Field guide № 1 · The Instrument
The Bearing
Anchor, Tide, Breakwater, Squall — four ways of being in a relationship, and what happens when they meet.
The six dimensions, the twenty archetypes with their configurations, the ten pairings and where each one tends to rub — and what to do about it. This is not a compatibility test.

Before you decide anything
Inside the guide.
Made to be read aloud: a tagged PDF, with headings, reading order, language and image descriptions set, and text you can select, search and enlarge. If you need it another way, write to us.
- The Sounding: what the forty-eight statements measure, and what they do not
- The six dimensions, with what each end of each one means
- The twenty archetypes: four cores, five modifiers, a portrait of each
- The ten pairings, each with its friction band and where it tends to rub
- From friction to terms: three clauses from the library, in its own wording
