Introduction to Halx

Narrative Commentary

Halx is a personal analysis encompassing sociological and psychological interactions between environment and relationships. The core concept builds on George Herbert Mead's Theory of Self, in which an individual's identity, or "self" is largely constructed by external factors. Combining this with behaviorial pyschology, Halx showcases the ways conditioning manifests in different roles. The sub-concept that motivates conditioning is Conflict Theory. Scarcity in resources creates struggles within the social order. Power imbalance is maintained through the clan system and religion.

As we delve deeper, there's a pattern in how interpersonal relationships interplay with maladaptive schemas and attachment theory. Attachment theory explores how bonds in childhood shape future adult relationships while maladaptive schemas refers to thought/behavior patterns that manifest in childhood and continue to affect them later in life (trauma, neglect, esteem). The most common forms of attachment displayed throughout the series are filial, limerent, and fatuous.
