A STRUCTURED MATHEMATICAL APPROACH TO SOUL ANALYSIS

Abstract

Soul Analysis is an emerging psychological framework that seeks to explore the deeper, non-material dimensions of human experience, including values, meaning-making processes, inner conflicts, aspirations, and identity formation. Central to this approach is the concept of the Soul Set, an internal structural model of the self that extends beyond behaviourist and cognitive perspectives. This paper introduces a mathematical formulation of Soul Sets and demonstrates its application in modelling the collective soul attributes of a college. The study further examines how the perception factor within the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) related with total score of NIRF and how it is influenced by underlying soul elements. The findings reveal that quantifiable soul parameters can offer new insights into institutional perception and provide predictive value for organisational development.
