delineating : anxious, avoidant, secure

Another imbecilic meme, is the notion of a jointly sufficient ontology, merely from the adjectives : anxious, avoidant, and secure. 

Anxiety (1) : is a motivating state; biologically we might consider it simply as cortisol. However (2), the term is also used to describe externally observable states which are expressions of the inner motivation, though these (1,2) are distinct phenomena.

Avoidance (3) is an example of the latter (2).

Security may be naive (4) or risk mitigating (5).

Security, in the first sense (4), is the opposite of anxiety, in the first sense (1)

Security, in the second sense (5), is the usage captured by the popular framework, and exists only as a tuple (1,6), consisting of (1) and some sort of mitigation (6) against (1).
