In 1994, Ra Uru Hu published a collection of graphics and keynotes he called “Rave Anatomy: Mapping the Mechanics of the Maia”. In 2007, he updated the graphics and recorded 11 lectures. These lectures provide a deep exploration of the BodyGraph’s infrastructure: Gates, Channels, Streams and Circuitry, investigating surface mechanics against the backdrop of their underlying architecture. 

In Lesson 6 of Rave Anatomy 1, Ra discusses the importance of Gate 3, for without it there is no change or mutation in life. The format energy at the source of the mutative process, Gate 3 organizes the abundance of data input and controls the movement of the genetic information throughout the BodyGraph. Through the Lines and Roles of Gate 3 we can find the thematic continuity as it operates through other Lines in our BodyGraph. Ra also explores the power of mutation and its role in leading us into the future.
