James Reynierse says: “You have it exactly right when you refer to the symmetry of type beginning with the Pair interactions. My colleague and fellow researcher John Harker and I have frequently discussed these relationships in terms of the natural symmetry of type… showing a circumplex structure for the MBTI is interesting and instructive…”. E8 and its subalgebras are mapped to MBTI types and Enneagram numbers. In the process, analogies with the use of E8 symmetry in physics are explored. Down at D3, a Process Circumplex is constructed from MBTI type pair interactions and a relationship is shown between Enneagram Triads and the MBTI Feeling and Thinking types. The Enneagram’s Law of 7 provides hexagonal structure for the Circumplex while the Law of 3 provides triangular structure. At D4, additional Enneagram Triads relate to the MBTI’s Introversion and Extraversion Types. For the F4 8-dim vector, an analogy is constructed between the Circumplex’s inward and outward two-fold Enneagram quaternities and the internal and external dimensions of spacetime. The external spacetime/outward quaternity relates to the X-Y-Z-T spacetime basis vectors for gravity rotations and boosts and the internal spacetime/inward quaternity relates to the Standard Model electroweak bosons. For the F4 spinors, the analogy constructed is between two additional sets of two-fold quaternities and orbifolded matter/antimatter spinor components. F4 with its Spacetime-Matter-Antimatter Triality is related to Enneagram triple octaves and to the Sri Yantra footprint with interpenetrating triangles. E8 superimposes 8 vertices at each F4 two-fold quaternity location which for the physics analogy adds for quantization, 8 momentum operators for spacetime and 8 particle types for matter/antimatter. This E8 quantization may underlie quantum consciousness.
