The Channel of Wavelength (16-48)

What it means

The Channel of the Wavelength links the Spleen's depth with the Throat's skill and enthusiasm. It is the channel of mastery through repetition: a talent that becomes extraordinary with practice.

The depth wants to be perfect before it shows itself, and the enthusiasm wants to show off now. The talent is in the long practice in between.
