My anal retentive side really wants me to whittle away the duplicates in this chart…
I like the astronaut ninja–he looks so bewildered.
I would have preferred if the duplicates had instead been a different take so that “robot-ninja” is different from “ninja-robot”. Multiplication of archetypes is not commutative. Archetypes are more like matrices than vectors.
Also, the boxes on the “type-type” diagonal should be MORE of whatever they are. A ninja-ninja is to regular ninja what ninja are to regular people.
no, ninjaXninja is like multiplying 1×1, it equals ninja.
