CORE DEFINITION

Located at the center of the Laniakea Supercluster, this gravitational anomaly pulls millions of galaxies, including the Milky Way, toward it at an astonishing speed. As a scaffold, it serves as a metaphor for a grand vision. In personal or organizational development, there exists a vast, perhaps invisible, gravitational center (mission/vision) that transcends specific KPIs and subconsciously unifies the direction of all small actions.
