Any attempt to quantify the IPS postulates introduced in Section 3.5 is a challenging yet intriguing affair. The quantification should provide a description of the real-world situation that is close and at the same time at some distance to experience. These two complementary IPS requirements are indispensable in the development of a meaningful IPS approach that balances the significant values and potential limitations of human experience. In his effort to satisfy these requirements, the Irish novelist James Joyce provided an enlightening literary metaphor of dualism. In his novels, Joyce was able to describe people from close-up and also out of a distance by assuming an "indifference" position up in the clouds above Dublin.
