NOTES
1. Power and changing emotions means love and an evolving code of ethics, Invincibility is a fated and satisfying condition, no emotional power means hatred and no changing sense of the good, and no invincible feeling means will-power (resistance) and death.
2. Power and changing emotions are a fated and satisfying condition, Invincibility is hatred and no changing sense of the good, no emotional power is will-power (resistance) and death, and no invincibility means love and an evolving code of ethics.

4. Power and changing emotions are will-power (resistance) and death, Invincibility is love and an evolving code of ethics, no emotional power means a fated and satisfying condition, and no invincibility means hatred and no changing sense of the good.
These are somewhat ambiguous, and for good reason�especially on the issue of invincibility. It could mean invincibility to death, meaning immortal life, potentially not one�s own life, but the lives of progeny. In this case it would seem that the invincibility simply means that the emotions are powerful, meaning that the two judgment axes are practically parallel. Or, it could mean invincibility to love, as contrasted with emotional power or intensity. Emotional intensity could be seen as a kind of helplessness to love. With these things in mind, we can interpret them as follows: 1. A relationship is a positive condition contrasted with mortality and resistance to sex 2. One is not in a relationship and therefore one is not resisting love, but the qualities of love. In this case there is the suggestion that the being in question lacks a lover�s qualities 3. In this case, the subject has no resistance to love, and yet he has no control over his emotions. It seems implausible that someone could have an evolving code of ethics in an emotional context without emotional power. So we can strike this one. 4. Again, the subject has no emotional power. So, three and four are gone. Now we can formulate a second chart based on a firmer grounding in the meaning of the SS-SS world:
