No Definition
No centre is wired to another by a full channel; every centre is open.
How it is read from a chart
No completed channel joins any two centres, so nothing in the chart is defined. This is the chart of the Reflector, the rarest of the five types.
Definition is settled by the channels, not chosen: a centre counts as defined when a channel running into it is completed on both ends, and the categories here simply count how many separate groups those defined centres form. That makes definition one of the more mechanical layers of the chart, in the sense that two readers working from the same birth data should arrive at the same answer.
This category maps onto a single type: The Reflector.
What the system claims it means
The system describes such a person as sampling and mirroring the environment rather than running on a fixed inner circuit, and it is the basis of the lunar authority it assigns them.
This is the one definition category that maps onto a single type, which is why the Reflector and the no-definition chart are effectively the same subject.
Register The count of groups is structural. The claim about how such a person processes information or connects with others is the system’s own characterization, reported here in its voice. The archive documents the model and does not evaluate it; what evidence exists for the system’s claims generally is set out at the validation record.
Where definition sits among the other layers
Definition depends on the channels, which in turn depend on which gates are activated, so it is downstream of the parts of the chart that come straight from the calculation. It is upstream of type and authority, both of which the system reads partly from which centres are defined. The full picture is at the definition overview, and the order a chart is read in is at how to read a chart.
The category by other names
The definition categories are one of the places the schools leave the vocabulary alone. Quantum Human Design renames the five types and the six lines and reframes the incarnation cross, but no renaming of the definition categories was located in its own published materials, and none is supplied here. The Gene Keys does not carry definition at all, working from the sixty-four gates recast as a spectrum from Shadow through Gift to Siddhi rather than from the BodyGraph.
Where a school’s treatment could not be verified from its own materials, this archive records that rather than inferring one. The full map is at Divergence.
