[continued]

The perfect Case Officer is extravert, professional, intellectually analytical, (and (I should imagine) prudent; his most likely vice is pride. The typical Agent is – more probably through circumstance rather than by nature, as he may well be a Case Officer in his own right – introvert, prone to anxiety, relatively friendless, and even given to flashes of temperament more usually associated with artistic people. I should guess that he requires fortitude in abundance. These indications place the Case Officer and the Agent on the Circle of their relationship:

[Text extracted from ms image above:]

					C				Intellect
					Attraction				(Professions)
		[R~]			|			[S~]	Prudence
			Simplification		Unity		Ordination		Pride
				Love		Harmony	Case Officer		Analytical
G~	Revolution	–	Revelation		☼		Inner Action	–	Outer Action	M~
				Creation		Evolution
			Fragmentation		Diversity		Complication
		J~	Agent		|			[U~]
			Introvert	Artists	Distraction
					A~

This suggests that if the Case Officer organises and drives his Agent by an Outer Circle and Outer Action approach – that is, by authoritarian methods and material inducements – he may move himself towards complications and distractions and he may push his Agent through fragmentation towards revolution and simplification (double or multiple agency, shifts of allegiance, collapse?). I speculate that this is the [United States] C[entral] I[ntelligence] A[gency] method,* and I deduce that each agent will normally only be useful for one cycle or project. But it is suggested that if the Case Officer leads his Agent through an Inner Circle approach, that is through Unity and Love, the Agent will through Diversity evolve towards Inner Action, and Harmony, and towards Unity; and the Case Officer will achieve Revelation, perhaps even Creation. Q.E.D.
