In reference to the clan, Valjalo graphed that the national clan is "totally bounded, contained and familiar" and added that "the clan begins in the cradle and ends in the cemetery", explaining at the same time that the implicit meaning is the concept of "immovability".
The last of the dimensions highlighted by Valjalo was the evident youth and immaturity that characterizes the country, arguing that Chile is still in a stage of emotional and economic development. "We are like an infantile country, not very constant and even imitative", he said, adding that the implicit meaning is "an inexperienced country". For the same reason, it is a country in transformation, which "is living a journey, a process, a trip, but in an insular and distant way". Finally, he explained that another key element is "control and connection. We experience these sensations through the land, attached to the traditions, almost huasos. The countryside symbolizes the cultural roots".
