Turning embodied intelligence into structured, scalable design.
Founder, Hokulehua LLC
Rayleen Egami is the founder of Hokulehua LLC and the creator of two unique frameworks that bring together how we perceive, think, and design. She focuses on turning our internal feelings and body signals — like emotions and sensations — into practical tools without needing any external sensors or gadgets.
Her two main frameworks, Compass Mapping and AI-X, are built on strong ethical values and inspired by traditional ecological knowledge, especially the deep connection to place and relationships found in Indigenous Pacific cultures. Rather than treating intelligence as something separate or extractable, these systems honor the subtle, interconnected ways we experience the world through our bodies and minds.
This approach goes beyond typical AI or emotion-recognition tools. It’s about creating respectful, privacy-first systems that value honesty and integrity — for both people and machines. Rayleen designs from the ground up, not by following usual templates, and her work is already gaining interest for changing how we understand context, feedback, and awareness.
Compass CORE Mapping is a cognitive-somatic interface that converts internal signals into structured directional feedback. It recognizes the human body as a data-generating system — no external sensors required.
Goal:
To empower individuals to define what emotions mean to them based on their own lived experiences, rather than standardized societal labels. This personalized approach promotes emotional literacy, self-understanding, and opens pathways toward healing.
The Adaptive Care & Contextual Intelligence Framework helps institutions make decisions rooted in nuanced, real-world understanding. It blends real-time signals with cultural values, historical patterns, and biological relevance to guide ethical, adaptive prioritization.
Goal:
To create a tool that goes beyond demographics and socio-economic or health data, integrating historical and cultural contexts that truly matter. This helps organizations make ethical, adaptive, and culturally-aware decisions that respect the complex realities of the communities they serve.
Currently in development with early prototype tools and pilot partnerships.
These reflections were written informally — but they capture the early pulse of Compass Mapping and the larger vision:
These essays explore how emotional states shape — or distort — pattern expression in both humans and machine logic. They aren’t formal papers. They’re signal flares.
