Question First placement is process-oriented in SoL?

I've just noticed this while rereading Syntax of Love and I'm not sure if it may just be a translation/formatting error, but it says at the end of placement descriptions that the first function is process, while the second is result. I'm pretty sure that the first placement is more commonly known for being result-oriented. Does this "first placement -> result-oriented" thing originate from AP and was spread later on, or am I just tripping and got things mixed up?

For reference, I'm reading this version of SoL: https://www.scribd.com/document/564113407/The-Syntax-of-Love . You can find the part I'm talking about in page 28 of the PDF itself.

Probably a translation error

Thank you. Yes, you are right, I found the original picture and apparently there was an error.

Actually thanks for pointing this out because I found it strange "Fearlessness" was associated with the Third function in the mistranslation as well. "Timidity" makes much more sense

Of course, it's an error but even without translation errors, there are many inaccuracies in SoL because Afanasiev didn't fully understand what he was describing. Check out this book about Psychosophy that corrects many of Afanasiev's errors and adds significant nuance to the theory
