Additional notes

The Aristotelian relations (CD,C,SC,SA) hardly seem applicable in this diagram, which shows the four elements from Aristotelian natural philosophy:

- in the A-vertex: ignis / calidus et siccus
- in the E-vertex: aer / calidus et humidus
- in the I-vertex: terra / frigida et sicca
- in the O-vertex: aqua / frigida et humida
