JoVo, my emphasis on my websites is more on what is BEHIND these typologies
IOW each typology is 'different' in the way descriptions are expressed but
behind them all is a methodology that is, at the general level, the SAME in
all of the our species.

Understand THAT level and all else is seen as particularisations,
localisations, of a general form of categorisations.

This includes converting dichotomy-derived to trichotomy-derived and the
reverse...

best,

Chris.
