Consider A:B::C:D analogy-ratio-relationships as 2x2 matrices? For instance, how the presence & absence of Respect & Empathy result in various feelings toward others:
| - | Respect | + | |
|---|---|---|---|
| + | Pity | Admiration | |
| Empathy | |||
| - | Rejection | Fear |
or how the Breadth-Depth dichotomy plays out against degrees of following standard past patterns in various professions:
| Breadth | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Artist | Entrepreneur | |||
| Break Rules | Keep Rules | |||
| Scientist | Builder | |||
| Depth |
or with arrows:
| mathematics | → | physics |
| ↓ | ↓ | |
| Category Theory | → | philosophy |
or without:
| horse | ship |
| land | sea |
or:
| contrast | epigram |
|---|---|
| resemblance | simile |
And consider other examples? ... meta-methods to build diagrams from kennings or semi-structured essays? ... the optimal format(s) to display relationships among concepts and analogies?
