Orí inú

Inner head — intuition and personal destiny

Orí inú is the inner head: the intimate spiritual principle through which a person receives counsel, intuition, and a destiny that must be lived well. It is placed at the crown/head interior to make Orí's primacy visible; the source traditions support the head association but not this exact normalised x/y coordinate, so the uncertainty radius records the projection.
