A father enforces Law & Logic (Logos), deploying principles of discrimination, cognition, and objective judgment. He cuts through ambiguity to establish command structure, operational rules, and clear boundaries.

A mother is the base of operations the secure command post from which a child launches and returns for safety. She represents the foundational reality, the original territory, from which the young recruit must eventually deploy to become an individual.​

A mother delivers unconditional love & support based on inherent status ("I love you because you are my child"). This establishes the fundamental security clearance that one is worthy of life regardless of their actions.
