> I kind of fear my analogy of two different dimensions breaks down here because I'm left wondering what things would have a low "toolness" score ...

Maybe expressing it as a complex number would help, eg. toolness + i(toyness)

In polar form a low angle would indicate a high "toolness to toyness" ratio.

The (real, complex) plane is equivalent to (toyness, toolness) although it is an interesting idea indeed to express it in polar coordinates hah
