It is an axiomatic rendering of traditional and current psychoanalytic formulations. The theory of the instincts is presented in a structured fashion, leading to the result that the genital stage ideally achieves an optimal adaptive prototype. This is supported by computing a Shannon entropy on the instincts and demonstrating that the prototype reduces entropy (ideally) to 40% of its former maximal value. The model provides increasingly general, age-appropriate, definitions of reality sense.
