convergence cos

93 traditional D0–D2 systems converge at cosine 0.515–0.523 across 500 charts (511 comparable pairs), engine hypotheses excluded. Engine 2.7.0. Verified 2026-09-08.

The pipeline

A birth date, time, and place go in. Planetary positions are computed from the NASA JPL DE440 ephemeris — the same data planetariums and spacecraft navigation use. From those positions the engine derives a 224-key master profile across 169 traditions: Western and Vedic astrology, BaZi, Human Design, Gene Keys, the classical humors, polyvagal mapping, ceremonial correspondences, numerology, and more. Each system is a module with a registered primary source. The profile is pre-interpretive — it is the raw material a practitioner reads, not a reading.

Source-cited, or not stated

The engine makes 183 discrete interpretive claims. 113 of them are warranted: backed by a citation to a primary text we physically hold — Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos for Western dignities, Parashara for Vedic yogas, Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy for ceremonial correspondences, and so on. The remaining 70 are marked unwarranted and shown as such. We do not paraphrase a tradition we cannot cite, and we do not present an engine hypothesis as doctrine.

Independence has two axes — we never collapse them

When several traditions agree about a chart, the obvious move is to call that "high confidence" and print one number. That number would be wrong, because two different kinds of independence are in play and they measure different things.

Two axes of independence

We never collapse corroboration to one number. Measurement independence asks how many distinct observables agree; transmission independence asks how many uninfluenced lineages arrived there. Ten systems reading one ecliptic longitude are one measurement, not ten — and we render both axes.

We carry both as a pair and render both. A differing cultural-origin label is not proof of non-contact — Hellenistic and Vedic astrology had documented transmission — so non-contact is an asserted, sourced relation, never inferred from two labels differing. Default: contact unknown → not independent.

The convergence claim, and how it was narrowed

93 traditional D0–D2 systems converge at cosine 0.515–0.523 across 500 charts (511 comparable pairs), engine hypotheses excluded. An earlier, broader version of this figure included engine-internal hypotheses among the "converging" systems. A provenance audit removed them. The published claim is now the conservative one — 93 traditional D0–D2 systems, cosine 0.515–0.523 — and the correction is on the record rather than quietly overwritten.
