Requirement and Tools of its Realization
The intellect interprets the source of interoceptive sensations as a requirement. It does not depend on our will and is emotionally experienced under specific conditions that limit it to the finite state. Essentially, in satisfying a requirement, we find the correlation of modalities of different sensory classes: proprioceptive, exteroceptive and interoceptive. Acts of volition expressed in proprioceptive sensations create conditions for the mediated regulation of the interaction between exteroceptive and interoceptive sensations, thus our requirements reached. Therefore, whatever is labeled the object of requirement, is essentially the means of its satisfaction, which is in the process of reaching the relevant conditions.
The unity of a requirement, scenarios and methods of its realization constitutes a dynamic system. Separating and studying each element of the system, we formulate different aspects of this unity.
Requirement is experienced differently under different conditions, and it requires various means of its compensation.
A requirement is always urgently experienced in a specific subject reality, and it can not be directly represented on the mental map. It could be done only in the shape of its objects as realization conditions that can be represented in a sign system and accessible to the intellect. Thinking in this aspect is an act of volition realized by means of intellect within the bounds of the second signal system. The requirement for this process is not the violated equilibrium due to the deficiency of urgent survival tools in the now, but the fear of not having these means at one's disposal in the future. The ego's "striving" to safely satisfy its needs in the future as it is now, in the present, determines the motive to be realized in every type of subjective reality by the rational construction of some algorithms for satisfaction of the needs that the subject is aware of.
Conditions of self-awareness and world awareness are not only the objective principles of subject reality, but also the finished elements of the mental map that we perceive as unconditional reflexes. They make a completed link (a pattern of actions aimed at satisfaction of a certain requirement under definite conditions) between all sensory classes and an act of volition. "Inner" means of satisfying a requirement are defined as instincts and are the primary tools of satisfying a requirement.
If the subject uses only intuitive resources for need realization, then this type of requirement-satisfaction would be defined as "instrumental". The instrument here is a means of creating preliminary conditions for immediate satisfaction of a requirement. Thus, a mental process of construction serves a ground for creating various sorts of tools, and thus a stratified "subject-tool" system springs forth. Elements of this system can be both physical and social. The intellect and mental map themselves are such kinds of instruments.
Specification of requirements and, respectively, the conditions of their realization inevitably leads to the separation of new, more mediated and semantically complex properties (qualities) essential for world-description and orientation in it.
So, the subject's requirement is determined by the evolution (the subject of a different level) and realized in the whole subject reality as a unit (the subject of requirement immediately traces the admissible "subjects" of perception and "subjects" of volition), being specified in every type of subjective reality. It also requires individual means (objects) and actions aimed at reaching them in every type of subjective reality.
Evolution defines its requirements through the hierarchy of types of subjectness that are realized as motives in creative acts that point out different options for satisfaction of those requirements for each single subjectness type within every variety of subjective reality. The intellect interprets every creative act post factum as a situation of multiple choice out of a number of probabilistically defined options. If the options degrade into a unique definiteness, it can be fully determined in the subjective reality, the intellect associating it with a mechanistic act.
A motive as a certain set of options for requirement realization can be defined and researched only within the limits of a subjectness, which means only in a respective set of "parallel options" from different equivalent reference frames, because choice within one subjective reality (a definite subject) irrevocably changes that very system.
Requirement is presented for the subject in two forms: as a need in something and variants for its realization. Requirement as a selection activity is granted to the subject of volition, while necessity as a need, concerning the subject of perception. It is virtually impossible to disclose the entire subject's options and their probabilities that remain within the framework of subjective reality. Since a choice of options is not a rational act, but a creative one, it can not be apriori revealed by the mind. The reason for the subject of volition to chose on or another action variant in a specific subjective reality can not be grasped by the mind in the final chain of cause-and-effect relationships. Determination as a completely definite frequency of various options turns out to be both empirically and theoretically possible for the subjectness. The reasons for those exact options to appear require yet a study of the meta-subject.
Thus, only through the subjectness does it become possible to establish and probabilistically describe al the options for a discrete subject.
