Model of the Dual Space (Shared by Dual Pairs)

[Lao Tzunami]

Here is a model of the Dual Space. Imagine that the "coin" in the middle can be flipped and rotated to any 90 degree orientation. The 8 possible ways to place the coin in the center hole are the 8 dual pairs.

It is currently set to IEI-SLE

Looks pretty enough. Out of curiosity, what do you want to use it for?

And so what?

And so what?

I was thinking about what Jung said:

In this way we can orient ourselves with respect to the immediate world as completely as when we locate a place geographically by latitude and longitude. The four functions are somewhat like the four points of the compass; they are just as arbitrary and just as indispensable. Nothing prevents our shifting the cardinal points as many degrees as we like in one direction or the other, or giving them different names. It is merely a question of convention and intelligibility. But one thing I must confess: I would not for anything dispense with this compass on my psychological voyages of discovery. ("A Psychological Theory of Types," CW 6, pars. 958f.)

Of course he did not have the socionics model, but I was wondering if you could make a similar compass for quadra. Socionics treats the positions in a binary way, but with the freedom to shift your mental attention to different aspects of yourself. This is just a tool to contemplate what that would mean in terms of quadra.

Looks pretty enough. Out of curiosity, what do you want to use it for?

It is currently set for me (IEI-SLE). Even though me and you both value beta elements, the transitions are flipped for us, I (IEI) have evaluating gamma elements and situational alpha elements, while you (EIE) are the reverse.
