@auburn, thanks for your reply, it casts a light over many a shadow. That being said, it's hard to see how to use that model to distinguish the auxiliary from the tertiary. Let's take an example. SeFi has Fi and Te as auxiliary and tertiary, which according to your model we know they are subservient to Se's agenda. Further, we have the idea that Fi and Te have a slightly different energetic toll, which fair enough, but what about looking at SeFi l-l- vs SeFi ll--, for example? You might say that Fi has a supportive narrative role whereas Te has a more adversarial role, which as far as it goes is ok, but then we see people who seem to have more of an adversarial role with their auxiliary and team up with their tertiary.
 
I propose to fix this by saying we have hierarchy all the way down, a lordship of lords. What do I mean? Se is lord over all in the SeFi. What distinguishes Fi and Te is that while they are both subservient to the same lord, Te is also subservient to Fi. Likewise, Ni in the SeFi, even if fully conscious, would serve the agendas of the other functions, while perhaps less so than if it were not fully conscious.
