But you just used it as a tool to categorize and explain a wide swath of relationship dynamics. The only thing you needed was to apply it to the individuals instead of the relationship writ large.

I think the cat is in the middle of a lecture too. Maybe that’s the next slide?

I guess my point is that this is but a stepping stone to perhaps a better systemic way of trying to understand things…

… or, perhaps the fact that you have to keep complexifying and expanding on the original concept and giving it caveats and special cases… means that some other kind of fundamental approach would be superior.

  I think the best way might be the simplest way that achieves a consensus that sufficient nuance is considered.
  
  Or rather, the minimum necessary that everyone affected can use the tool proficiently to meet their needs. Most tools need regular maintenance or discarding, but cat is giving simple, so maybe cat is on to something.
