Western Electional Phase 4 Validation — 2026-07-15

Scope

This record covers implementation-plan issues 5, 6, and 9 only:

• Dorotheus V.31 matter-significator fortification testimonies;
• Dorotheus V.6.29 supplementary inception/outcome indicators;
• Ramesey Book III, chapter II urgent-time remedy fulfillment.

It does not validate astrological efficacy, create a score, or establish a complete electional judgement.

Primary authority and source decisions

Dorotheus was checked against Carmen Astrologicum, the Umar al-Tabari translation, Benjamin Dykes translation and edition, Book V.6.21-31 (printed pp. 236-237) and V.31.1-11 (printed pp. 276-277).

V.31 names four separate conditions: under the rays, made unfortunate, not looking at the Ascendant, and in a bad place. The first, third, and fourth are computed under explicit Moira policies. “Made unfortunate” remains not_evaluable: the primary passage does not define an exclusive closed set.

V.6.22 retains the Moon-sign lord as the primary outcome indicator. V.6.29 does not authorize interchangeable outcome rulers. It adds the editorial ninth-part lord, the Lot-of-Fortune lord for inception, and the Moon's next connection for outcome. Edition note 31 identifies the ninth-parts phrase as a Persian editorial insertion and provides no division scheme, so that witness is not_evaluable. The Fortune witness reuses Moira's sect-aware Lots engine.

Ramesey was checked against Astrologia Restaurata (1654), Book III, chapter II, printed pp. 127-128. The Moon/Ascendant and fortune/Ascendant instructions are evaluated under visible whole-sign and quadrant-house policies. The planetary-hour lord is resolved. The three fortification commands remain typed indeterminate source gates because the cited passage supplies no closed fortification predicate.

Public contract

The following existing routes carry the Phase 4 witnesses:

• POST /v1/electional/western/dorotheus-rooted-context
• POST /v1/electional/western/ramesey-moon-condition

The same vessels are available from the engine module, package root, facade, and Moira methods. Dorotheus rooted context reports profile version 1.2.0; Ramesey Moon condition reports profile version 1.1.0.

Verification receipt

Runtime: project .venv, Python 3.14.3. Downloads were disabled. Strict known issue expiry was enabled; tests/KNOWN_ISSUES.yml contained no entries. The planetary kernel resolved through moira._kernel_paths to the local DE441 resource.

Commands and results:

python -m pytest tests/unit/test_western_electional.py \

The governance run deliberately excluded the local wheel-build test. No wheel was built, published, or present in the repository.

DE441 evidence

At JD 2451545.0, London, Regiomontanus houses:

• the Ramesey hour lord resolved to Mercury;
• the Moon cadence/no-Ascendant-relation clause was not_fulfilled;
• the Jupiter/Venus fortune clause was fulfilled;
• aggregate remedy fulfillment was not_fulfilled, without changing any Moon impediment state;
• the Lot of Fortune was 326.9694195743265 degrees tropical longitude, Aquarius, ruled by Saturn;
• the sign-bounded next Moon connection remained the independently checked Mars square.

These are regression and geometric-invariant evidence under the named products, not empirical validation of electional doctrine.

Remaining source gates

• Dorotheus V.31 “made unfortunate” lacks an exclusive predicate set.
• Dorotheus V.6.29's editorial ninth-part lacks a source-owned division and boundary scheme.
• Ramesey's Ascendant-cusp, Ascendant-lord, and hour-lord fortification commands lack closed predicates in pp. 127-128.

Phase 4 is complete at those source boundaries: each gap is a typed, machine-visible indeterminate witness rather than free text or hidden policy.
