Like if you were to place a hypothetical person at the top of the y axis and then extrapolate back what agree/disagree statements they would have needed to get in that position, would those statements be enough to give you an intuitive sense of what "North" means on that specific map?

Ah I see, the coordinates are just the output of the dimension reducing algorithm. Can the cardinal directions be useful for navigating the clusters?
