you still here @GeordieLaForge ?
CAGED would be AGEDC, GEDCA, EDCAG or DCAGE depending on the root note of the scale played, as this would move up the fret board, with the last pattern rotating down to the beginning.
Or have I missed a crucial part of the system?
Of course the solution (as always) is to tune to C standard so that the old E shape becomes a C. CAGED makes more sense and everything sounds better (this possibly only makes sense after a requisite amount of C standard bong smoking).

The first chord in Burt Weedon's 'Play In A Day' is a C.
Bobby Shaftoe's gone to sea. Silver Buckles on his knee ...
1st song I ever learned.
I rest my case.

... yeah too bad you never officially learned guitar
It's a good point the barre chords are really sort of inversions - do the chord-shapes with wider intervals ( greater than a 4th ) i.e. E, A, D lend themselves to inversions though? C and G are like piano chords laid out in ascending intervals of a third, the others are stacked fifths or there-abouts - can we think of those in terms of inversions?
Is that not correct?
Well, it definitely is correct, I've just drawn it all out to double check! But is that not where the pattern names come from?

The E shape chord is deffo not possible to invert, unless you include the 2nd inversion that you get when you miss the bottom E string (eg x77655 for an A 2nd inversion) - but I don’t think anyone really does that, do they?
But yep you’re right, it’s the C chord that is most useful as an inversion. I use the full fat version of it a lot - eg 476454 for an E 1st inversion.
