??so what about the idea that the split real form is the real form most like the complex form (in a certain way...) and the compact real form is the one least like it, and the others are in between these extremes?? .... vs the other way around...

??for an intermediate form, does each grassmanian manifest as either real or complex?? ??or something?? ... and so forth... ??what _about_ "symmetric spaces" here?? ... and so forth ... ??...
