Topocentric Primary Directions Truth Card

Historical Name

  • Topocentric
  • often tied to the Polich-Page / Marr family of topocentric primary directions

Mathematical Basis

  • under-the-pole primary-direction family
  • distinct pole law:
    • tan(pole) = (MD / SA) * tan(geographic_latitude)
  • then uses the same under-the-pole OA/OD difference structure:
    • compute the significator pole
    • compute ascensional difference under that pole
    • derive OA/OD and measure the directional arc on the equator

Interpretive Meaning

  • perfection through a topocentric significator-pole doctrine
  • historically important in modern rectification and predictive practice

Current Moira Admission

  • admitted as a narrow explicit branch
  • runtime-selectable on:
    • in_mundo
    • in_zodiaco
  • active relation policy on the plain positional branches:
    • conjunction
    • opposition
  • active relation policy on explicit zodiacal aspect-point branches:
    • conjunction
    • opposition
    • zodiacal_aspect
  • currently admitted on the existing target family:
    • planets
    • nodes
    • angles
    • house cusps
    • explicit zodiacal aspect-points

Boundary

  • this is not yet the whole topocentric predictive family
  • broader topocentric service-layer usage, additional key regimes, and wider target doctrine remain separate work

Epistemic Status

  • verified narrow admission
