The Libido Personality Spectrum Tapestry is an essential Cognitive (and non-Cognitive) Function enabling instincts, perceptions, responses, and urges driving a spectrum of behaviors manifesting themselves as interest, desire, lust, attraction, sexual arousal, pursuit, and conquest.

The Libido Tapestry itself is made up of an Ensemble of functions. For example:

• The Sexual Libido Personality Ensemble
• The Ambition Libido Personality Ensemble
• The Aggression Libido Personality Ensemble
• The Destruction Libido Personality Ensemble
• etc.

Each of the Libido Ensembles, which altogether make up the Libido Tapestry, are themselves ensembles of Filters or other Ensembles.

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

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.

However, all living organisms that interact with and adapt to their environments are "learning organisms". (And they all DO adapt or else their lineages perish.) Thus, all of "What We Are" is influenced to some degree by the environments we find ourselves needing to survive within. We adapt.

Multiple things fall out of the fact that Environment plays a significant roll with the Libido Tapestry:

• It is more difficult to uncover all the biological components that create the Libido Tapestry. There are thousands.
  
  
• Some clinically significant manifestations of the Libido Tapestry may often be due to environmental factors alone. Many times not. Skepticism is important in order to accurately understand the "Libido Tapestry" machine.
  
  
• In the individual cases where environment plays the predominant role it may also be the case that changes in the environment, or changes in the way one decides to respond to his or her environment may be all that is necessary to manage one's Libido Tapestry status in ways that are both productive and comfortable to live and engage with.
  
  
• In other individual cases where environment plays an insignificant role in determining how one experiences and expresses their Libido, attempts to alter (or, rehabilitate) one's Libido Tapestry status may be unproductive, moot.

Be careful. Understand your strengths and limitations. Be skeptical of your understanding of what you think you want to be doing, and why. And be grateful for the advantages your Libido Tapestry endows you with when it is appropriate and stable.

Conserve Your Liberty.

There will be another revision to this chapter. Watch for it if you find you are interested.
