relation family
telos
assigned, not verified What this family covers, what it fails to cover, and every relation string in the graph that lands in it. A family is assigned: two models read the definitions document and named the same kind of relation, or a person ruled where they did not. Verified is the other layer: a quote checked letter-exact against its paragraph and judged by a model of a different family. That was already done before any of this began.
Definition
Goal-direction AND goal-attainment: the subject aims at, strives toward, culminates in, reaches, or attains the object as its end. The teleology of the opus — one of the corpus's main axes.
Boundary: a goal is not the next term (sequence) and not a requirement (dependence). Against psychic-effect: telos claims an end pursued or reached BY the subject on its own arc; psychic-effect claims one term acting on the other. Attainment of one's own end is telos, not effect.

pending a ruling: items carrying a string this family covers
Checked against readers of Jung
Checked against 8 works of scholarship: across the sample, 8 of 16 treated items agreed with our family. The sample did not reach this family.the whole table

These families are this project's classification. They are calibrated inside this repository, checked once against outside scholarship on a small sample, and endorsed by nobody. What the layer records is how we sorted relations Jung wrote: a map of assertions, not a reading of him.
