Triadic Psychological Architecture and Triadic Balance Framework: A Theoretical Account of Human Motivation, Regulatory States, and the Conditions for Motivational Integration (Main Paper)
Theoretical framework proposes novel model of human motivation and regulatory states, suggesting pathways for integration.
Key Points

Introduction of the Triadic Balance Framework and the iSPAA Default Hypothesis.
Creation of testable predictions and falsification criteria for the framework.
Identification of three distinct domains: Self-Preservation/Appetitive Acquisition, Affective Empathy/Care For Others, and Epistemic Curiosity/Analysis.
Establishment of a global regulatory state affecting motivational integration.
