Traceable foundations
How is a grounded reading made?
01
Resolve the time
The original calendar, local clock and IANA zone are preserved. This version calculates from the entered local civil clock and never invents unknown values.
02
Deterministic calculation
A fixed engine computes pillars and solar terms; interpretation does not invent them.
03
Separate facts and interpretation
Each chapter retains its basis and limits. Unsupported strength and favourable-element judgements are not supplied.
04
Keep time layers distinct
Natal, cycle year range and annual layers remain separate. Phase planning is not monthly fortune.
05
Preserve the reading snapshot
Changing details never overwrites an earlier report. Complete delivery uses one credit; rereading is free.
