Classify the completed graph
Type is calculated after channels and centers, not from isolated gates. A defined Sacral places a graph in the Generator family. With a motor connected to the Throat through the completed-channel network, it is a Manifesting Generator; without that connection, Generator. A non-Sacral graph with that path is Manifestor. One with some definition but no such path is Projector. No defined centers yields Reflector.

Word origin · etymology
Ordinary classification term in a modern system.
Type derives from Greek typos, an impression or model. Here it names a class within Human Design's own classification.
How we know · epistemology
Rule-based typology
Type follows the school's hierarchy of Sacral definition and motor-to-Throat connections. Correct classification verifies those graph rules; it does not establish that the resulting behavioral description reliably distinguishes people outside the model.
