Modeling contextual relationships through interrelatedness of constituent referents.
In this program, ideas and concepts will be grouped together, and then rendered into word form, according to how they relate to each other. This is to say that a word's context will determine how it is spoken, written, and related semantically to other referents. In the diagram system, we can visualize four basic regions. The first is the Context region. This is also known as the Perfection marker. This primary region begins at the 12 o'clock position and sweeps clockwise. This is the theoretical origin of any complete contextual relationship. One full sweep through the diagram represents one completed cycle, one full unit of expression, one trichotomatic array, one octave.
We find the Neutrality region at the 6 o'clock position. It is also known as the Equilibrium marker. It serves as an unaligned annex for the context marker directly above it and completes a feedback continuum along a vertical plane. It can be thought of as the mid-way point during one full cyclic sweep.
The Positive realm is in the 4 o'clock position, also known as the Synonymous marker, while in the 8 o'clock position is the Negative marker, also known as the Antonymous marker. These two diametrically opposed entities form a feedback continuum that is aligned horizontally against the vertical Context / Neutrality continuum.

To offer an example of how context is arrayed in this diagram we will use the following progression. We begin with a single term and determine how it connects to other contextually-related terms.
Consult the following table to see how words are applied according to this methodology.

It should be remembered that not all words or concepts will fit neatly into this schematic plan. Some words have no sensible opposites or contexts, while other words are their own contexts. Yet as we test words to see if they fit, we can learn some interesting things about context, opposites, and absences. Moreover, the lack of a specific word to occupy a specific place on the diagram may lead us to develop new thoughts and words where none exist yet.
It seems as though in most languages, a dichotomy is favored for words and their opposites, in a kind of "either or" relationship. Through an evaluative system such as this, we can determine whether a dichotomatic system is the only alternative to evaluating possible connotations. We can also expose some of the descriptive inadequacies of languages today and suggest a richer realm to develop them into.
