Implanting Variable Logic into a Study of Enculturation Processes: Recommending a Two- Tier Approach for the Study of Enculturation Processes

The objective of this paper is to extend the concept of variable logic, a concept that we had mooted and proposed in a previous paper published earlier in the year 2025, and to extend it for the study of enculturation processes, and indeed acculturation processes as well which have other downstream applications such as the study of social and cultural change. To do this, we must emphasize and reiterate, that the ethnography of enculturation will remain forever and for always, the vehicular medium based on which the entire framework of enculturation studies will be carried out. Variable logic will also be used to construct thought worlds, world views, and determine mind-orientations as well in different types of individuals. In order to study this, inductive approaches and nomothetic approaches needs to be followed, along with the sociological ninety-ten rule. This paper is also integrated with our previous concepts such as hierarchical analysis, cultural frame of reference, cross cultural frame of reference, identity theory, ideologies, cultural attributes, symbiotic approaches to sociocultural change, the horizontal vertical lateral factors model, besides other concepts such as the psychic unity of mankind, tabula rasa, associationism, endo, meso, exo environments, etc. We therefore propose a two-tier approach; a study of information received by individuals and how it is processed through variable logic. We also add a couple of unique cases studies to provide more meat to this paper. We do then hope, anticipate and expect that this paper will become an important paper in twenty-first century social science with a large number of downstream uses and applications.

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to extend the concept of variable logic, a concept that we had mooted and proposed in a previous paper published earlier in the year 2025, and to extend it for the study of enculturation processes, and indeed acculturation processes as well which have other downstream applications such as the study of social and cultural change. To do this, we must emphasize and reiterate, that the ethnography of enculturation will remain forever and for always, the vehicular medium based on which the entire framework of enculturation studies will be carried out. Variable logic will also be used to construct thought worlds, world views, and determine mind-orientations as well in different types of individuals. In order to study this, inductive approaches and nomothetic approaches needs to be followed, along with the sociological ninety-ten rule. This paper is also integrated with our previous concepts such as hierarchical analysis, cultural frame of reference, cross cultural frame of reference, identity theory, ideologies, cultural attributes, symbiotic approaches to sociocultural change, the horizontal vertical lateral factors model, besides other concepts such as the psychic unity of mankind, tabula rasa, associationism, endo, meso, exo environments, etc. We therefore propose a two-tier approach; a study of information received by individuals and how it is processed through variable logic. We also add a couple of unique cases studies to provide more meat to this paper. We do then hope, anticipate and expect that this paper will become an important paper in twenty-first century social science with a large number of downstream uses and applications.
