*[These vertical arrow lines are dashed in the ms diagram.]

[In the ms these three diagrams [see last previous entry for first and second] are represented as roughly drawn circles with square and (in the second and third) diagonal crosses; the arrows follow the circles. Due to the apparent limitations of Google Blogger's fonts, these cannot be fully represented there in tables.]

It is worth restating this (in a rather messy diagram) in order to emphasise that everything else is a gloss – to illustrate it in one way or another. This is why a certain amount of mutual contradiction among symbols is not crucial (as it were) – they are, after all, only symbols. Only symbols! As if that resolved anything....

One of the strengths of this diagram* is that it highlights the ambiguous nature, and dangers, of Attraction. After all, with the exception of Anger, all of the seven Vices may be seen as a form of Attraction.***
