Universal Axiom of Focality added to ICF in Library

The coding for the Universal Axiom of Focality and related axioms, principles, and elements were added to the Context Typing & Coding section of the International Classification of Functional Processes, Agency, and Context (ICF) in the Library.

c0000.00 FOCALITY [universal axiom] The focality in a situation is subject to the axioms of INTERNAL FIELDS and EXTERNAL FIELDS.

According to FIELD THEORY (Bishop, 2019), The focal area of interest can be defined as being either within specific parameters or boundaries (internal), or outside of specific parameters or boundaries (external). To the degree that we have an internal focus within the boundary of an object we are relating to the object’s internal field; and, to the degree that we have an external focus outside the boundary of an object we are relating to it’s external field. We can take an internal position within (or perspective within) something, or we can take an external position outside (or perspective outside) something. Everything is relative to a given anchor point of orientation. At whatever point we orient ourselves we will relate to inner aspects and outer aspects that are relative to our current anchor point of orientation. As we shift inward or outward and change our orientation or anchor point we will relate to things relatively differently, with our perception of inner or outer being dependent upon our current position or orientation.
