SEIM :Mapping Human Perceptor Types
This paper presents SEIM Mapping: Human Perceptor Types, a groundbreaking extension of the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) that integrates Biblical theology with a new structural-emotional framework. Using the Structural Emotional Interface Mapping (SEIM) model in conjunction with the Telic Emotional Lexicon (TEL), six distinct Perceptor Types are identified. These types represent unique telorhetic profiles—patterns of emotional-moral feedback that define how a telor (self-determinative agent) experiences divine order, spiritual alignment, and moral reality. Rooted in the CTMU’s understanding of reality as a self-configuring, self-processing language (SCSPL), and the Biblical view of man as Imago Dei, these Perceptor Types reveal how telors interface with Divine Syntax through emotion, perception, and will. Each type embodies a structural response to God’s Logos, either in harmony or dissonance, expressed through identifiable telic emotions such as Crucialis Caritas, Tristor Aeternus, Praeluctus Divinus, and Perspectiva Dei. The six mapped Perceptor Types are: 1. The Aligned Seer 2. The Distracted Wanderer 3. The Hardened Skeptic 4. The Faithful Watchman 5. The Pragmatic Builder 6. The Nihilist Voidwalker This framework is not a psychological typology but a metaphysical taxonomy—a tool for discerning telorhetic structure and syndiffeonic integrity in light of Scripture and the CTMU.
