All 64 Gates and 36 Channels belong to one of four Circuit groups, each with a completely different purpose, audience, and mode of operation: (1) Individual Circuitry (Knowing Circuit + Centering Circuit): Unique, mutative, empowering-or-not energy. Does not ask for recognition or validation. It expresses — and either empowers or does not. The source of all mutation in the human species. (2) Collective Circuitry (Logic Circuit + Abstract Circuit): Energy designed for sharing. Logic Circuit channels are about patterns, systems, and the future. Abstract Circuit channels are about experience, memory, and the past. (3) Tribal Circuitry (Defense Circuit + Ego/Support Circuit): Governs the survival and support of the group. Fundamentally transactional — "I will do this for you if you do this for me." (4) Integration Channels (Gates 10, 20, 34, 57): Do not belong to any Circuit. About individual survival and self-empowerment — the capacity to be oneself in the present moment.
