Seed
Definition
Seed is the Stage of opening — the pure beginning, planted possibility before any unfolding has occurred. Each manifest archetype that holds Seed-Stage is the opening move of its Practice. The four Seed archetypes are: Compassion (Emotion-Seed), Order (Mind-Seed), Wisdom (Spirit-Seed), Fortitude (Body-Seed).
Seed is a Latin-square dimension member — across the manifest 4×4 grid, Seed appears exactly once per row and once per column, dimensionally orthogonal to Practice/Activity.
Members (Seed-Stage Archetypes)
| Practice | Archetype | Position |
|---|---|---|
| Spirit | Wisdom | 2 |
| Mind | Order | 4 |
| Emotion | Compassion | 6 |
| Body | Fortitude | 8 |
