GFO Dimension

Generative Valence

Generative Valence decides whether field effects return agency or capture it. It keeps charisma from contaminating morality.

Diagnostic question

Does the person's influence increase or decrease other people's agency?

The moral razor: generated aliveness versus borrowed aliveness.

High

People leave more themselves, with sharper taste, more courage, and agency that survives outside the field.


Low

People orbit, perform, outsource reality-testing, or feel alive only near the powerful person.


Shadow

Sentimental goodness claims that are not backed by portable agency.

Practices

How this signal trains.

  • Ask whether people become more capable away from you.
  • Design exits, dissent, and independent reality-testing into the field.
  • Distinguish warmth, excitement, and compliance from agency.

Field Predator

High Field Power + Low Generative Valence

Gravity without agency. You feel alive near me and less free after.
