Sections and fields¶

Section → field → type → value¶

The layers¶

1. Section¶

A section structures the interface. Examples are sleep, work, mental and reflection. It determines:

where a field is displayed,
the order in the check-in,
optional weekday filters,
assignment to a Life Wheel axis.

Default Life Wheel assignment¶

Section	Default axis
`reflection`	State
`sleep`	Sleep
`social`	Connection
`work`	Work
`sport`	Movement
`mental`	Regulation
`nutrition`	Nutrition
`evening`	Recovery
`spaa`	Recovery
`morning`	no axis

The assignment is edited in the group manager. A group may deliberately be assigned to no axis.

2. Field definition¶

A field describes the meaning of a raw value.

{
  "id": "stress",
  "section": "reflection",
  "type": "scale",
  "min": 0,
  "max": 10,
  "goal": "low",
  "stats": true
}

Important properties:

Property	Meaning
`id`	physical ID of this field version
`logicalId`	shared identity across versions
`section`	section in the interface
`type`	input and conversion logic
`min`, `max`, `step`	numeric range
`goal`	`high`, `low`, `target` or `neutral`
`targetMin`, `targetMax`	favorable target range
`stats`	may the field be analyzed?
`active`	currently visible?

3. Field types¶

Type	Stored value	Example	Analytics
`boolean`	`yes`, `no` or missing	Brushed teeth	status quality
`status`	`yes`, `partial`, `no`, `na` or missing	To-dos prepared	graded quality
`scale`	number	Stress 0–10	normalization by goal direction
`duration`	number plus unit	Meditation in minutes	value + saturating evidence
`number`	number	Recovery contacts	aggregation by configuration
`choice`	option value	Work location	Explorer/breakdown, not automatically Life Wheel
`text`	text	Reflection note	normally no numeric analysis

4. Value and goal direction¶

The same number can mean different things depending on goal direction:

high is favorable: mood, energy, sleep quality,
low is favorable: stress, procrastination, urge intensity,
target range is favorable: sleep duration, amount of food,
neutral: observe only; no automatic rating in the Life Wheel.

5. Weight¶

There are currently no freely configurable field weights. The Life Wheel engine uses:

fixed evidence values per field type,
special curves for duration and dynamic events,
saturating combination of several signals from one day.

The current assignment is section → Life Wheel axis, not field → several axes. This is intentionally documented as a present system boundary.
