Mental Process: Intro + Resources
This catalog contains a list of mental processes that we or others experience.
POV type: 3rd person – plural
This is the plural form of the 3nd person perspective. English: We would say “Their view is (instead of “His/her/it’s view is”) Integral Math: 3p * 8 — translates to “All 8 of them”
POV type: 2nd person – plural
This is the plural form of the 2nd person perspective. English: We would say “Y’all’s view is (instead of “Your view is”) ‘Y’all’ is colloquial Southern US English, but it expresses this point Integral Math: 2p * 5 — translates to “All 5 of y’all”
POV type: 1st person – plural
This is the plural form of a perspective. English: We would say “Our view is” (instead of “My view is” Integral Math: 1p * 5 — translates to “Us, of 5 members”
POV type: 1st on 3rd person
Our personal perspective of a chosen subject. English: Phrases that capture include: “My view of him.” Integral Math notation: 1p x 3p
POV type: 1st on 2nd person
Our personal perspective of the person we’re interacting with. English: Phrases that capture include: “My view of you”. Integral Math notation: 1p x 2p
POV type: 1st on 1st person
The 1st person perspective of him or herself. English: Phrases that capture include: “My view of myself”. Integral Math notation: 1p x 1p
POV type: 3rd person
The 3rd person perspective refers to the body or mind of the person we’re speaking about. English: It is connotated by the word “him”, “her”, or “it”. Integral Math: The shorthand for 3rd person perspective is “3p”.

POV type: Intro + Resources
Perspectives / POV catalogs are collections of the various perspectives that one or many can have, and the various permutations possible. Normally, we speak or own a worldview from one or maybe two POV’s. However, new, thorough understandings of our collective require we account for as many POVs as possible. This outline is strongly influenced…
Integral Math Basics – Plural

Below is a comparision between singular and plural: 1p: me1p*pl: us 2p: you2p*pl: you (plural) 3p: George Bush3p*pl: The previous White House Administration Singular and plural are stratightforward concepts….
Integral Math Basics: Experience of "x"
MPP part 4: Experience of: “x” (draft) Originally posted on March 3, 2009 on IntegralMath.com In this article, I discuss the concept of experience of, or interaction with two or more persons or perspectives. This is represented by the symbol of “x”, analogous to the multiplication sign in conventional mathematics. In a sense, it is…
Integral Math Basics: Our Vantage Points: “1p(1p)”, “2p(1p)”, “3p(1p)”
IMPP part 3: Our Vantage Points: “1p(1p)”, “2p(1p)”, “3p(1p)” (draft) Article Originally published March 3, 2009 for IntegralMath.com We’ve identified the basic persons and basic assertions of Integral Mathematics of Primordial Perspectives (IMPP) in the last 2 posts. Now let’s examine the concept of vantage points. The easiest way to define our vantage point is whose eyes we…
Integral Math Basics – “1-p”, “2-p”, “3-p”
Article originally published March 2, 2009 for IntegralMath.com In my last article on IMPP (Integral Mathematics of Primordial Perspectives), I described the three basic ‘persons’ that all of us as sentient beings can be broken down into. (Of course, I must add, the philosophy as to what constitutes a sentient being will be discussed at…
