4.0 LEVELS AND STRUCTURES
Levels
and structures are
possible thanks to the correct functioning of instances. We will
understand this better when we consider some malformations. We call a
"column" the malformation produced when the Orientor's
greatest numeric weight of members rests on a second instance, with one
second instance member having a more ample line than those of his or
her peers.
Such a column would be
an extreme case, but it frequently occurs that just three or four
members of the second instance carry the total structural weight.
4.1 The
Orientor's main task is to facilitate the creation of second and even
third instances, working in an open "fan".
In other words, he or she strives for an equal
sharing of the structural weight among the majority of his or her
structure. If this does not occur, it will also affect the promotion of
the Orientor, because in order for the process to be correct, he or she
must attend to both the numbers of members and the
configuration.
If a structure continues
to develop but does not correct a malformation of columns, then the
Orientor must initiate a new, parallel structure to the previous
one in order to compensate this difficulty.
The recourse of
"de-columnizing" or artificial fanning out, that is,
distributing existing members between those who do not have as large
numbers, apart from opposing the letter and the spirit of the Norms,
will undermine the process of the whole structure. experience shows
that those who have not built structures themselves lose everything
that is ascribed to them. Also, those who lose part of their structure
by having it translated from them to others will be discouraged in
their work.
Because of all this, an
Orientor who values being such must correct such deficiencies by
initiating another, parallel, process and abstaining from all
compensatory manipulation.
4.2 We
must attend to a structure's conditions of origin because
these conditions form a strong determination that will act over the
long run of time. In other words, the first people who form a group
will tend to work in the future with people who are similar to those
they encountered as peers.
Understanding this
problem of the conditions of origin, an Orientor who perceives this
kind of deficiency in his or her structure needs to correct things by
opening a parallel structural line with a composition different from
that of the first structure.
As seen above, there are
at least two cases in which it is recommended to initiate a parallel
process:
a) In the case of a
column;
b) In the case of
unfavorable conditions of origin which will continue in time.
