Integration is not a fourth circuit family, although it is often presented under its own heading. The official material names three circuit groups and places the Integration channels inside the Individual group, alongside the Knowing and Centering circuits. What makes Integration distinctive is that it is not really a circuit at all. It is a relationship between four gates, 10, 20, 34 and 57, held by four centres (G, Throat, Sacral and Spleen), which can link into six channels.

Provenance: researched and cross-checked 22 August 2026 against Jovian Archive and humdes.com Sources: https://jovianarchive.com/pages/human-design-dictionary; https://jovianarchive.com/pages/what-is-circuitry-in-human-design; https://www.humdes.com/en/kb/circuitry/ Noted at time of writing: Two points where sources are not identical. First, Jovian Archive's circuitry page names four channels as "the Integration Channel" (10-20, 20-34, 10-57, 34-57) while its dictionary describes four gates with the only multi-gate definition potential, which mechanically yields six channels; other material states plainly that the four gates create six possible channels. The entry says four gates and six possible channels, which is the mechanically correct reading, but if the library elsewhere quotes a figure of four channels, the two should be reconciled deliberately rather than left to differ. Second, Ra-attributed teaching material states that the Integration channels "do not belong to any circuits", which reads as a stronger separation than Jovian Archive's own placement of them inside the Individual group. The entry reports both positions rather than choosing between them. Not yet reviewed by a certified practitioner.
