Is the Klien Group, or Klien Group Four model, developed by Felix Klein, often depicted as a diamond shape or a square with terms that are opposites written at opposing corners of the diagram? I have recently encountered this and wondered if this was common practice. How does this differ from using a Cayley Table to depict relationships? I would like to stress that I am a psychologist and not a mathematician so can you please keep answers simple! Thank you.
Thanks Tony, I have changed the question title. The research I am attempting to evaluate used the Klein group to depict psychological or philosophical space by using polar opposites in Klein group configuration. Do you think that such a depiction is methodologically sound from your perspective? What would be the psychological difference between arranging items in a Z2 x Z2 or cyclic group? I hope I am making my question clear.
