Source notes
- A visibility doctrine describing planetary states around solar proximity, appearance, disappearance, and morning or evening orientation.
- It can be shown alongside planetary condition, but should not be used as a complete observational model.
- Phasis describes how a planet's visibility and solar relationship are categorized around appearances, disappearances, and orientation to the Sun.
- Phasis relates to planetary condition, solar combustion and related solar proximity states, and event-observation pages.
- The current public explanation remains state-based and conservative.
- The current public page is descriptive and does not claim to calculate actual observational visibility under local atmospheric conditions.
- The local notes connect phasis to traditional visibility language and modern traditional explanation, with Abu Ma'shar material supporting specific synodic bands for superior planets.
- The page does not publish atmospheric heliacal visibility, local horizon conditions, or a complete observational astronomy model.
- The page keeps event-search and state-description language distinct.
- The phasis family can describe broad solar condition bands, first and last visibility events, and morning or evening phase language.
- The seed page names this range without promoting gated observational claims into public copy.
- This page intentionally uses descriptive public explanation and avoids private event-search or source-extraction details.
- This page supports a public description of the current descriptive phasis state layer built from solar proximity and orientation.
