How Duality works
When it helps
Trust grows at its own pace. Both people make room for the other's strengths in work, friendship, or everyday life.
What to notice
Filling each other's gaps doesn't guarantee closeness. Timing, background, and the choices they make still matter.
Complementary relations. One person's strengths may help with things the other finds harder. That can feel supportive, even when they help each other in different ways.
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 LIE’s and ESI’s meet most directly.

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