The Right Angle Cross of Explanation carries the same channel as the earlier Cross of Explanation with sun and earth exchanged, Gate 23 and Gate 43, the telling exposed ahead of the insight itself. Its first article reads Gate 23 as the voice that turns a strange individual insight into shared language, and Gate 43 as the sudden inner knowing behind it. What it does not trace is where the four gates sit on the wheel itself, the Human Design mandala's division of its sixty four gates into four Quarters, and by that measure this ordering draws one gate from each of the four.
Gate 23, the personality gate here, falls in the Quarter of Civilization, purpose fulfilled through form. Gate 43, its personality partner, falls in the Quarter of Mutation, purpose fulfilled through transformation. Behind them, Gate 49 falls in the Quarter of Initiation, purpose fulfilled through mind, and Gate 4 falls in the Quarter of Duality, purpose fulfilled through bonding.
So the telling and the sealed insight beneath it the first article reads on this ordering's surface answer to the arcs of form and transformation, while the judgment of what is acceptable and the offered answer beneath them answer to the arcs of mind and bonding, the same four arcs the rest of the Explanation family draws on however its two pairs are assigned and ordered. Reversing which gate carries the Sun changes what this variant puts forward, but not which Quarters supply its four gates.
