There are still two decisions on this triangle. The choices are just not mutually-exclusive. You have individualism/self-control vs. external control, and inherent hierarchies vs. no inherent hierarchies. What the triangle does that a quadrilateral would not is express the foci between these two spectrums for compatible ideologies only so much that the spectrums are mutually exclusive. For example, egalitarianism and individualism are mutually-exclusive in many cases, so you can't be purely one and purely the other at the same time. The more extremely individualistic you are the less extremely egalitarian you can potentially be. That isn't to say there aren't overlaps between the two, though.
The order vs. chaos spectrum can be interpreted correctly but often it runs into connotation issues, because when people think of "chaos" they thing "random" or "unorganized." I think a better terminology to replace it would be "centrally planned" vs. "decentrally planned", "design-oriented" vs. "action-oriented", or "planned order" vs. "spontaneous order."
