Si Locality

Si is a function that expands its registration of an object to include its temporal totality (Pi), the larger episode or theme to which it belongs. It localizes (S) an event within its historical context, retaining its chronological fidelity and preserving its unique details. The episode in question is not conflated with other concepts that are not linear or directly connected. Instead, it preserves its original form in a discrete and time-bound manner. If the object is an abstract idea, the idea will be archived with precise properties and fixed conceptual boundaries.

Narrativism

The Si user lives and views life through narratives, understanding how things are connected through a chain of past events and how the present is the most recent moment in a long link of intrinsically interdependent events. Because of this orientation towards the roots of things, all the more value is added to something by knowing its background. A great richness is felt by learning how a city came to be what it is or how the shops in town became famous. Through these anecdotes, the Si user's comprehension of life multiplies, and great joy is felt in learning how the "here and now" fits into a much broader context, leading Si users to be avid readers and storytellers. They may sit at the feet of their grandparents and listen to old tales and later come to tell their own. They may particularly enjoy "based on a true story" films and appreciate learning about history --including their own. They may be elated to learn that their great-great-grandfather was a duke or king and may voyage on an ancestral quest driven by a search for identity, an answer to "Who am I?" that is rooted in concrete reality. The Si user often stumbles into subjects such as world events, geography, and anthropology to understand "what is this place, really?" They may be driven into an academic direction and become bookworms or librarians. More than a few Si users are also paleontologists, a domain driven heavily by the quest to discover the links between the earth as it was before and how it is today. The more complete a picture can be, the more grounded the Si user will feel in their paradigm and place in the world.

Encyclopedia

As they go about life, the Si user will also passively accumulate mountains of information from everyday occurrences, which, over time, form a vast mental archive of details. A few Si users may be able to mention what they were doing four weeks ago on a Tuesday afternoon. Others may not have their talent fixed in chronological time but be able to recite the names of all the past presidents, all the states, or the actresses in old films. They may like to watch "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" and enjoy trivia games such as Jeopardy. Some Si users are generalists who know a little about many things. Others are specialists who know everything about one field of study. If they are into camping or hiking, they may have memorized all the herbs and flora of their specific corner of the world. On a backpacking trip, they may call out: "See that? That is poison oak; do not touch that, and this one over there, you see the white stripes? That means it is ok to eat." Little factoids of this nature will follow them at all times, and those who live with heavy Si users will note their voluminous body of knowledge.

Backstory & Context

The Si user will be thorough when sharing information, intrinsically understanding that knowledge requires a proper context or backstory to be meaningfully received by others. Whenever explaining, the Si user will tend to append the appropriate information to each explanation, which can then be fully unpacked and give the desired understanding. Just as the Si user would expect to be mistaken if they extrapolated a trend from missing data, they will expect others also to misread their meanings if forced to fill in the blanks they leave in their words. They will be very thorough in this manner, taking the extra steps to make their personal story, argument, idea, or thought relevant and meaningful by painting a fuller picture of the ideas surrounding them and embedding them. However, the Si user often overdoes it, expecting less context to be understood than it already is. They may lay down seven datasets before conveying their core idea, only to realize the same thought could have been relayed with three. This may lead others to view the Si user as rambly, perhaps repeating information already known or unnecessarily inflating the conversation. Over time, the Si user may discover where the right balance is and be able to supply just the right amount of information for any given situation.

Indexing & Modularity

The Si user tends to be particular with their data because they will naturally store their information internally in discrete packages that can be accessed and woven together independently. Like a shelf of books or a bin full of old trinkets --if the Si user is very disjointed-- they will draw out resources from memory as an occasion calls for them. However, each dataset is its separate mental object. There is a tendency to compartmentalize memories, datasets, schemas, and ideas, indexing them separately even if they belong to a broader whole. This does not mean the Si user can only view reality through a narrow frame. However, at any given moment, the frame they are looking at is understood from its appropriate context. The Si user will have a very modular grasp of the world, experiencing reality as multiple schemas suspended in superposition and always responding to reality from the most adjacent dataset/model/idea in their large reservoir at any given time, which may cause them to grow into polymaths, as they may wear many hats and be a bit of an amateur astronomer, linguistic hobbyist, bird watcher, dog whisperer, interior decorator, gardener, etc.

Collections

Given the narrativism, the Si user will have a soft side for preserving antiquity. A fascination will exist for the ancient, which is not to say they are attracted to "old" things for the sake of it, but because through them, they can trace the lineage of the world. An old lamp is not just an old lamp but a symbol of an object that permeated hundreds of houses back in the 1920s. It is a token of a time, but more specifically, it is "the very lamp" that so-and-so touched and used. Via this literal object, there is direct contact with a specific narrative now gone, acting as a time-traveling experience. The totem gives them vicarious access to the perspective of someone who once saw and held this same thing in the same manner. Collecting coins, vintage records, bugs, and the like may be the favorite hobby of a Si user. Having "the full collection" of a thing brings exceptional satisfaction. However, this collecting habit can also lead to specific real-world disarrays. They may be prone to packrat behavior, storing mountains of childhood trinkets and filling garages with unused boxes. Their house may be decorated with knickknacks, often hung up on walls, each a keepsake or symbol of a particular time/place or experience.

Nostalgia

The Si user will grow very personally attached to events, people, and places they encounter. Even though a better, newer replacement for a broken bicycle is available, they may reject it and keep the one they have known and experienced life through. Fond memories are deeply cherished and preserved both mentally and physically. If the memories pertain to specific people, they may never disconnect from those old friends, often attending alum reunions or arranging periodic meetings. However, this nostalgia can cause problems with new relationships, as they may always viscerally feel like their best times and moments are behind them. They may not admit it aloud, but one might feel that nothing can match the feeling tone of those special events now epitomized in their subconscious, which can leave new friends or potential lovers injured and neglected; their affections always second place to an impossible ideal. It may feel like they were interfacing with a human stuck in a previous era and not truly "present" with them here and now. The Si user's tendency to look to the past can cause them to struggle emotionally and spiritually with moving forward, leading to decade-long grudges, bitterness, or emotional hangups. Moreover, surely, Si makes unrequited love all the more prolonged and difficult to forget. In the extreme form, the Si user may feel that they can never replace what has been lost, that what is past is gone forever, not only as a tangible reality but as a potentiality in themselves. They may refuse to remarry or never again own a dog after their special companion passes away.

Caution & Skepticism

Like their information communication, the Si user will generally approach life with prudence, skepticism, and caution. They are not swiftly taken away by grandiose ideas, by the glitter and flair of things untested or unknown. Magical thinking and things that feel too good to be true are avoided. In general, the Si user may feel the world is filled with false promises and uncertainty, causing them to be doubtful and incremental in their approach to life. Over time, they grow familiar with the general range of situations that constitute life. From this, they map out a subconscious rhythm they live by, which will cause the Si user to be a very stable and dependable person as the Si function encourages a modest, measured, and relaxed existence, avoiding the chaos of risks and spontaneity. However, their skepticism is often more visceral and impressionistic than technical, sometimes expressed in statements like "I just do not trust it." When something does not add up, the Si user will feel a misalignment between the situation and how they have come to understand the world to work. They will use this felt sense to steer clear of the suspicious and tread paths with the least probability of peril. Their temperance and hesitation will act as a shield against the ever-changing winds of the world, allowing them to plant a seed that may slowly grow with effort and time.

-Behaviors Under Stress

Paranoia

The Si user's initially natural risk aversion can grow to an excessive degree, causing them to anticipate the worst outcomes of situations and irrationally avoid things for some unfounded but looming fear. If a family member suggests a vacation in Malibu, their response may be, "What if we get stuck in a weather storm?" A request to buy a used item at a flea market may be met with "What if you get aids from that..?!" These objections may be only vaguely possible or entirely impossible. The vacation spot may never experience storms, and a given disease may not spread through the avenue they are avoiding. In this sense, Si's paranoia will differ from Ni's more thematic and karmic fatalism. Si's fear will be tied down to Ne's real-time and situational intuition. On the fly, the Si user will fabricate objections in a scatter-short format as their unconscious Ne speculates wildly into the unknown. If they are politically inclined, they may suspect the forces of the world are orchestrating devastation, loosely associating facts to construct narratives that align with their felt sense. A heavy anxiety will seep over them where almost nothing is felt as certain anymore. This paranoia will lead the Si user to stick firmly to the narrow band of what they know and not leave its perimeter at any cost, which can lead to a stagnation of personal or professional progress as the Si user refuses to take necessary risks in order to guide their life on a more fruitful path. Business opportunities may be declined, friendships may be kept at a distance, and the doors of their house may be shut with double locks.

Dogmatism

Amidst the chaos before them, the distressed Si users will want to feel that there is something solid they can depend on, which will lead them inevitably to external explanations that cohesively make sense of the conditions of our world. The distressed Si user does not have the most confidence in their assessments and judgments. Moreover, having lost their paradigm's stability, they seek refuge in something more consistent than the wild speculations that plague them. It, therefore, becomes important for them that any given explanation be entirely comprehensive. If they can see the sense in the explanation after an initial round of questioning, they will have no trouble fashioning their whole life paradigm around it. Suddenly, stability is regained through this anchor, and their anxieties are abated in understanding life's conditions. Whether for a simple philosophy, an ideology, or a religion - the distressed Si user will be among the most loyal and faithful in the group. Having latched their sense of identity to this community or paradigm, they nurture and protect it with the same care they would for themselves. However, over time, this investment in their belief system can cause them to feel defensive and resistant to criticism. Once they establish a trustworthy belief, they do not easily question it and may even refuse to converse with others about its reasons. In the Si user's mind, the topic has been settled; the facts have been evaluated, and they have passed through their inquisition phase. It becomes important to the Si user that the questioning process does not drag on forever, causing them to have a cut-off point after which they have fixed their mind on the issue, and little may be done to change it.
