@ op: The wise old man is flawed; it is redundant and thus irrelevant when taken out of context.

1. The persona of an individuals first experience with their higher self will be a direct relationship between what that individual expected to achieve and what was actually accomplished.
2. The individual will then create 6 personalities to compensate for their naivete. As follows: [1] The empathetic [2] The sympathetic [3] The contradiction [4] The liar [5] The hypocrite [6] The honest.
3. The individual will then create a new persona based on a combination of the most effective traits from each personality.
4. The individual will then fall back on persona 1 to enlist help from a familiar source. This will only change if said course is not relevant to an as yet determined point 5.
5. The individual him/herself will no longer exists within the construct of a 6 point pattern prediction. ( Personality matrix )
6. The individual can not understand the significance of point 4. until point 5. presents itself, thus proving point 1-6 is an accurate system of prediction. However, if point 3. has chosen the wrong combination of traits from point 2's. personalities then point 6 will become irrelevant and point 3. will have to be reworked until a correct combination of traits are found.

q: Does [x]exists=1(what is expected and what actually is)
a: Yes, but only if the individual believes it does=2( assumption based on what is)
q: Does [x] not exists?=3(what actually is has already been established)
a: Yes, but only if the individual believes it does not=4(sequential question relevant to next question, assumption is based on what is expected [1])
q: How can [x] exists and not exist at the same time=5(question takes precedence of an actual answer, the individuals bias has been removed)
a: It can not=6( [4~is] therefore [5] will be presented as the proof needed to answer [6]
It does not matter what I personally believe, according to the 6 points of pattern prediction [x] does indeed exists with or without my understanding.

To further merge personalities would simply cancel each out causing a default program to run eg. The wise will recognize the hero as a foreign entity as it's counter intuitive not to.

Or not, who knows these things?
