I just figured out a way to do something like a pseudo eigenvalue/eigenvector analysis of projects: basically break them down by weight on my make-your-own-rules triangle diagram ribbonfarm.com/2018/02/15/mak

If anyone wants to try this, the basic idea is to take any project, like "buy a house" or "write a book" or "launch a product" and assign weights to 6 eigenvector directions (3 vertices, 3 middles). Unassigned weight goes towards the interior (annular/void regions)

So the weight vector is: [goat, rat, crow, identity, arrival, change, memes, void]. The first 6 are vector components, the last two are scalars. Weight in last 2 reflects ambiguity in how/why you are doing something.

If you can do this for all your projects, and sum weights by component, you'll get a sort of heat map of where your attention and energy are going. Combine with the rule-making principles of the post to make better rules where there is more "heat" to handle.

I'm using the terms metaphorically. Yes, if you actually wanted to learn about eigenvalues etc any standard linear algebra text will do the job, and give you the grounding needed to grok the metaphor.
