Overview
single definition means that the complete active-Channel graph has exactly 1 connected component among its defined Centers. This page explains single definition as a graph-connectivity result. It does not claim that a person is internally complete, divided, social, independent, or dependent. For “Single Definition,” verify the normalized birth input, both calculation timestamps, exact positions, active Gates, complete Channels, and dependent graph fields. Counting colored Centers is not enough: Definition counts connected components, so the same number of defined Centers can still produce a different Definition when the Channel paths change. Definition is a structural chart field, not evidence of relationship needs, cognitive integration, social ability, or psychological diagnosis. That audit trail lets another reader reproduce the answer without relying on visual color or intuition. Only then should the attributed traditional interpretation be considered. Keep unknown values visible and compare calculators only after their input and settings match.

- Counting colored Centers is not enough: Definition counts connected components, so the same number of defined Centers can still produce a different Definition when the Channel paths change.
- Worked check
- Build the graph from complete Channels, group every defined Center reachable through those Channels, and count the groups. A count of 1 is required for this label.
- Interpretation limit

- Verification status
- Recalculate from declared inputs and versioned graph rules before interpretation.
Direct answer and scope
This page explains single definition as a graph-connectivity result. It does not claim that a person is internally complete, divided, social, independent, or dependent.
This page owns the narrow question named “Single Definition”. It does not replace the parent guide or silently expand into unsupported Gate, Line, Channel, Cross, compatibility, or transit meanings.
Calculation evidence and required conditions
single definition means that the complete active-Channel graph has exactly 1 connected component among its defined Centers.
Recalculate from normalized birth input, declared astronomical settings, engine version, full-precision positions, and the complete active-Channel graph. Record unknown values instead of filling them with an assumed noon or a preferred label.
Comparison and common confusion
Counting colored Centers is not enough: Definition counts connected components, so the same number of defined Centers can still produce a different Definition when the Channel paths change.
A neighboring term may sound similar while using a different timestamp, graph condition, hierarchy branch, or output field. Compare the actual input and rule before merging the two explanations.
Worked verification example
Build the graph from complete Channels, group every defined Center reachable through those Channels, and count the groups. A count of 1 is required for this label.
Preserve the original input and output, change one relevant condition, and run the same calculation again. The comparison is useful only when every other setting remains fixed and the changed result is recorded.
Limits, sources, and stop rule
Definition is a structural chart field, not evidence of relationship needs, cognitive integration, social ability, or psychological diagnosis.
