The Attachment Formation Personality Spectrum Ensemble is a predominantly Instinctual (genetically driven) Filter enabling instincts, perceptions, responses, and urges driving a spectrum of behaviors manifesting themselves as approval, affinity, bonding, devotion.

The Attachment Ensemble itself is made up of an ensemble of functions. For example:

• The Compatibility Seeking Personality Filter
• The Indoctrination Filter
• The Exposure Impact Filter
• The Emotional Contagion Filter
• etc.

Each of the Attachment Filters, which altogether make up the Attachment Ensemble, are likely themselves ensembles of Filters or other Ensembles.

For ease of discourse, we will often refer to the Attachment Formation Personality Spectrum Ensemble as the Attachment Filter. When unspecified, we are referring abstractly to the entire Attachment Ensemble. When specified, as in the ensembles or filters listed above, we are referring to that specific ensemble or filter.

It is quite likely that in the future, as more is understood from a validated, scientific perspective, we may refer to the entirety of the Attachment Filter as the Attachment Tapestry.

Context matters.

With regard to personality, ConserveLiberty's primary interest is to focus on the biological (and thus genetic) components that have responsibility for the mechanisms of action (MOAs) leading to the behavior and perception phenotypes that the Filters enable.

While primarily organic (genetic and physiological) in infrastructure, multiple things fall out of the fact that Environment plays a significant roll with the way the Attachment Ensemble manifests itself.

• It is more difficult to uncover all the biological components that create the Attachment Ensemble / Tapestry. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of individual components ultimately responsible for our Attachment phenotypes.
  
  
• Responsible and carefully exersized Scientific Skepticism will be important in order to accurately understand the "Attachment Ensemble" machine.
