see conversation in iMessages. This is it's own thing, similar to tidygraph. Ipsative data is everywhere, really (time? budgets?), and it depends on how you look at them where you see them. Psychometry (Rep-Grid and Q) are only some examples. Also relates to austrian economists.

This requires special data storage, because ipsative data always depends on the context and must be similarly scaled (logical, interval, ratio).

So a matrix is a great idea to store it, and then to store that matrix inside a tibble.

Of course on top of that, there'll need to be a lot of special analysis methods with take this into account, which most current algorithms don't. (Or you analyse by row, then you're fine).
