Often, an[d] especially in old age, the more intelligent and interesting of people become more logical than conventional. They are then known as ‘eccentric’.

It is hard to place this on the circle (or oval). I guess that it is somewhere up by S~, perhaps towards C; I should think that conventionality might be associated more with M~-U~, although extraverts (who might be expected to be more conventional?) are associated by birthdate* with S~-C.

The movement away from convention to logic (albeit necessarily based on assumption) implies an inner circle rotation, ie from c[irca] U~-M~ (or ? M~-U~) to c[irca] S~-C. But doesn’t harmony (at S~) require convention? Well, yes, in the absence of anything better, maybe, but convention is essentially unwritten law, and enforceable (even if only by definitions as ‘eccentric’): so convention is primarily outer circle (hence M~-U~).

This isn’t completely convincing!
