Augmenting
Both Base elements coincide on the Instrumental position, B4. This is a foreground radial relation: each type's Base augments material the other actively works with.

Benefit — Model A
The classical asymmetric relation before sixteen-function resolution splits it apart.
What Model A Says
Benefit Is A Directional Ring Relation
In Model A, Benefit is one of the two asymmetric intertype relations. The Benefactor's Creative function occupies the Beneficiary's Suggestive position, while the Beneficiary's Leading function occupies the Benefactor's Mobilising position. The reverse does not hold, which is why the relation is described as directional.
Classically, the Beneficiary receives something they deeply want but do not produce easily. The Benefactor supplies it without special effort, because it is a natural byproduct of their own Creative function. The Benefactor may enjoy being appreciated, while the Beneficiary may feel nourished, helped, or drawn upward by the exchange.
This is a coherent eight-function account. It remains the correct way to describe Benefit at Model A resolution.
The Four Rings
Benefactor To Beneficiary
These are the classical Model A Benefit rings. The arrows describe the Model A direction of benefit.
| Ring | Model A direction |
|---|---|
| 1 | IEI -> LII -> SLI -> ESI -> IEI |
| 2 | IEE -> LIE -> SLE -> ESE -> IEE |
| 3 | LSI -> ILI -> EII -> SEI -> LSI |
| 4 | SEE -> LSE -> ILE -> EIE -> SEE |
What Model L Says
The Direction Dissolves At Sixteen Functions
At Model L resolution, the old Benefit ring separates into two symmetric relations: Augmenting and Galvanizing. The Model A pairings remain, but the interpretation changes.
Galvanizing
Both Base elements coincide on the Galvanizing position, C4. This is a background radial relation: each type's Base energises material the other runs on quietly.
