The archetypal
pattern formed in the Motivation Set clearly illustrates the consistency
and balance of the character Elements. In each quad of four Elements,
the items that are diagonal from one another hold the greatest potential
for conflict because they are exact opposites.
For example, Pursuit is the opposite of Avoid. As a result, when
we place the Protagonist on the Motivation of Pursuit, we would
expect the Antagonist to represent Avoid. As we have illustrated
in the previous section, that is exactly the case. Similarly, when
we place the Reason Archetype on Logic, it comes as no surprise
to find Emotion residing on Feeling, since it is diagonal from Logic.
In fact, every pair of Archetypes that are in a diagonal relationship
will generate the greatest dynamics between them. This is why we
call two Elements in diagonal opposition a Dynamic Pair.
