The same person, two abstract concepts for the deeper layers. BIS/BAS is the charge in both (gold approach, teal threat). Flip a preset or open the dials and watch both react.
Core is your attractor orbit (HEXACO). Attachment is its stability: secure is one clean loop, anxiety multiplies into chaos, avoidance collapses to a point. Values are the fixed points it circles. Needs are the depth of the basin behind it.
Core is a six-fold symmetric figure (HEXACO). Attachment breaks symmetry: secure is whole, anxiety fractures into an echo, avoidance leaves gaps. Values set an overlaid star order. Needs are the closure of the outer ring.
Both keep the original HEXACO core idea, drop the physical motifs, and ground the deeper layers in a concept (dynamical systems for 2, symmetry/group theory for 8). Calibrated, not validated; a metaphor, not biology; psychologist sign-off before any public personality claim. Built by Nicola Harvey, June 2026.
