How Activation works
When it helps
Shared interests and encouragement give them something to enjoy together, with room to pursue their own goals.
What to notice
Even good company can be tiring. Agreeing on an idea doesn't always mean agreeing on how to make it happen.
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 LII’s and SEI’s meet most directly.

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