Summary
Mindset Agency Theory delivers a formal trait psychology linked with Frieden‘s (1998) formulaic Extreme Physical Information (EPI). Recalling that there are two types of agency, cognition and affect/emotion that interact to create behaviour, both are deemed to be adaptive complex systems with trait movements that satisfy non-linear dynamics – such dynamics usefully described by Levin (2002). The intention here is to deliver only a snapshot of what a formal psychohistory might deliver by exploring the relationship between the interactive meso agents of a general formative trait that vie to attract that it.
