A person with a single definition

A person with a single definition in their Human Design has all their defined centers (colored in on the body-graph) connected to each other in one continuous circuit. This brings certain characteristics to their behavior:

1. Self-Sufficient and Independent: Single definition individuals often possess a strong sense of self-sufficiency and independence. They have an inherent wholeness about them and can make decisions and process information on their own.
2. Consistent and Reliable: Their energy flows smoothly within them, making their behavior and decision-making processes consistent and reliable. This doesn't mean they are predictable in every aspect of their life, but their core energy dynamics are stable and consistent.
3. Less Need for Others in Decision-Making: Unlike split definitions, single definitions do not have a built-in need for others to bridge a gap in their energy. They can make decisions independently and generally do not rely on others to feel complete or to make decisions.
4. Potential for Not Understanding Others' Perspectives: On the flip side, they might have difficulty understanding why others (especially those with a split, triple, or quadruple definition) might need more time or input from others to make decisions. They may need to consciously practice empathy and patience with others who operate differently.
5. Decision Making: The process of decision-making is primarily determined by the person's Type and Authority, not by having a single definition. The single definition simply means that the energy flows through the defined centers without interruption.
6. Potential for Isolation: Despite their independence, single definition individuals also need interaction with others. There can be a risk of isolation if they rely too heavily on their self-sufficiency.

Remember, having a single definition doesn't make a person better or worse than someone with a different definition. It's simply one aspect of their unique Human Design. Understanding this can help them navigate relationships and situations more effectively.
