| Life-path fit9 and 2 come from different groups — the 3-6-9 group (expressive, outward-facing) and the 2-4-8 group (practical, structural). Read as friction that can be productive. | +8 / 20 |

Complementary gaps are weighted above shared traits on purpose: Lo Shu practice looks for what one chart supplies to the other, not for sameness. Two identical charts share every strength and every blind spot.
The reading
The clearest thing in these two charts is what each one covers for the other: Robert C. Merton carries 3, 4, which Paul Samuelson’s date does not contain; Paul Samuelson carries 5, which Robert C. Merton’s does not. In Lo Shu practice this is the reading that matters most — not shared traits, but supplied ones.
Both are missing 6, 8. A shared gap is read as the failure mode neither person spots, because it looks normal to both of them.
Paul Samuelson alone completes Line of Resolve; Robert C. Merton alone completes Line of Reason, Line of Expression, Cooperation.
Life paths 9 and 2 come from different groups. Tradition reads cross-group pairs as effortful and, where the effort is made, durable.
