● The Pessimum Energy function lacks proper energy supply and is
unable to solve complicated, or even [simple] recurring problems.
● It is unable to perform under large loads.
● Its only purpose is to launch a new cycle of psychic activity by
turning on the first function: position 4 activates 1 and 8 activates 5.
● Psychic dynamics flow naturally in the direction from a larger
energy supply to the smaller one.

Why “Model G” is arranged differently from “Model 80s” AKA “Model A”: Ausra (socionika founder) made the claim that socion develops thanks to relations of Social Benefit: “Relations of
Social Benefit supply him with cutting-edge human experience and enable the mobilization of the most developed elements of the psyche of each person for the use in accordance to the emerging
needs of society, like focusing intellectual energy into a sharp ray [into a focused laser beam].” - translated by physics teacher Andriy in 2019. His additions = now black/blue italics in brackets.
● Externalities quartet activated by external For Energy Metrics (“Dimensions”) see the fine print in the Inflation-Avoidance block. Dr G continues in the paper ‘2012 Teachers Round Table Thesis’: “So why does the psyche of an
individual line up differently? It is logical to suggest that internally the psyche is moved by the [Social] Benefit, not a Revision [Supervision]. Or we we can make the following conclusion [BV:
stimulation of the function in the Launcher syllogistic inference to be more accurate] that, on a social level, the energy component has a priority over the information component. Experiments on the rings of [Social] Benefit by Shechter
and Kobrinskaya showed that there is an activation within a group, increasing levels of activity. Once this group gets activated members feel and act as one. According to the same experiments,

● Functions of this block provide stability to a person operating in society. Without these functions,
it is impossible to operate normally in society if the social mission is not performed for any reason.
● 2012 paper cont’d: “Such groups tend to break apart. Then why should interactions between individual functions within the framework get in the way of productivity and extinguish the energy of
the psyche?” Dr Gulenko thinks informationists (eg Model A-ers) fail to explain what Model G explains ie how “the type indeed functions differently under various circumstances”.
● “... functions are positioned in accordance to their roles in the psyche to solve life’s problems.” Paraphrase: Positioning of functions is guided by two attributes:
(1) “The Energy Power of a function” and (2) “The Radius of a function’s operation (distance) eg longer range Externalities (upper row) vs shorter range Internalities (lower
row).” “However, each of these actions (not to mention the implementation of the solution) requires certain energy costs. In addition, each form of mental activity (i.e. function) requires a certain level of activity, which means energy costs.
It is the laws and dynamics of these processes that describe the type of energy metabolism.” - from an article titled (via translation): ‘Sociotype, TIM, TEM - connection and differences of concepts in socionics’.
