Complementary relation
Mirage
LSI ↔ LIEBeing together may feel easy and relaxing. Bigger decisions can reveal different hopes or priorities that weren't obvious at first.
Also called Illusionary
LSI and LIE stand in the same position, so the relation reads the same from either side.

How Mirage works
When it helps
There's room to enjoy each other's company without expecting perfect teamwork in every part of life.
What to notice
Feeling comfortable together can hide different expectations. Check what each person wants before making serious plans.
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 LSI’s and LIE’s meet most directly.

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