarchic view of persons is enlarged. Psychologically, augmented cognition as an established field of research and practice begets the formal studies of augmented affect, augmented behavior, and augmented motivation. All such interdisciplinary fields are required for the human-computer interactionist's study of augmented mind, more broadly. Additionally, this article builds on the person-situation interaction framework formalized in [1]. It does so by adding a formalization following from the discussion of psychological situations put forward by Rauthmann, Sherman, and Funder in [3]. The formalization of psychological situations sets them as a function of cues, characteristics, and classes. Further psychological equations that follow from this article's formalisms of person and situation, when considered along with Sood's formulae for mind and behavior, are then presented.
This paper undertakes to answer the questions of how humanness is to be defined and computationally functionalized, as well as of how person-situation interaction is to be formalized mathematically. Complexity science and psychoinformatics are the two primary fields considered in addressing these questions. A novel "psychoinformatic complexity" (PIC) paradigm is outlined and argued to be an adequate one within which to operationalize modern-day Western humanness and person-situation interaction. The paper ends with a consideration of current PIC applications, including social media analytics and humanoid robotics.
