The following are the matrix procedures for
calculating corresponding regressions. =

The program was written in the GAUSS
matrix language and should be easily
translated into other languages. In the
program each of the columns of x are
compared with one another. Each
comparison lets each of the variables
stand as the hypothetical dv and iv in
turn. rde correlations are calculated and
subtracted to obtain the D statistic.
When D is significantly negative, the
variable printed on the left is the IV.

The data included in the program
is the mandala grid. All of the D's for
this data are zero, indicating no formal
cause relationships. That is, the
variables of the mandala matrix are
coordinates- not subordinates, nor
superordinates of one another. =
