Source texts
A source text is a book, translation, article, or public-domain work that gives historical or technical context for an astrological claim.
Methodologies
Public source methodologies
Each reference page keeps the source record separate from chart calculation and public interpretation so readers can inspect what kind of support is present.
Citation locations
A citation location is the page, chapter, section, table, or similar pointer that lets a reader check where a claim is grounded.
Paraphrases
Astrotechne usually presents source material in reviewed paraphrase so the public page explains the idea without reproducing long passages.
Doctrine and rule records
A doctrine or rule record connects an astrological condition to its source context, calculation context, and public wording.
Provenance
Provenance records show which source, citation location, object, doctrine, or astrologer page is carrying the reference context.
Reviewed publication boundary
Only reviewed public wording is published. Draft notes, private research files, and copyrighted source extracts stay outside indexed reference pages.
What this means on a page
The four reference templates each carry a single, distinct responsibility, and the cross-links between them are how the source methodologies are actually traversable.
A source page
Identifies the text — author, year, edition, ISBN, publisher — and lists the citation locations Astrotechne is referring to. It does not interpret; it makes the source findable and checkable.
A doctrine page
Explains how a body of source material is being used to support a technique or rule family, with each rule traced back to its source-text citation.
An object page
Collects the source-backed interpretive notes for a planet, point, asteroid, or fixed star, keeping reviewed citations separate from generic descriptions.
An astrologer page
Anchors the records cited to a tradition or named author so the source line is attributable, not anonymous.
