that's a diagram that would be presented in the context of a 2 hour long lecture where the entities and relationships expressed graphically would be explained verbally. if you take anything non-obvious out of context then it will seem confusing.
after you've acquired several years worth of math and physics as background, sure. You don't think, maybe, you're looking at something you don't have requisite background in?

last time I studied physics was 10 years ago, whereas I deal with philosophical stuff every day. Therefore I'm much less confident in understanding quantum physicists than I am philsophy

let's just cut to the end. you've got a political dispute with Peterson which is why you want to criticize him. you don't care much about the academic subject matter, do you? don't suppose you've spent a lot of energy criticizing any other psychologists.
-
and that's fine. I disagree with a lot of his political stances too. why not critique those directly though?
-
it's a strange way to have a discourse, ya know? Speaker: "I advocate Policy A to address rising anomie and economic problems in society" Critic: "your work on the migratory patterns of sea-birds in Chile is second rate!"
-
I'm not talking about his academic work though, am I? I'm talking about his weird self-help stuff, which is why he's famous. I've shown you explicit quotes which somehow are irrelevant because I haven't spent hours trawling through his work
-
yes, of limited relevance because shallow understanding of complicated subject matter does not produce highly relevant criticisms. repeating myself: make better criticisms. practice steel-manning. practice charitable interpretation. engage with material before dismissing it.
-
we're all heavily time constrained so I don't expect everyone to want to or be able to do this. that's totally fine. criticize something else in that case. there's lots of easy political bad-takes to criticize.
-
yes and a lot of them come from Peterson, including the takes that explicitly prompted the thread I linked to in the OP
