Refining the definitions of Sensing through Model B2

For those who have checked the elemental definitions of Model B2, it is quite apparent that Sensing is considered in terms of how to work and conduct projects. This aspect is notoriously absent, however, in most people's idea of Si. I consider it pertinent, thus, to redefine Si such that it can be best fit into my proposed framework.

Si is not about sensory experiences, however pleasant they are, not about psychological comfort in general; or at least, it's not limited to that. To make a good contrast, it is useful to look first into Se, which is identifying the most impactful actions -whether on the social or practical sphere- and how to effect a change in the environment (here I'd like to pause and differentiate this from T+, which recognizes where potential lies, rather than how to enforce the structure in question). Si is unconcerned about making an effect per se, rather, it recognizes personal calls for confort and then satisfies them by recognizing which aspects could improve personal experience.

To further explain the difference between Sensing through the quadras, I'll take the Gulenko sub-elements, of which I believe these are the most vaguely explained. Si-, in its original definition (as Si+, back when Gulenko preferred using Process/Result signs), is only partially true. As per my above definition, all Sensing is crafted. However, Si- has that S- focus on making consistent results, and thus will seek to use detailed methods to make themselves more comfortable. This is unlike Si+, which consideres such projects as a potentially or actually interfering with their sense of comfort insofar as to how much they might demand. Deltas, valuing Accuracy then, will seek to work in the moment to suit what right now will provide them the most comfort, as any large S- structure is likely to only respond to a few variables and can't come close to the actual reality of human experience. As for Se, Se- is probably the best defined, combining the S- focus on big structures with the Se focus on making a difference, and thus it can be identified with exerting control in general. Se+, meanwhile, will focus its efforts through what is required in a specific instance, regardless of what any higher structure demands. It is, then not totally accurate to define it as just dealing with superiors and maintaining the psyche's will against pressures, but rather as working against anything that might limit the scope of action to be applied.
