Mental-4-Element Framework: A Four-Element Coordinate Model of Human Psychology

This work proposes the Mental-4-Element Framework, a four-element coordinate model of human psychology integrating Emotion, Sensitivity, Social Norm Dependency, and Reason-Based Thinking. The framework is presented as a hypothetical and integrative model for the structural visualization of human psychological functioning, not as a diagnostic or clinical tool. It connects perspectives from developmental psychology, social psychology, cognitive psychology, affective science, sensation/perception research, neuroscience, and philosophy. ※The development and refinement of this framework involved dialogue with multiple AI systems. ※A companion paper examining the complementary relationships with existing theories is available at: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19184932
