A "Stance" is a particular organizing principle or "center" of a Logic, formal or informal, which is used as a perceptual or cognitive framework. Stances can be used singularly or in combination, and can include such examples as:
- Intentional Stance (What do I want for myself? What is my goal?)
- Social Stance (The modelling of the Intentional Stances of other parties in a Society)
- Metaphysical/Epistemological Stance (What is within my capability of knowledge and accomplishment, in view of my own existence as a natural phenomenon? What does it mean to be human, and what is my resulting grasp of reality?)
- Ontological Stance (An awareness of the observer's origins as a System within an environment, originating as a composition of disparate elements of that same environment in an earlier and simpler state)
- Existential Stance (The current context in depth; not just the physical environment, but any additional considerations of context as well)
- Homeostatic Stance (The implications of current and future well-being, or continuity of System organization)
- Genetic Stance
- Perceptual Stance
- Representational Stance
- Observational Stance
- Intuitive Stance (Everyday Automaticity)
- Executive Stance (Goals, Dreams, Vision, Leadership, and Innovation)
