The existence of each of the environments is subject to a corresponding governing principle. In the context of relationships, this means that a man and a woman united by the value of one environment must be subordinate to the principle of this environment. So, relationships based on sense exist thanks to the principle of hierarchy, on a goal — centralization, on a product or for the sake of children — decentralization, on the multiplication of resources —  on pluralism, or equality.

The relationships can be briefly described as follows:

• Hierarchy: the subordinate one does his duty to his superior — for the sake of a certain sense;
• Centralization: the periphery serves the center — for a specific goal;
• Decentralization: the center serves the periphery — for the sake of a certain product;
• Pluralism: everyone serves everyone — for the sake of a certain resource.

Knowledge of the internal direction of movement of the media is the basis for the following conclusion about the options for the content and direction of relations.

Starting their relationship, a man and a woman enter the inner reality, where both get the experience of the interaction of natural powers and can call this process “love”. Then they have two options for the path of their relations: up — development — and down — degradation.

Choosing the developmental path of relations, first the man describes to the woman the image of the goal that leads him, and the woman is inspired and starts trusting him. In this case, the man is guided by the principle of centralization, which is necessary to achieve his goal, so that the woman following him does not hinder, but only helps him. Then, when the image of the goal has already been reached to one degree or another, their relationship can move to a higher phase — understanding the sense, where the principle of hierarchy already applies, when the woman asks questions, and the man explains the sense that drives him.

Choosing the degrading path of relations, most often neither of two participants has any specific image of a goal. Then the man, whose natural masculine function is to lead to the goal, is instead captured by the feminine power of procreation of either the products of their activities or simply children, and consequently by social formalities, helping to pile up material resources. Thus they are united by their product but with the time, tacitly and unconsciously, they will start falling under the influence of the decentralization principle. Later on they naturally “fall through” to yet a lower level governed by the principle of pluralism (equality), and become “two equals”.

LD-6. SIX RELATIONSHIP TYPES

In order to form the LD-6 scale, which directly shows the types of relationships, we applied the technique of “moving from left to right” along the IM-LD Matrix, starting from the axiomatic natural human functions, indicated in LD-12.

As a first step, six pairs of functions were identified, the higher function was correlated with the Masculine principle, and the lower one with the Feminine. Thus, we identified six types of relationships with clear basic functions of both men and women. This enabled us to understand the functional content of each of the six LD-6 levels.

Below we describe the content of each type of relationship, starting from the bottom, and give a definition of their essence in accordance with the qualities they possess.

It is worth noting that knowledge of the essential properties of any cell and the features of the relations between them as parts of the entire Matrix makes it possible, if necessary, to describe in sufficient detail the features of each of the six types of relations with respect to any other issue or phenomena. This however goes beyond the scope of this article.
