Glad you asked. The financial category began as a subset of Physical. I still think of it as such, but since it isn't physiological it seemed to warrant its own line.

A more psychoanalytic theory might be that I am not yet ready to fully embrace my "financial self". I have some soul work to do in that regard...

i'd argue Finance is not a component unto itself but rather an intention zone of the cognitive + the attribute strength. we are talking about input and output (earning and spending (displacement, perhaps)), which requires work, and work is the product of force - can we call force "strength" in this model? if so, then, Finance is one more thing: the management of money, which is a cognitive activity...i should hope.
just a thought or two - peace.

See, now your getting all actuarial and stuff.

But seriously, C-Bob, you've posed a viable picture of something I've only been able to intuit. I would very much like to hear more from you on this piece of the puzzle.

"Financial" truly is the "bottom line" when it comes to the reality of Measurement of Momentum in any of the 16 dimensions you've lined out. I've read Jacob Needlman's book, Money and Meaning, and found it particuarily insightful into this power which permeates the culture we swim in today.

That's why I've included "Money" as one of my "Order of the M-5" tenets. It's the measuring stick. How would one know if one was achieving "balance" in life without a set of scales???
