Source basis

A timing family centered on planetary return moments, with the reviewed doctrine row emphasizing the solar revolution as an annual year-chart.

Generic return search, solar revolution doctrine, annual subdivisions, lord-of-orb testimony, and non-solar revolutions are related but not interchangeable.

More specific judgement should cite dedicated return-lord, annual-division, or lane-specific rows.

Returns identify moments when a moving body comes back to a natal position; revolutions interpret selected returns as charts for a period.

Solar revolutions are closely tied to annual profections, because both may participate in annual Lord of the Year workflows.

The local Persian and medieval witnesses preserve revolutions as a structured annual doctrine, not merely a date-search operation.

The public row does not generalize those solar-revolution rules to lunar, planetary, nodal, or apogee returns unless a lane-specific source row supports that step.

The public row does not publish a settled hierarchy for all non-solar return families or a complete return-lord delineation system.

The reviewed public row is strongest for the annual solar revolution and keeps non-solar return families explicitly narrower.

The row distinguishes a calculated return event from the interpretive doctrine attached to an annual revolution chart.

The row keeps each lane visible so clients do not infer a full year-chart interpretation from every return hit.

The solar revolution lane starts from the solar return moment, then uses annual context such as the sign of the year, Lord of the Year, and comparison between natal and revolution charts.

This row deliberately uses source-key locators and avoids internal route, test, or extraction details.

This seed supports page copy for solar return as an annual revolution signal and for the difference between return search and revolution doctrine.
