The relationship
Also the element that generates the Day Master, with opposite polarity, so it comes toward the person rather than at their own angle. This is ordinary, reliable support: teaching, family backing, credentials, being looked after well enough to afford to think.
How it shows up
Prominent where people were supported and can therefore take in what is offered: students who flourish with teaching, people who are trusted early and given room. They tend to be generous in turn and good at absorbing a body of knowledge properly.
Where the cost is
The cost is dependence. Support that always arrives makes it easy never to have to find out whether you can manage without it, and being looked after can shade into being kept.
What keeps it in proportion
Output closes the loop. Producing something of your own turns received support into transmitted support.
