I like it better as an esoteric framework of all the substances in the world than some predictive tool for relationships. You don't use it to plot the exoteric (outer/relational) properties of objects out to see what happens, you use it to create a cut-jewel framework of reality where all the traits of objects reflect all the others in an internal way, so you see greater dimensionality in these objects, rather than each instance being a unique one-off phenomenon. I think @ashlesha said something indicating she gets this idea.
