Research
Recent research appears to validate the existence of universal human needs; although, the hierarchy proposed by Maslow is called into question.
Other research indicates that Maslow's explanations of the hierarchy of human motivation reflect a binary pattern of growth as seen in math. The individual's awareness of first, second, and third person perspectives, and of each one's input needs and output needs, moves through a general pattern that is basically the same as Maslow's.
