AuthorityAuthority is the internal mechanical process by which a form resolves actions without distortion by conditioned mental interference. It is the location within the design that can be trusted to make reliable decisions for…DefinitionAwakenessTo be awake is the mechanical state maintained when the form operates correctly according to its Strategy and Authority, having undergone a process of De-Conditioning. It is a state of being an objective witness…DefinitionAwarenessIn Human Design mechanics, Awareness is not a psychological state but a mechanical function of the form. It is the potential for objective observation that arises when the Passenger can witness the life of the Vehicle…DefinitionCorrectnessCorrectness is the mechanical state where the form's decisions, movements, and adaptations arise from its own internal Authority and Strategy, rather than from conditioned mental distortions (Not-Self). It is the result…DefinitionDesign (Unconscious)The Design refers to the unconscious aspect of a person's Natal Design. It is calculated approximately 88 degrees of solar arc before birth and is represented by the Red markings in a The Bodygraph. The Design represents…DefinitionDifferentiationDifferentiation is the mechanical process that makes every human being unique. Just as every cell in the body contains the full DNA code but is differentiated to perform a specific function (e.g., a blood cell vs. a…DefinitionEgo AuthorityEgo Authority is a rare Inner Authority rooted in a defined Ego Center. It is available only when no higher-priority Emotional, Sacral, or Splenic Authority is present. Its decisions are organized around genuine will:…DefinitionEmotional AuthorityEmotional Authority is the Inner Authority of anyone with a defined Solar Plexus Center. Because the Solar Plexus stands first in the authority hierarchy, its process takes precedence over every other possible decision…DefinitionGeometryIn Human Design, Geometry refers to the trajectory of a form through spacetime. Life is a matter of geometry, not choice. The Magnetic Monopole acts as the "driver" that guides the Vehicle along its predetermined path.…DefinitionInner AuthorityInner Authority is the body's innate, non-mental, and reliable decision-making process. It is the core mechanic that allows an individual to navigate life with minimal resistance, according to their unique Natal Design.…DefinitionLunar AuthorityLunar Authority is the decision-making process unique to the Reflector Type. Because a Reflector has no defined Centers, there is no fixed internal signal that can serve as Inner Authority. Clarity for significant…DefinitionMental AuthorityMental Authority is the conventional name for the decision process of a Projector whose Definition is entirely at or above the Throat Center, with no defined Center below the Throat. It is also called Environmental or…DefinitionNatal DesignSee: The BodygraphAliasNo ChoiceA fundamental principle of the mechanics, stating that life is a deterministic unfolding. The form is a bio-mechanism moving through space, responding to the The Program. Personal choice is an illusion of the Not-Self…DefinitionOuter AuthorityOuter Authority is the correct function of the Mind. When liberated from the burden of making decisions for the self, the mind's comparative and conceptualizing intelligence becomes a valuable resource for others. Its…DefinitionPassenger ConsciousnessThe state of awareness of the Passenger. It is the surrendered acceptance of No Choice and the role of being a non-identified witness to the life of the Vehicle. It is watching the "movie" of one's life unfold without…DefinitionPersonality (Conscious)The Personality refers to the conscious aspect of a person's Natal Design. It is calculated at the moment of birth and is represented by the Black markings in a The Bodygraph. The Personality is "who you think you are."…DefinitionProfileProfile, along with Type, provides the simplest synthetic view of a Natal Design. It is derived from the Lines of the Personality and Design Sun/Earth activations. It is expressed as two numbers (e.g., 1/3, 5/1, 6/2).…DefinitionPurposeIn Human Design, purpose is not a goal to be sought by the Mind. It is the mechanical byproduct of living correctly as oneself. One's unique purpose is encoded in their Incarnation Cross. However, this purpose cannot be…DefinitionRave Mandala vs BodygraphThese are two distinct but hierarchically connected maps in Human Design. The Rave Mandala What it is: The full systemic map of the environmental conditioning architecture. It is the 360° wheel that contains the 64…DefinitionSacral AuthoritySacral Authority is the Inner Authority for a Generator or Manifesting Generator who does not have a defined Solar Plexus Center. It represents approximately 35% of humanity. This Authority operates through the sacral…DefinitionSelf-Projected AuthoritySelf-Projected Authority is a rare Inner Authority found only in Projectors with a defined connection from the G Center to the Throat Center and no higher-priority authority. Identity, love, and direction are projected…DefinitionSplenic AuthoritySplenic Authority is the Inner Authority of a Manifestor or Projector with a defined Splenic Center and without a defined Solar Plexus Center or Sacral Center. It is the highest available authority in that configuration.…DefinitionStrategyStrategy is the form’s innate mechanical method for navigating The Maia with minimal resistance. It is determined by Type. Following one's Strategy is not a mental choice but a gradual mechanical re-alignment that tunes…DefinitionThe BodygraphThe Bodygraph is the mechanical map of a form’s fixed Natal Design. It is a visual representation, or circuit matrix, of the internal structural wiring that organizes how a form processes conditioning from the…DefinitionTrue SelfIn the mechanics of Human Design, the "True Self" is not an aspirational goal but the simple, mechanical byproduct of correct operation. It is the state that emerges when decisions are consistently made according to…DefinitionTypeHumanity is mechanically divided into four Types, which describe the form’s Aura mechanics and its correct Strategy for interacting with The Maia. Type emerges from the Definition (or lack thereof) of specific Centers in…DefinitionUnconsciousIn Human Design, the unconscious is not a psychological concept but a mechanical one. It refers to the aspects of one's Natal Design that are inaccessible to the conscious Mind. Source: The unconscious is derived from…DefinitionYin and YangThe principles of Yin (the feminine, receptive principle, symbolized by a broken line) and Yang (the masculine, active principle, symbolized by an unbroken line) are foundational to the Binary nature of Human Design. The…Definition
