When people change fundamentally, there is always the same structure – Internal Function Theory Part 2

Those who change and those who don't

Why does the gap widen when we live the same amount of time?

There are people who shine like a different person the moment they change jobs.

Some people achieve incredible feats with intense focus following a breakup.

There are people who, simply by going abroad, find that dormant abilities suddenly awaken and start working.

Conversely, there are also people who stay in the same environment and steadily achieve results.

What is this difference?

Function Re-listing - The True Nature of Change

When internal priorities shift, people feel they have "changed."

In the first part of Functional Theory of the Human Being, we talked about the "groups of functions" within humans.

The theme of the latter half is the "moment those functions are sorted".

This is "function reordering."

People can't always be the same person. Environments change. We have new encounters. Values transform. The resolution of our future suddenly sharpens. In those moments, the priorities of our internal functions drastically shift.

The function that was previously the main one steps aside, and a function that had been dormant suddenly comes to the forefront.

This is the essence of the moment when a person feels "changed."

People often say, "People can change," but that's not entirely accurate. What changes is the arrangement of functions within a person. The raw materials are present from the start. It's just that by changing the order, they appear to become someone entirely different.

High-frequency repeaters and low-frequency repeaters

Which type are you? That self-awareness will change everything.

What's interesting is that some people experience this re-sorting frequently, while others rarely do.

High-frequency re-rollers experience life in a spiral. They tend to be out of sync with their surroundings and can feel lonely, but they are constantly evolving. They are accustomed to yesterday's self not aligning with today's self, and find their place within that instability.

Low-frequency requesters delve deeply into a single structure. There's an aesthetic of accumulation. They are artisans, the type to master one path. However, they can also be fragile in the face of crisis. Their function arrays can become too fixed, unable to withstand unexpected pressures.

It's not about which is good or bad. What's important is "knowing" which tendency you have.

Function Transmigration - When Computational Structures Themselves Transform

Growth is not a change in coefficients. It is a change of functions.

And when the pressure on the function's flexibility—its plasticity—reaches its limit, "function reincarnation" occurs.

This isn't a phenomenon where a function within oneself is rewritten, but rather a phenomenon where the function itself changes into another function.

It's not that the coefficients change or that terms increase. The calculation structure itself transforms. What was linear becomes nonlinear. Addition becomes multiplication.

It's called biological reincarnation, but what lies beyond that? It's also a story of growth and evolution.

Calmly assess the functions within yourself and continuously deepen how you apply them to your thoughts and actions. That is what it means to face yourself. It connects to facing your own functions.
