Channels

Channels are 36 fixed pathways connecting two centers. When both gates at either end are activated (personality and/or design), the channel is defined — a reliable energy circuit.

What a defined channel means

• Consistent access to that circuit's theme
• The two centers operate as one definition group for definition counting
• Motor→Throat channels influence types (Manifestor / MG patterns)

Partial activation

One gate active only → hanging gate; theme may spike when others bring the partner gate.

Circuit groups

Circuit group	Theme	Channels
Individual	Mutation, empowerment, knowing	15
Collective	Sharing for humanity	14
Tribal	Support, bargains, resources	7
Integration	Personal survival, self-empowerment	4 (also counted within Individual teaching)

Sub-circuits: Individual Knowing, Centering, Integration; Collective Logic (Understanding) and Sensing (Abstract); Tribal Ego and Defense.

All 36 channels

Each note uses slug channel-{lower}-{higher} (numeric gate pair). Gate order on the chart may appear reversed; the channel is the same.
