Mechanics
Opposition (Polarity)
The relationship between two gates that sit directly across from each other in the Rave Mandala, separated by 180 degrees. Each gate has a natural polarity — an opposing gate that completes it. When one side of a polarity is activated in Design and the other in Personality (or two people carry opposing gates), they can form an electromagnetic connection, completing a channel. Understanding polarity is central to reading relationship composites and understanding a gate's full potential.
