Object – simply a thing. An entity…
Subject – Subclass of object. Refers specifically to the the sentient properties of an Object…we as human beings are of importance here…
“Object” can make reference to both Subjects and the impersonal/mechanical properties of human beings as well
From these, we arrive at:
Subject to Object– Subject’s mechanical relationship to Object (Te)
**puts self/sentiments in accordance with mechanics of environment
Object to Subject – Object’s sentimental relationship to Subject (Fi)
**reaches full height of personal feeling
Subject to Subject – Subject’s sentimental relationship to Subject (Fe)
**gets best grasp on how humans relate to each other sentimentally
Object to Object – Object’s mechanical relationship to Object (Ti)
**best position for gaining impartial, detached knowledge of mechanics. If the self does enter the equation here, it is only considered as an impersonal object
Extraverted Judgement -The extraverted judgement functions demonstrate the “Subjects” as active agents orienting themselves to the parameters of their environments to have influence
-Subject to Object: Subject seeks to orient himself to the mechanics of his environment to have impact
-Subject to Subject: Subject seeks to orient himself to the sentiments of his environment to have intended impact on the sentiments of others
Introverted Judgment – The introverted judgement functions demonstrate the “Subjects” as passive agents, instead showing concern for how objects impact one another
-Object to Subject: Subject observes the sentimental impact objects have on the self
-Object to Object: As said, subject doesn’t even factor himself into the equation or if he does, regards himself as a mechanical object. He’s focused on observing how objects mechanically impact one another.
Feeling – The Feeling functions are concerned with how Subjects are sentimentally impacted
Thinking – The Thinking functions are concerned how Objects are mechanically impacted
