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 [http://storymind.com/mental\_relativity/mrmath2.htm](http://storymind.com/mental_relativity/mrmath2.htm) ---

@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. ---

In consulting as well in project management problems usually are broken down into 4 boxes and put on 1 slide ---
