Keter — crown of intention

Silent will before utterance

Keter is used here for the unspoken orientation of prayer before words and gestures are formed. The crown coordinate is an Adam Kadmon-inspired attention anchor chosen for the interface; the source corpus does not establish a measurable crown organ for kavvanah.
