Was there a thread somewhere that discussed why the symbols were chosen the way they were to represent what they do? I vaguely remember something like it, but can't find anything in the search that talks about it.

Therefore, if we represent logic with a square — a symbol of strict reasoning — then a symbol that fits into a square must be chosen to represent the internal aspect of the same process. Thus was born a square without one corner — .

We will assign corresponding field elements the same symbols, only with a different color: , , , and .

Awesome, thanks. That's exactly what I was curious about.

Wow...you gathered all that from my posts? That's incredible, but also a little disconcerting. You should make your own socionics.
