I wanted to include links to other related communities in this community. I was trying to come up with terms for all these related relationship types, and then I remembered that this venn existed. I’ve seen numerous versions of this previously. This one happens to come from (https://polyadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nonmonogamy3-large-768x512.png) or REALLY ENORMOUS (https://www.xeromag.com/sexualinformatics/nonmonogamy2.5.2.gif) See, I even credited my source. :-D
Cool, what term would you use to describe this diagram?
(https://www.splashlearn.com/math-vocabulary/geometry/venn-diagram)
bunch of overlapping rectangles….
a venn diagram shows all possible intersections within groups… and is kinda pointless past 4….
this one seems to be just intentionally over complicating things for entertainment
I was going to correct you but you’re actually right. The term for this is a Euler diagram. I think they’re more useful.
I’m pretty sure “intentionally over complicating things for entertainment” overlaps significantly with most forms of “Non-monogamy”, and with “the human experience”. ;-) The pertinent question is, which of these rectangles/ explanatory examples fits for a given person, and which one’s don’t? I believe this diagram was developed to help us understand where we fit in the poly-schema we’ve developed.
no… it’s completely useless for explaining anything…
like, see how religious non monogamy doesn’t overlap with commerce?
the point of a venmo diagram is to visually represent if there’s something in that overlap or not.
it’s basically satire of a venn diagram….
