You’re a step ahead of me!
I saw the diagram only as a tool for self-analysis. Stuck in first perspective I failed to notice, as you hint, that it’s applicable to interactions with others.
It would be a great map to guide our interaction with, for example, people we find ‘difficult’.
May I provide a half-formed example!
I work in a company where people typically adopt a critical stance towards new ideas. Or they rely on their position of authority to win an argument. I always like to facilitate a more reasoned approach. However, I lack a map to structure my perception of the ‘other’ that could guide my behaviour. I rely on automatic habit.
Your diagram would provide new options - in an easy to consume manner - that would help a facilitator not to feel stuck (i.e. lacking options).

Hope you continue to pursue your idea further!
Thanks.
