Zachary Taylor's Human Design: An Unverified Time With Real Margin
Zachary Taylor's recorded time carries no known source, and it still sits nearly four hours clear of the nearest real boundary in the day.
A note on the form of this chart. This birth is from 1784, 3 years after the 1781 mutation, so it falls on the nine-centered side of it. It sits close enough to the changeover that this series flags it anyway: the Plutonic Interregnum is described as a transition rather than a switch thrown in a single year. Why there are no pre-1781 bodygraphs explains the reasoning, and works through a thought experiment about the earlier form.
Zachary Taylor’s data reads like Monroe’s, a precise-looking time with no traceable source, but lands in a very different part of the day.

His 1784 birth predates Maia Mechanics’ own 1800 floor, the seventh chart in this series affected by that limit.
What the in-house engine shows
I ran the full twenty-four hours of November 24, 1784, at one-minute resolution. At the listed 10:57 AM:
- Type: Manifesting Generator
- Authority: Solar Plexus, Emotional
- Definition: Single Definition
- Profile: 4/6
- Incarnation Cross gates: 34 and 20 personality, 59 and 55 design

Zachary Taylor’s natal bodygraph, 4/6 Emotional Manifesting Generator: Design and Personality, activated at birth. Drawn on this site’s own engine, not exported from Maia Mechanics, whose chart entry stops at 1800.
Two boundaries sit in the early morning, at 4:13 AM and 7:10 AM, both Profile changes. The listed 10:57 AM clears the later one by nearly four hours, comfortably inside the surviving 4/6 window. Type, Authority, and Definition hold across the entire day regardless. An unsourced time isn’t the same thing as a fragile one, and this chart is the clearer illustration of that in this batch: no traceable origin, and still nowhere near an edge.

Chart computed against the in-house engine (src/lib/hd/chart.js, src/lib/hd/timezone.js) at one-minute resolution across all twenty-four hours of November 24, 1784, Barboursville, Virginia. No cross-check against Maia Mechanics, Human Design Professional Software licensed from Jovian Archive, was possible; its chart-entry form is limited to dates between 1800 and 2100. Astro-Databank record: astro.com/astro-databank/Taylor,_Zachary, Rodden rating C. This is a chart and a data-quality case, with no partisan framing or commentary on any administration intended or offered.
