Conceptual Designer of the Nagamine-Style Maya Logic System (MLS)

1. Design Philosophy: The Genesis of MLS
The Need to Decouple from Fortune-Telling
As a long-time systems engineer, I prioritized reproducibility and logical integrity. I observed that many calendar commentators, while claiming their work was “academic,” often defaulted to deterministic fortune-telling, judgment of good/bad luck, and emotional assessments of compatibility. This lack of ethical and logical rigor seemed inconsistent with the profound wisdom inherent in ancient systems.
I realized that the true application of ancient knowledge must be analogous to Mindfulness. Just as Mindfulness detached practices like meditation and Zen from spiritual or religious dogma, MLS must completely decouple itself from the language of fate and fortune. By excluding value judgments, we can utilize the neutral wisdom of the ancient calendars for their original purpose: self-understanding and action optimization.
The Pursuit of Universal Logic
The development of MLS began as a technical challenge: systemizing Eastern philosophy. The pivotal moment came when I researched the etymological interpretation of the Chinese Zodiac (Eto) found in early Showa-era academic papers.
I learned that the Zodiac cycle represented the natural principle of rise and fall (栄枯盛衰), which fundamentally describes the cycles of all phenomena, including business. Further study revealed that the Five Elements (五行) were not merely systems of divination, but philosophical concepts based on the interpretation of natural principles. This confirmed that the ancient wisdom was not “fortune-telling,” but a universal philosophy based on natural cycles.
Encountering the 260-Day Cycle
The 60-year and 60-day cycles of the Chinese Zodiac did not align with the action planning cycles I needed. This led me to the 260-day Maya cycle. After resolving the complexities and confusion between Ancient Maya and Dreamspell interpretations, I focused solely on the Ancient Maya structure, systematizing it with the logical rigor honed through my engineering background.
2. Interpretation of Birth Data and Multifaceted Nature
Ancient Wisdom as a Filter and Framework
MLS rejects the deterministic view that birth data determines everything. The NAWALs and numbers derived from one’s birth date represent only one facet of a human being’s complexity.
Ancient wisdom serves as a “Filter” and a “Framework,” not a definitive conclusion.
- Redefining Qualities: For instance, the absence of a specific leadership quality in a NAWAL does not mean one cannot lead. MLS accurately analyzes the inherent disposition to derive the optimal form of leadership unique to that individual.
- Integrating Perspectives: The logic evolved from simple notions of “good/bad” to incorporating both positive and negative perspectives. This critical realization allowed MLS to function as a neutral and comprehensive logic, free from subjective value judgments.
3. Career Background and Ethical Commitment
As a systems developer, I have focused my career on building robust, consistent, and reproducible systems. I have applied this same rigorous, data-driven approach to the analysis of universal calendars.
- Role: Conceptual Designer / System Developer
- Expertise: System Architecture, Logic Design, Eastern Philosophy Systems, Maya Calendrical Structures, Behavioral Logic.
My commitment is to the ethical application of this framework. MLS delegates the “final choice and responsibility” to the user, providing the objective logic needed for proactive, self-directed behavioral transformation.
