Description
This diagram was done (some years ago) from a table of correspondences of the Chinese five elements. I transformed the interactive and cyclic attributes into a diagram (I think they are more understandable that way) and kept most of the other entries in the tabular form at the bottom. It was done to help a friend with research for a story, and I don't claim to understand it.The program I used for this is called Freehand, and it is still my favorite vector-based drawing program.

I think perhaps the best thing might be for you to write it up and put it in your gallery, where I could link to it, and many people could benefit from the information.
