Disclaimer
Since is not a dichotomy (proper), the sets that are derived from it are not octadic, therefore containing no real octads of types. While a dichotomy (proper) entails equal partitioning, this set is tautologically defined by the criteria for TIM validity and thus does not constitute an even distribution of octadic sets.
Notation
A dichotomy is a partition:
with the dichotomy function:
by
We fix the sociotype ILE as the reference element and identify it with the zero vector. Accordingly, for every dichotomy , the assignment of values for and is chosen so that . All trait values and vector representations are therefore understood relative to this basepoint. Under this convention, every type is represented by a binary vector encoding its deviation from the ILE across the fixed dichotomy system.
