1.2.4. A person’s system diagnostics is used to solve the Following tasks:
to promote the systematization of a great number of diagnostic techniques and the experimental data about a person into the uniform system of knowledge;
to investigate a person as an integrated entity consisting of continuous collection of different qualities (physiological, neurodinamic, psychological, social and others);
to raise the entirety of the diagnostics due to the spanning of the basic levels of a person’s hierarchical structure and the components of parity structure;
to raise the validity of methods of the diagnostics making exact the functional essence of investigated parameters;
to raise the quality of the interpretation of the results of investigations, making exact the role of individual diagnostic data to create the whole diagnostic picture;
to promote the solution of the problem of inter-discipline connections in scientific investigations and in practice;
to raise the scientific and practical level of specialists dealing with a person’s diagnostics, to widen their diagnostic outlook, to extend the arsenal of diagnostic methods.
§ 3. The hierarchical structure of a person’s
characteristics and its system organization
The above described principles and issues of system approach have found their incarnation in modern viewpoints on the structure of a person’s characteristics which is the object of system diagnostics.
1.3.1. The levels of hierarchical
structure of a person’s characteristics
In the process of evolution (philogenesis) the qualities of alive substance, and then the human qualities formed layers on each other, creating a vertical (hierarchical) structure. The similar stratums (levels) of qualities are also formed in the process of ontogenetic (individual intravital) development of a man. Such structure can be presented as a multistage frustum cone, showed on picture 1.
Somatic level is the basis of this structure. Here there are psychological and biological qualities which are thoroughly described in special literature.
A man’s body has a system organization. The whole somatic system includes a number of separate systems (digestion, circulation, respiration, metabolism, nervous system, etc.). Each of them, being a subsystem, consists of organs also dividing into some parts. For example, nervous system consists of central and vegetative systems. Central system includes the brain and spinal cord, and vegetative one includes – sympatic and parasympatic systems. Brain consists of right and left hemispheres, each of them includes cortex (neocortex) and subcortical derivations. In its turn, neocortex consists of six hierarchically corresponding stratums, each of which includes neuronic groups, consisting of separate neurons. Each of twenty billion neurons, forming human brain, has a composite structure. A composite hierarchical structure is also typical of other somatic systems of a man.
