AN ARROW OF WEAKNESS
The Arrow of Confusion
You have too much going at once, and you always have.
The physical plane is empty — no 1, no 4, no 7. Expression, organisation and patience are all unsupported, so order does not arise on its own. You are not scattered because you are careless. You are scattered because nothing in your lattice sorts things for you.
The physical row, unoccupied — the inverse of Practicality. Speech, organisation and patience each have no cell, so sequence has nothing to arise from. This is the one weakness line where the remedy is almost purely mechanical: order that does not come from inside can be installed from outside, and it functions identically once it is there.
It shows up as several things live at once and none of them finished, with a genuine inability to say which should be first. The question is not one you are avoiding — it is one you cannot answer from the inside, because ranking is exactly the faculty this row would have supplied.
It costs more than it should because of how it is interpreted by everyone else. Scatter reads as not caring, and you will spend years being told to try harder at something effort does not touch. The people who work well with you are the ones who supplied a structure instead of an opinion, and you have probably noticed you become a different worker around them.
What to do about it
One list. One thing on it at a time. Order is not a character trait you were denied, it is a structure you can install from outside — and once installed it works just as well as the built-in kind.
Which cells it runs through
All three of its cells sit on one plane, so this arrow describes a concentration rather than a circuit.

- 7learning by cost · physical planeKnowledge that arrived through experience, usually expensive experience.

The same line, the other way
A line makes an arrow when all three cells are full, and a different arrow when all three are empty.
The Arrow of PracticalityYou can be relied on, and you have quietly built your identity on that fact.You have read about it. Now have it read.
None of this is worth much in the abstract. Give the teacher the day you were born and he will tell you which of these you actually carry.
