Each archetype is associated with a node of the pentagon. Nodes of the pentagon are numbered sequentially beginning with the DNA–Water element (node 1) of the pentagon, which is the first focus node. An archetype results from the focus of the archetype that is then expressed to successive nodes that are reached by the Ko cycle. A single Shen cycle returns to the focus node. Figure 3 shows that the pattern formed is a triangle. Emotions included in the archetype can be concatenated from the table, but, in this case, they are all negative destructive emotions for the archetype.

N, node; E, expression.
