    Default Theory: functions of lower dimension protect higher dimension.

    So here is what I got. If your Ti is of higher dimension then your Te, no matter what is valued, you basically use the lower dimension element to protect what comes from the higher dimension element. Mostly becouse the higher dimension element is more reliable. Which means, if you got 4D Fi and 3D Fe, the Fe serves to protect the interests of that 4D Fi. If Ti/Te, same applies.

    Hmmm, I don't know if that links up true with Suggestive -> Role though.
    Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.

    I think it holds true but in for example ignoring->lead then lead stand at its own to a higher degree and we do not in a extended way do ignoring element stuff. In suggestive->role the link is just weaker.

    Not that demo does not stand on its own but we retreat as much as we can to the creative. Thats about it.

    Maybe how you define, "protect the interests of" needs to be really flushed out. Because of the ambiguity of the term, I come up with my own boundaries of what those words constitute (whether protects the interests of applies to, transmutes information from one into the other, or whether it means its used as a support stick for the stronger function, or whether protects the interests of accidentally overlaps with "valued functions"...), but those will likely not fall in line within your own intended meaning.

    Hm, well. Protect the interest means as it says. Same as when someone person is protecting the interest of an other person. Or a company protect the interest of an other company.

    English isn't your first language I presume?

    I didn't mean that as an insult, it's just what you're saying isn't exactly clear. Figured it was a language barrier.

    The reason your statement is unclear, conceptually, is because Fe can't actually protect the interests of Fi(or vice versa), because they are not separate beings. The interests are the individuals. the 4D element has no interests. So the 3D element protects the interest of the individual, as does the 4D element, (as does the 1D element).

    Which is why I was asking for elaboration in your own words, as the ambiguity of your meaning makes it impossible to gleam the insight from what you intend.. What you're saying is by definition an analogy, or a metaphor. "Talking about one things in terms of another". The base level, nothing deeper than "protects the interest of" is incoherent. It has to be an analogy unless you believe all the elements have separate interests from the user, that they all are individual beings with agency.

    Unless you want us to wildly guess at what you mean. If so sure, I disagree with you. The "interests" fall in line with valued functions, not higher developed functions. The one being protected is always the valued function.

    Honestly, I don't think that's what you're saying. But that is what im inferring from this, hence clarification.

    I think you have a point in that the elements in themselves do not hold interests but the individual does. Thus the individual rely more into that their 4D, or in some cases the 2D, will be true to their interest in a higher degree then the 3D or 1D.

    Basically what I said was, the 4D have higher reliability for the individual then the 3D. When things get really serious the person always rely on information by the 4D over the 3D. Or 2D over the 1D.
