Expansion of idea from last night.
Hierarchal relations of attraction.
Picture a triangle in two dimensions.
Now think of people that you like. You probably like people in different ways, but those ways can usually be classified into two or three larger groups: Potential lovers, friends (family - often included within friends, but sometimes not).
Each group gets a separate pyramid.
People that you meet get placed onto one of your pyramids right when you meet them, but they can then move to a different one or move back and forth between them as you get to know them better (One person can never occupy two or more pyramids at the same time, though he/she might move back and forth between them very very frequently.). These people are placed at different heights on the pyramid by you, according to how much they attract you (sexual or emotional or mental).
A persons position on your pyramid can fluctuate constantly, but some continue to rise towards the top. Those that stay near the top get the most attention.
People for whom your attraction fades drift towards the bottom at a rate equal to the speed of the loss of attraction.
Most people keep their pyramids a fairly close secret. It's very personally revealing to share that information with someone else, and also gives them power over you.

So if im thinking of this correctly, you have a pyramid with multiple faces. For this example let's say three faces, and each face represents a different catagory of relationship. Say Friends, Family and Romantic. Now say you meet someone your physically interested in, they may begin very low on the friends side (or face) of the pyramid, with luck they may move up the friends side just a little and then start moving sideways to the romantic, they then would begin the ascend the romantic side either indefinatly in which case they may begin to even rotate part way into the family side (e.g. marriage) or they could slip back onto the friends side and slide all the way back down to the bottom and eventually of the pyramid.
If I've understood the idea and relayed everything correctly I actually really like it. It's also kind of a model about how and relationship between people takes work (The analogy of climbing the side of the pyramid). It does have the faint oder of an example you would find in a self help book though. I think you should write a self help book.
Oh yeah, I'm aware that the idea is horribly tacky as it is, but I would never knowingly consign myself to the hell i see as quasi-religious ass drippings.
This is a construct that I saw as bearing some resemblance to how attraction works. Maybe it could be a diamond with people that are hated on the opposite side?
If I were to actually use this in some way, it would have to have blood and robots and possibly a geisha in it. Maybe an island.
or two four faced pyramids each with one face touching with one point up and on point down. To further the analogy, once people hit the bottom of the positive pyramid they can just sit there and relax or a tiny nudge sends them on to the negative pyramid and then it's easy to slide down into more and more dislike.
