In the Rogerian science of unitary human beings, the requirements for meaning and evidence are problematic. Four-dimensionality, a major building block, is postulated to be nonspatiotemporal, nonlinear, and not predictable through knowledge of the parts. A problem arises primarily because the Rogerian system also presents "verification of concepts" as the means of testing "fit" with the real world. Evidence usually understood in the criterion of verifiability in the logical empiricist tradition is specifiable through physicalistic terms under particular three-dimensional conditions. What are the consequences if integral (phenomenologic) evidence is taken as the criterion of meaning in the Rogerian conceptual system?

This article presents a discussion of the evolution of the language of the Science of Unitary Human Beings from the terms used by Martha Rogers in her 1970 book to changes in terms Rogers introduced in her publications over the ensuing years to new terms and language offered by Rogerian scholars before and after Rogers' death in 1994. The article follows from Rogers' insistence that the language of a science, which evolves from general language, should be specific to the level of abstraction of the relevant concepts.

Human field image and Barrett's power theory are used to understand gender identity, experience, and expression for wellbecoming.
