Here is my theory on how types are connected or disconnected to one another. I make use of wing types and integration/disintigration arrows. As we all know 3-6-9 are solidly connected by an equalateral triangle. Acoording to a respected authors parental theory, 3-6-9 have positive connections to their parental figures. Lastly 3-6-9 contains a heart/deceit,ego, assertive type; head/fear, superego, compliant type; body/self forgetting,id, withdrawn type. Thus 3-6-9 is a complete and completely connected triad. Furthermore, we have complete progressions between 6 wing types as follows; Complete Progressions 3w2 2w3 9w8 8w9 6w5 5w6 In other words both the primary type and wing type integrate and disintegrate directly. Note the wing types for the first columnn form a complete triad, mirrored by the primary type in the second column. I would name this triad 5-8-2. Or to be perfectly accurate include the wing type. For the next progressions we have direct progressions between the primary types on colunm one yet their wings disintegrate In colunm two the wing type progresses. Note another unique triad here; 4-1-7. triad. The 4-1-7 triad. So there is a complete triad for primary type and wing type, even though the progressions may not be completely direct for both as above. Semi Complete Progressions 7w6 6w7 1w9 9w1 4w3 3w4 The next types are as above, only their are only two types in each column. Note: These types are both ego/assertive/negative/ambivalent relation to mother = 7/8 or compliant/superego/ambivalent/negative relation to father = 1/2. Partial Progressions 7w8 8w7 1w2 2w1 Lastly, the 4/5 combos have no progressions (direct integration or disintegration) between the primary type and wing types. Note: 4/5 is id/withdrawn/ambivalent/negative relation to both parents. No Progressions 4w5 5w4 I'll sum this up to make sense later.
