  :: Augusta may be considered an origional founder who BUILT upon the theory of others. However, it is acurate to say that much of what you think is attributed to ausura augusta is not actually attributed to ausura augusta. Some things that are mathematically (or in other cases, esoterically) derived as a standard part of socionics theory are acutally attributed to Gulenko, Bukalov, and Reinin, even though some of these things are supposedly attributed solely to her. She did not do everything herself. As far as esotericism is concerned I have a good faith belief that the esoteric, hermetic,  influence came as a result of Bukalov's and other founders work on socionics theory, and that ausura augusta was blindly following until she had no choice but to accept the developing mystic viewpoint. For that reason, ausura asugusta would not have been aware that socionics theory had esoteric and occult associations until later on, in her old age. I agree that she probably (at least initially) intended socionics theory to be scientific, but it also falls signifigantly short of a modern scientific standard, and that would have been evident from the start.      :: Also, augusta
