Papahulilani: Is the space from above the head to where the stars sit. It is inclusive of the sun, moon, stars, planets, winds, clouds, and the measurement of the vertical and horizontal spaces of the atmosphere.
Papahulihonua: Is inclusive of the earth and ocean. It is the ongoing study of the natural earth and ocean and its development, transformation, and evolution by natural causes.
Papahanaumoku:
Papahānaumoku moves from the embryonic state of all life forces to death. It is the birthing cycle of all flora and fauna, inclusive of man. It is the process of investigating, questioning, analyzing, and reflecting upon all things that give birth, regenerate and procreate.
