How Mirror works
When it helps
Comparing their perspectives helps them refine ideas and see something they might have missed alone.
What to notice
Useful discussion can become constant correction, especially when one wants to act and the other wants to keep rethinking.
Same material relations. These two may recognize something familiar in how the other thinks or works. What they share depends on the particular pairing.

Every type has eight functions, from what comes most naturally to what costs the most effort. These are the places where ILI’s and LIE’s meet most directly.

How this pairing resolves to Mirror
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 Mirror.
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 Mirror guide: a place to start, not a prediction about two real people.
