π Stage 1. NIGREDO: Decomposition & Natal Matrix (N1 - N9)
Overview: The foundational core of Tetramegistus. It deconstructs the astronomical coordinates of a chosen seed context to derive the primal natal matrix. The active seed selected in this stage serves as the absolute baseline context for all calculations across modules N2 through N9.
N1: Prima Materia & Seed Core (The Baseline Engine)
- Overview: An extension of the primal gateway architecture (
prima-materia.net) operating directly within the core domain. It controls the generation, rectification, and contextual selection of all astrological charts (Seeds). - Interface & Control Matrix:
- The Title: Displays the foundational title "Prima Materia".
- Select Seed Dropdown: Dictates the global active chart context for the entire engine. Modules N2 through N9 instantly calculate their metrics based on the seed chosen here.
- Append / Edit Seed Buttons: Interactive triggers that inherit the original initialization form. The system title dynamically reverts to "Prima Materia" while maintaining core routing.
- Delete Seed Button: Executes contextual erasure based on the vessel's authentication tier.
- Genesis Extensions:
- Seed Designation: Introduces a dedicated
Target Nameinput field. - Hour of Incarnation Toggle: Implements a
Time Unknowncheckbox for unresolved incarnation hours, allowing retroactive rectification.
- Seed Designation: Introduces a dedicated
- Seed Mutability Rules:
- The Primal
[me]Seed: Designation name is absolute. Historical parameters (Date, Time, Location) are fully mutable. - Secondary Seeds: All parameters are completely mutable.
- The Primal
- Data Persistence & Chronology:
- Guest Storage: Securely cached within client-side Local Storage.
- Member Storage: Permanently anchored to the PostgreSQL database via relational indices.
- Chronological Hierarchy: Listed oldest-to-newest.
- The Great Migration: Upon registration, all locally cached guest seeds migrate to the database.
- Destruction Mechanics:
- Guest Mode: Completely purges the target object from Local Storage.
- Member Mode: Initiates a Soft Delete protocol. The relational index remains but is masked.
- Grimoire Continuity: Soft-deleted seeds archived in the Grimoire remain intact but block new additions.
N2: Principia (The Fundamental Matrix)
- Overview: The primary diagnostic interface rendering astronomical positions across multiple zodiacal frameworks.
- Lords of Time: Displays ruling Day Lord and Hour Lord. Splits dynamically for Twilight/Midnight. Reverts to
-for Time Unknown. - System Matrix: Tropical, Sidereal (Lahiri, Raman, KP, etc.), Draconic, and proprietary Ketunic.
- Hierarchy: Planets, Major Asteroids, Lilith & Nodes, Fates.
- Zodiac Mode: Renders
Information,House,Duad,Dod.,Decan,Bd.,Sabian Symbol. - Nakshatra Engine: Transforms data to Jyotish parameters (Nakshatra, Pada/Sub-lord).
- Fixed Star Conjunctions: Deep space markers with dynamic orbs and specific iconography (Royal crowns).
- Visual Dignities: Solar Proximity CSS (e.g., Combust crimson glow) and Hover Metrics for dignities.
N3: Domus (The Structural House Matrix)
- Overview: Replaces the traditional circular wheel with an infinitely expandable tabular data matrix of Cusps and Domains.
- Absolute Time Constraint: Locks N3, N4, N7, and N9 if a chart possesses a
Time Unknownattribute. - Paradigm I (Cusp Mechanics): Renders boundary lines. Hovering reveals Cusp Lords & Dignity. Features a proprietary Range Syntax (e.g.,
35 (28/7)) and a Vedic Lagna Engine extension. - Paradigm II (Domain Mechanics): Sorts entities strictly by proximity to the house cusp across Planets, Asteroids, and Hermetic pillars.
N4: Arcana (The Esoteric Point Matrix)
- Overview: Calculates abstract esoteric points: Hermetic Lots, orbital intersections, and pre-natal lunations based on Paulus/Valens algorithms and Chart Sect.
N5: Schema (The Aspect & Geometry Matrix)
- Overview: Maps angular relationships and sacred geometries. Rejects truncating reciprocal aspects to ensure absolute symmetry.
- Intersectus: Cross-System Synastry calculating geometric intersections between different zodiacal systems.
N6: Divisio (The Harmonic & Varga Matrix)
- Overview: Splits the matrix into higher-frequency resonances (Harmonics H1-H32) and Jyotish Varga divisions (D1-D60) rendering Nakshatra and Purushartha details.
N7: Hypostases (The Persona Matrix)
- Overview: Expands the "Nine Persona" method to all calculable entities using a Relativistic Transit Engine. Features a 360Β° parallel timeline matrix (Tabula Mode).
N8: Codex Tenebris (The Master Tabula)
- Overview: Flattens multi-dimensional architecture to map hundreds of esoteric points and all four zodiacal frameworks side-by-side across the absolute 360Β° of the zodiac.
N9: Chronomantia (The Timeline Engine)
- Overview: Translates spatial geometry into the dimension of time using Zodiacal Releasing, Firdaria, Profections, and Vedic Vimshottari Dasha, integrated with event-driven outer planet transit logs.
