The empty circles represent the chord, all the circles represent the penatonic scale and the green notes are the additional notes to add to create the full major or minor scale. This way you can see the layers in CAGED.
personally I tend to use the logic of 3nps far more as it is more interval based, and when you start using different tunings, then I find that approach far more adaptable than CAGED patterns. I also prefer 3nps because I can play in any mode in any key from any note on the fretboard
but CAGED is an excellent representation of a lot of concepts and extremely useful
I like your term 'see the layers in CAGED'.
Cobain's vocal melodies contain a lot of thirds and sixths, filling in chord information that is missing from the guitar. This is one of the things that makes them pop. You can find these notes instinctively, but knowing the theory can help you to quickly identify and audition them
I'd argue the opposite, that knowing the rules empowers you to more readily break them :-)
Is that fair as it's how I look at my guitar journey?

Yes Aeolian is minor pentatonic with added 2 and b6 like you said and same re your explanation of Ionian.
And yes totally agree re the modes, I related those to the pentatonic shapes just like you explained.
And yes I love mixing major and minor pentatonics and use a number of devices to do this, some CAGED but also a lot of straight intervallic ideas and a system I developed called The Cross System. I think it's good to have different systems to use so that you can come up with a variety of ideas.
All good stuff, cheers!

Super annoying though, I feel your pain, had a right palaver with our internet a while back!
But really, it’s only a jumping-off point, especially into the world of chord voicing and voice leading. And you jumped off and into the rest of it a long time ago, I would guess, based on your mastery of music in general.
Fwiw, CAGED illuminated a ton of voicing and arpeggio possibilities for me. So idk what this silly poster is talking about.
If you come to guitar as your first instrument I think it’s probably really useful, a bit like learning your scales as a pianist. It’s really one of the fundaments of how to play the guitar “properly”.
