Enneagram Pieces

I use the non personality type Enneagram as a sort of symbolic modeling tool.

cat – we assign those letters to represent a cat. The map isn’t the territory.

a+b=c – We assign ‘a’ to something, like 7 green lizards. We assign ‘b’ to some other quantity. And then we say that ‘c’ represents what happens when we do something (+) to ‘a’ and ‘b’. Manipulating equations allows us to see all sorts of interesting things.

The parts of the Enneagram allow me to do a similar type of thing. I assign stuff to the different components and then describe relationships between the components.
