I don't get it. Is there anyway at all you could flesh out the math speak so that those of us without a math degree can understand your train of thought?

That looks like this.

That looks like this.

Awesome I'm gonna love this, but (as it was/is with the periodic system of the socion) it'll take me a while to absorb! It's gonna be awesome when I do though... looking forward to seeing this all unfold

Oh dear god.

I dunno who wrote this, but: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socionics#Mathematics

Though technically the way they have it set up in base2 doesn't actually work correctly. I was able to tweak it awhile ago to make an intertype calculator that did work correctly, but I'll be fucked if I can remember exactly what I did.

Hm looks kind of bullshitty to me, but yeah there is some math here. They are on to something wrt those three Reinin dichotomies. They are more 'real' than the other ones, IMO. That is, there are the same relationships among all the Democratic types. There are 7 'real' dichotomies. Of the Reinin dichotomies, they left out Result Process and Negativist Positivist. Ironically, two of the Jungian dichotomies are not 'real' either, because the supervisor of an intuitive type is not always intuitive, for example.

I just posted some more stuff. If anyone actually wants to understand this, let me know what is unclear or too abstract. There is a fair amount of background stuff to explain.

"real"?

Can you elaborate your position? I wouldn't mind a pm or wall post.
