Linear thinking has some definite shortcomings when it is applied to logical systems which are not linear. Most systems which might benefit from an enneagram are not well served by strictly linear considerations. A giant, hungry tiger running toward you is fairly linear. The psychological work required to rehabilitate the attitudes of students in a movements class is not. The enneagrammatic model of the rehabilitation effort can incorporate causality considerations in many directions at once. It becomes a complex model which can actually serve to guide one through the vagaries of such a task. A linear model is, by its nature, two dimensional. It is an abomination to the potential of correct human thought and to Gurdjieff’s common cosmic law of threefoldness, the Sacred Triamazikamno!

Here are some examples of enneagrams created in this class. Some that are of a personal nature have had the names of individuals removed.
