This paper presents the complete archetypal taxonomy of the Triadic Psychological Architecture (TPA) and Triadic Balance Framework (TBF): 27 base configurations derived from three motivational domains — SPAA, AEACFO, and ECA — at three expression levels (−, ~, +), expanding to 54 total configurations when each base archetype is modulated by the iSPAA/sSPAA regulatory state distinction. The taxonomy is the observational and applied face of the architecture: it translates abstract domain percentages into recognizable human patterns and provides practitioners with the vocabulary for configurational assessment. The paper is organized in four sections. Section I presents the 8 Prime Archetypes — the theoretical boundary conditions of the model, representing extreme single-domain dominance, dual-domain combinations, and the null/full states. Section II presents all 27 archetypes in dual-state format: each archetype appears twice — once under iSPAA (showing the characteristic defensive, suppressed, or conscripted expressions) and once under sSPAA (showing baseline-capacity expression) — with observational signatures using the Fortress/Water/Stone embodied recognition framework (SPAA = Fortress, AEACFO = Water, ECA = Stone), domain-targeted restoration recommendations, and key distinctions for clinical assessment. Section III maps archetypes to historical philosophical traditions, political ideologies, and contemplative frameworks — showing how the domain architecture explains persistent intellectual disagreements as configuration-located epistemologies rather than purely logical disputes. Section IV presents the Bidirectional Dynamics Architecture: how regulatory states and baseline domain degrees mutually influence each other through Asymmetric Bidirectionality and Co-Regularity Baseline Shift (CBS). A central principle running through the entire taxonomy: archetypes are configurations, not identities. The same individual can occupy different configurations across time, context, and relationship. What presents as stable character is often configuration-expression shaped by developmental history and structural conditions — a suppressed baseline is not a constitutionally low baseline, and the distinction carries different intervention implications. The compassionate anti-essentialist framing is architectural, not aspirational: it follows directly from TPA's proportional suppression model and the five-factor developmental suppression account. Key constructs introduced or extended: Configurational Emancipation (dissolution of contempt and admiration through perceptual reframing, not moral effort); Configurational Clarity (the state between contempt and admiration — clearer seeing with full care intact, distinct from equanimity or non-attachment); the AEACFO Regulatory Gradient (care suppresses under iSPAA rather than redirecting toward self, and its operative scope contracts from all-others to circumferential-self before going near-offline); ECA Redirection (curiosity conscripted toward certainty-seeking under threat, not silenced — producing elevated but narrowed inquiry); and the Proportional Suppression model (high-baseline domains persist at metabolic cost under iSPAA; low-baseline domains collapse entirely). This paper presupposes familiarity with the three-domain architecture and iSPAA/sSPAA distinction introduced in Paper 1. Current epistemic status: 8/10 internal coherence — 3/10 empirical validation — observational taxonomy pending inter-rater reliability validation through TOCS.
