(3)* If a pattern of the Circles sort was to become widely accepted, one effect it should, could and probably would have is to change the perception of** 'leader' types, professionals, intellectuals etc. of the role and status of artistic types – not just artistic achievement, but (per Bernard Shaw's useful and presumably heart-felt distinction)*** the artistic temperament – in our culture and society. Preoccupied as most of us are with linear spectra, I suspect most such people see the relative position as follows:

[Text from the ms diagram shown above (the capital letters in the first column are ~-letters – see last previous entry but one):]

	C~	Cerebral		\
	S~	Intellectual	Academics, Lawyers	\
	M~	Analytical	Doctors[,] Soldiers	\
	U~	Implementative	Craftsmen	\
	A~	Manufactoral	Businessman	}Approximate
	J~	Innovative	****Artists	/
	G~	Inspirational	Creative Writers etc.?	/
	R~	Intuitive	#	/
	(C~)	?	Fools?	/

#*

This order is unsurprising as it reflects the Inner Circle progress to a higher level of refinement.#** The fact that most individuals are on the Outer Circle and must complete a process of refinement in the other direction, is naturally less pleasing to us and therefore less likely to be accepted.

*[See [Redbook5:114][19880509:1135]{Arche-typist}[9^th May 1988], for an explanation of this numbering.]

**[This must presumably be read as 'by', given the next following 'of'.]

***[no specific reference yet found]

****[Visual, presumably]

#[One might expect musicians here; and possibly comedians (cf. jesters as fools)]

#*(This linear order I think reflects primarily a mind-worker hierarchy: manual workers do not fit into it, whereas I think they do fit into the Circles.)

#**[i.e up the diagram. This para seems somewhat artificial. <20180223>]
