Intent
Definition
Intent is the Activity of directional pointing — consciousness aimed toward a specific outcome, the directing of energy. Intent maps to the Tarot suit Wands (Fire) and operates across four manifest archetypes: Order (Mind/Intent), Drive (Emotion/Intent), Sacrifice (Body/Intent), Inspiration (Spirit/Intent).
The Activity verb is “Point” — Intent points the way; it does not fill, hold, or shape (those are Resonance, Structure, Cognition).
