Same material relation
Kindred
ILI ↔ IEIThey may agree on what matters, then take different routes to get there. That familiar starting point doesn't mean their needs line up.
Also called Comparative · Congenerity
ILI and IEI stand in the same position, so the relation reads the same from either side.

How Kindred works
When it helps
Shared priorities give them common ground, while curiosity leaves room for each person's different approach.
What to notice
Similarity can invite comparison or competition. The help one person needs may not be the help the other naturally offers.
Same material relations. These two may recognize something familiar in how the other thinks or works. What they share depends on the particular pairing.
What passes between them
Every type has eight functions, from what comes most naturally to what costs the most effort. These are the places where ILI’s and IEI’s meet most directly.

How this pairing resolves to Kindred
Both types’ eight functions, side by side
Rows follow Model A’s eight function positions, from Leading (1) to Demonstrative (8); they are not a ranking of strength or value. The highlighted rows are the contacts that hold across all sixteen ordered pairs the archive assigns to Kindred.
Where this comes from
The relation name and roles come straight from the archived relation table, and the meeting points follow from Model A. The summaries are the Atlas’s plain-language reading of the archived Kindred guide: a place to start, not a prediction about two real people.

Technical details
- Structural fingerprint
1 → 4 → 3 → 2 → 5 → 8 → 7 → 6All eight contacts, ordered from ILI’s first through eighth positions.- All eight contacts
- 2 friction points · 2 shared strengths · 1 shared need · 3 quieter links
- Why Kindred
- The same broad block shape also appears in Business and Supervision. The exact order of the contacts is what makes this Kindred.
- Model A
- Function positions and blocks come from the archived Model A and Functions pages (
17f5a976a93f…). These contacts hold for all sixteen ordered pairs the table calls Kindred, checked against all 256 cells. - Relation table
