About the continuum thing..

That's exactly the point I'm having problems with. N and T are independent. If you change N >> S, the strength of T isn't affected at all. T is basically in its own home.

I'm trying to see the socion as a sliding continuum, but there doesn't seem to be a logical basis for it.

The basic Reinin dichotomies (E N T P) are linearly independent and don't affect each other. Continuum subtypes can't exist using this model.

Or so it seems.
