I’ve been watching a YouTube video called the secret of the quads by Melanie Ann Phillips. She says you can make your own quads if you can satisfy the following relationships:

Dynamic pairs

Companion pairs - horizontal relationships

Dependent pairs - vertical relationships within a quad

@jhull is it accurate to have a quad like this?

Mass – Worn Out Shoe

Energy – Shoe Straps Giving Way

Space – Shoe is used to walk from place to place

Time – Period of time before the show gives way – 3 months

You’re creating your own quad anytime you replace the words in Dramatica with what’s happening in the story you’re writing.

I have experimented a while with looking for quad structures else where and find meaning using my experience with Dramatica. But I stopped after a while cause it dint really click for me.

Here are a few 4 types of something … I have found:

  • Disc personality test has 4 types
  • Schools of thought (Think … humanly, rationally, Acting …humanly, rationally)
  • Levels of communication (Small Talk, Disclosure, Opinions, Feelings)
  • Levels of Listening (Otto Scharmer) Downloading, Generative, Empathic, Factual
  • Sense of life (Peter Jedlicka) Relationship, Beauty, Activity, Health
  • Levels of Communication (Thun) Factual Info, Appeal, Relationship, Self-revelation
  • Matrix (Eisenhower) Do, Plan, Delegate, Eliminate
