The Unified Model holds that the aspect-dependent effects primarily determine the apperance of the active galactic nucleus that we observe. However, additional parameters will be needed to fully unify the different tribes of AGN. Three parameters; aspect, accretion rate into the nuclear regions, and the evolutionary status of the central black hole probably hold the key to “grand” unification schemes.
