It can be thought of as being [[W: M-theory#Dualities | dual]] to [https://psychology.wikia.org/wiki/Cultural_theory_of_risk Grid-Group Cultural Theory] in the sense that each can be transformed in some way so that it ends up looking just like the other theory. There are some similarities in approach to [[W:Theory of Basic Human Values | Schwartz's Theory of Basic Human Values]] and [[W:Rokeach Value Survey | Rokeach's Value Survey]].
The core concept is that there are three teloses or axiomatic end goals which are fundamentally incompatible with each other. Favoring any one telos comes at the expense of another. In this way the model is an attempt to show how differing balances of core values result in different ideological positions.

===Semantics===
There is a lot of debate about what the best term to use for each of the three teloses is. It is also possible that there is no perfect word in English to describe each concept due to the nuance. The goal is that each is a in dependent and incompatible principle component of the space of values. This directly implies the necessity for the tradeoffs described by the metric space.
The concept of freedom is quite well defined in the liberal tradition which arose from the enlightenment. Some academics prefer to define this component as individualism or autonomy. Other academics prefer to define it by its inverse of authoritarianism. <ref>Stenner, K. (2005). ''The Authoritarian Dynamic''. Cambridge University Press. 13-27.</ref> All three components have an inverse where the person does not subscribe to the Telos at all. This would correspond to a whole side of the triangle since there are more ways to not follow a telos than there are to follow one.
The more common term for Equality in modern times is Equity. This clarifies that the Equality Telos is the desire for equality of outcome. The term for the group holding the ideal of Equity is often preferred to be labelled as Egalitarian instead of Leftist. However, the term Egalitarian has a wider and more conflicting set of use cases in literature.
The Tradition axis is likely the most controversial in definition because it is the only one which implies a temporal nature to the model. This is not intended to be identified with status quo conservatives<ref name=3types>{{cite journal |first=Karen |last=Stenner |title=Three kinds of "conservatism" |journal=Psychological Inquiry (2-3), 142-159 |volume=20 |issue=1 |pages=142–159 |date=25 August 2009|doi=10.1080/10478400903028615 |s2cid=143878133 }}</ref>
. It is intended to be aligned with the historic values of structure, order and stability. Many scholars would label the group who hold this telos as Hierarchists to prevent confusion with the multiple ideologies labelled as [[W:Conservatism | Conservatism]] which have significant overlap with Liberalism.
