Chart 7: Miscellaneous Developmental Lines

A shorter chart correlating several less-central developmental models against the basic-structures spine, plus a second table (a different row spine — see Chart 1 for why these don't force-merge) correlating modal-experience, empathy, and gender/affect models.

Transcribed and cross-checked against the source page images (library/2000-integral-psychology-images/00046.jpg-00047.jpg); draft, not yet independently verified by a second pass. Some cells in the source are sparse or ambiguously positioned at this image resolution — marked "—" rather than guessed.

A different, seven-level spine (Chinen's "modal experience" model), correlated with Benack's empathy stages and Wilber's own gender-identity and affect columns (the gender-identity and affect columns partly overlap with Chart 1's gender/worldview table).

Modal experience (Chinen)Empathy (Benack)Gender identity (Wilber)Affect (Wilber)
——Morphological-genetic givensReactivity, sensations
——UndifferentiatedPhysiostates: touch, temperature, pleasure, pain
——Differentiated basic-gender identityProtoemotions: tension, fear, rage, satisfaction
1. EnactmentUnwilling to assume others' perspectiveGender conventionality (norms)2° emotions: anxiety, anger, wishing, liking, safety
2. ReflectionUnable to assume others' perspectiveGender consistency3° emotions: love, joy, depression, hate, belongingness
3. Representation, pragmaticWilling to assume others' perspective—4° emotions: universal affect, global justice, care, compassion, all-human love, worldcentric altruism
5. HermeneuticAble to assume others' perspectiveGender androgyny (trans-differentiated)—
6. Attunement——Awe, rapture, all-species love, compassion
7. Enlightenment—Archetypal gender union (tantra)Ananda, ecstasy, love-bliss, saintly commitment
——Beyond genderInfinite freedom-release, bodhisattvic compassion; one taste

Note: the source numbers this sequence 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 — stage 4 is not printed on the source page (not a transcription omission).
