About
The concept of Ikigai (生き甲斐) originates from Okinawa, Japan, combining iki (life) and gai (value or worth). In Western interpretation, it is the convergence of four fundamental sets: what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for.
Finding this intersection is not merely about career satisfaction; it is about holistic balance. A life with Passion and Profession but no Mission may feel useless. A life with Mission and Vocation but no Wealth is not sustainable. This tool uses a semantic tagging engine to analyze your inputs across these four dimensions, identifying your dominant archetypes (Creative, Analytical, Social, Kinetic) and generating a unified Purpose Statement.
Formulas
The Ikigai state is defined set-theoretically as the quadruple intersection of four distinct domains. Let U be the universe of human activities.
Partial intersections yield incomplete states:
Passion = L ∩ S | Risk: Uselessness
Profession = S ∩ P | Risk: Boredom
