Personally, I do read it in terms of all the mediated relations that
'division of labor' takes part not just the one mediating the social
role, but especially the one between the motives...
Leaving out most of the different roles is for the purpose of clarity
in a particular piece--all of you know how you can get slaughtered in
the review process if you 'have too many themes...'
Similarly, the 'rules' mediate relations not just between individual
and community, but individual-object, tools-community, and so on...
At least, this is how I understood Yrjö to mean the diagram and the
relations that it expresses.
