Fundamentally, Dx Tool uses language tags that correspond to psychosocial symptoms identified, studied, and continuously validated by experts. For example, the tag "hallucinations" corresponds to X# of events in which science has documented said symptom. Using these linguistic tags, Dx performs an initial information filter through tagging, reducing the search from thousands to hundreds, tens, or single units of phenomena where "hallucinations" have been labeled. However, to be truly useful to its users, Dx incorporates multiple groups of tags that correspond not only to symptoms but also to various elements of the psychosocial phenomenon and its axiomatic axes, which can be interacted with to refine the diagnosis and make it even more precise. Through this triangulation of diagnostic elements related to the specific psychosocial event, Dx ensures an appropriate search, centered on the information provided by the user and grounded in the long-standing and thriving scientific tradition of humanity in addressing health and social issues.

​

Based on the above, Dx is a system that integrates and operationalizes various elements of psychosocial diagnosis. It should be noted that a system involves the articulation of at least two components, which, when combined, form a mechanism with specific functions. If Dx were to use only one group of linguistic tags, such as "symptoms," its utility would be limited to the precise but minimally refined filtering of psychosocial events where a symptom X is referenced. However, by referring to a system, we acknowledge the presence of interlinked elements, which implies recognizing the existence of a boundary between these elements that articulates, differentiates, and sets them into motion. Thus, a symptom is interconnected with a schedule, a location, or another type of clue that helps differentiate it and complements it in pursuit of the diagnosis. The notion of a system also requires organizing interpretations about how these elements are articulated and their function. Here, through interpretations assisted by artificial intelligence and a programmed servo, the psychosocial diagnosis of the tool is configured. These interpretations have been previously validated by experts to the point of acquiring the status of a principle or law in the sciences, specifically in psychology, medicine, sociology, and law, which are inherently relevant to psychosocial approaches.

​

In this context, the General Systems Theory (GST) on which DxTool is based seeks to explain the universe according to its systematic structures, composed of interdependent variables (conditions and dependent variables). For instance, in living organisms, this implies mutualistic and organized behavior, where interactions occur through complex processes of exchange, complementarity, scaling, and cancellation. Beyond DxTool, these insights have guided numerous studies on metabolism, growth, and biophysics in organisms. Despite its significance in biology, where it was founded, this theory is also applicable in the psychological domain.

​

Bertalanffy’s contributions to General Systems Theory (GST) resolved the controversy between scientific mechanism and vitalism, while revealing the existence of a tangible interrelationship among all constituent elements of the cosmos. Although various scientists contributed to this shift in scientific thought, including figures such as Otto von Guericke and Frederic Skinner, among others, Bertalanffy’s contributions marked a milestone in the history of science. It can be stated that GST was introduced by Bertalanffy in 1937, driven by multidisciplinary scientific evidence, and that today, the application of systematic principles is feasible across various fields of knowledge (Vega, 1998). Furthermore, while the epistemological debate may seem easier to navigate today, and scientific evidence suggests that all paradigms should be rationalized, as they may contain valuable contributions to understanding the universe, in the past, this debate posed significant challenges for psychology and other sciences striving to define a method and object of study. In the Information Age, however, the epistemological shift has not ceased, particularly in countries like the United States, where methods and demonstrations are geared toward the transformation of the human being and their ideal of happiness. There, the puritan elements of its founders, sophisticated scientific practices, war, peace, and the everyday narratives of its citizens are synthesized. Due to its advanced understandings, the United States places all human beings on an equal footing, instilling in them love, respect, loyalty, and courage. Do not hold back in your analyses, for the Federal Government and the helm of development allow tracing back to Great Britain, Rome, Greece, and even the benevolent puritan heart the ideals of greatness that have made American governance a territory worthy of admiration, controlled by its bureaus and officers, planned in every detail, yet sufficiently stimulating to produce high-quality creativity.

Perhaps Sigmund Freud, who also settled in the USA toward the end of his life, is a good example of the hybrid methodologies that leave visitors to the United States in awe, and this is already a demonstration of the caliber of science in North America—ultimately difficult to understand, but accurate and easy to appreciate. This encoding of the psychosocial phenomenon, through the language that gives meaning to human experience with its constituent elements, has been occurring polytemporally, as different individuals make contributions to decipher it at various points in history. These contributions, though distant in time and space, tend toward juxtaposition, complementing, correcting, and/or canceling each other, thereby expanding the networks of meanings and linguistic labels referring to their elements. Not everything is a system, and not everything is a network; even in human thought, despite its complexity, multidimensionality, and multilevel nature, there is certainty that logical-linear meaning structures also operate, along with others even more intricate in this field, such as fallacies, which emerge on the margins of the rules of verification and validation in these domains but still denote an assignment of meaning, albeit skewed for failing to meet the necessary requirements. In this sense, the method has been adapted to the demands of what are, in fact, psychosocial phenomena studied by experts. Ultimately, it is also common for a single concept to operate within multiple structures simultaneously, especially when dealing with notions foundational to the substrate of reality, such as space and time.

​

In reverse, as we decipher the cosmos, the information about psychosocial phenomena tends to become more precise, and thus, an increasing number of material and immaterial tools, abundant resources, are employed to approach the psychosocial event. In this process, many networks (sometimes networks of linguistic labels denoting meanings) are established as knowledge about a variety of topics, which find points of convergence and either couple or suppress one another, enhancing our understanding of the surrounding world. This is precisely what DxTool does. The point where multiple networks converge can be a polysemous signifier or a meaning that requires others to take shape, such as the example of the label "hallucinations," denoted by the integration of various meanings without which the main concept would lack sense. Technological advances follow this same pattern. Each technological innovation enables the development of others that are even more complex and precise, which are then integrated into the new creation. In this sense, we cannot reduce the understanding of the topic to the linguistic element alone, despite its central importance, and thus Dx transcends the merely linguistic through its AI and servo methods. It is also worth suggesting a journey through the shelves of universal history in search of knowledge and possibilities, knowing in advance that our representations are co-constructed and subject to constant revisions that complement or refine the compendium of elements obtained in a given exercise. 

The role of the psychosocial professional does not end with diagnosis; it must foster individual, group, or family change. For example, as a French saying goes: "Sometimes it is necessary to cure, sometimes to relieve, sometimes simply to comfort." But just as this is true, it is equally true that psychosocial work involves a diagnosis.

​

Across mental health disciplines, professionals employ criteria of normality and abnormality to distinguish health from illness, peace from conflict, and cause from effect, shaping effective treatment strategies. Research reveals that under certain conditions, disruptions in cognition, emotions, identity, or consciousness can lead to profound individual distress and societal harm, underscoring the critical need for informed interventions. Diagnostic procedures have advanced importantly since their early iterations, enabling faster, safer, and more accurate assessments. Modern innovations often eliminate the need for lengthy waiting periods or in-person visits, shifting the access to timely mental health care
