The purpose of this document is to provide an understanding of Aushra’s Model A by listing out the main works that should be read. It is important that these are read in accordance to order as Socionics does build off of itself and in order to understand one paper it is often vital to understand others. Reading all of the provided curriculum should provide one with a confident understanding of Model A at its structural core. I’m curious to hear ideas, developments, and thoughts people have as they progress through and complete the reading. At any point in time feel free to look through old readings as well, as your understanding develops, the insights you can make will develop as well
First I will provide some introductions to Model A’s structure as a whole. Though these aren’t written by Aushra, they are enlightening to read and I believe that they provide great insight into reading Aushra
Sophia’s Introduction to Socionics:

(I’d recommend clicking on the links when they are explicitly provided, they have good information to review, although it’s likely you will be reading them later)
The Foundations of Socionics - A Review:
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2970140
Review of the Socionic Model of Information Metabolism at Individual, Interpersonal and Societal Levels:
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3001323
By this point you should have an introductory understanding of the Model A’s functioning. I would now recommend you begin reading Aushra’s own introductions to the model.
On the Dual Nature of Humanity:

Socion:

Once you are able to understand these, you should be ready to start reading type descriptions. In order to read these in the most beneficial way possible you must look for the underlying structural components beneath what she is saying. The descriptions contain so much valuable information about blockings, elements, and Model A as a whole. It is essential to read them.

After reading these you should have a really good idea of how the Model is functioning as a whole. I would recommend reading the Theory of Reinin Dichotomies at this point since it will be easiest to understand with this informational background. You can go back and read the type descriptions a second time as well to see if there are any structural insights you come to.

For those who are interested in the concept of vertical blockings from this paper I’d recommend the doc I wrote on Vertical Blocks
