Recent advances towards a meta-typology of human relationships

After less than four decades, the field of family therapy has largely abandoned the search for a typology of interaction between persons or between groups. Granted no single typology can conceivably fathom the hyper-dimensionality of human interaction. However, mankind's earliest recorded efforts to explicate the structures of human family systems are perceived by examining two of the earliest books known to man. These documents, The Book of Genesis of The Old Testament and the ancient Chinese Book of Changes or I Ching, can be viewed as loosely integrated modules of a single framework that help explain one another. The author suggests that these linked, family oriented sources also were the basis of modern symbolic logic and information (or switching) theory. Together they can provide the foundation of a hyper-dimensional meta-typology of human interaction. This could integrate interactions at and between levels of neuronal synapses and networks, the cerebral hemispheres, self and other, family and disparate social systems, and various human groups, national, racial, ethnic or religious.
