This project can be understood through four connected stages: # 1. The Layers of Human Ability - The first stage is the development of the **Eight Layers of Human Ability** that categorises the recurring patterns of human development and ability through a layered binary system. # 2. How these Layers are Naturally Expressed - Each of the eight layers are expressed independently through three unique domains, our **Mind**, **Body** and **Environment**. These domains each shape which layers we are naturally stronger in and which we are naturally weaker in, changing the way we each process and engage with the world around us. # 3. How these Layers become Imbalanced - Each layer across each domain will also consequently become **Imbalanced** to varying degrees, as you move and grow through the complex world that is the human experience. These imbalances will shape how you view yourself, your environment, and your own perception for what you define as safety and success. # 4. Using the Layers - Together these layers of natural strength and developed imbalance form what this project labels as our **Behavioural Codex**. This is what we will use to better understand why we are the way that we are, the career paths most aligned with us, the type of partners that would best support us, and how we can heal from imbalance while using our experiences to further support and enrich our own lives. <span class="nav-buttons">[[Preface|« Back]] [[Contents|Next »]]</span>
