Abstract: The psychological construct, apparently extremely complex, has two essential components, materialized in an undetermined component, represented by the psychological tonus (psychological energy) and a mixed construct, comprising an area of potentiality and another one, material, of physiological nature. The mixed construct has the role to modulate the psychological tonus in a purely individualized manner. The adequacy is subdued to the satisfaction of an external sense of personality transformation, taking into account the experience of life transcendence.
The architecture of the psychological construct of the kind that has already been described above is justified by the existence of a unique consciousness responsible for the supply with essential liquid represented by the psychological energy. Thus, the reason for the existence of physiological construct is determined by the presence of a unique consciousness, capable to identify and value it through the supplied psychological energy.
But what is the reason of the generating of psychological tonus? The existence at the end of the explanatory chain of a super – consciousness without consciousness might appear bizarre, at least at the intuitive level.
The potentiality area holds patterns of manifestation of the tensional dynamics. The patterns describe models of unaltered dynamics of tensional states. In this register, the tensional state is switched off from the filter of analysis correlated with other tensional states.
Two questions need to be asked referring to the tensional states. Why are there tensional states? Have the tensional (potential) psychological states a consciousness?
