Bonifying testimony is read as support only when its contributing ingredients stay visible in the condition balance.
A body is debilitated when the score and tier show weakness or affliction from visible component testimony, not from an opaque condition label.
Maltreating testimony is preserved as pressure when visible components lower the condition balance or mark severe impairment.
Reflection describes indirect connection through a mediator where a direct connection is lacking. This slower-reflector contact pattern does not establish al-Kindi's full aversion branches; this source branch remains unverified. Those branches remain reference-only.
A target body is read as enclosed only when it is uninterrupted between its immediate classical guards and both guards reach it by co-presence or whole-sign ray, without promoting the narrower medieval besiegement rule.
Reception is exposed as one supporting component in the planetary-condition balance rather than as automatic rescue.
A body is strongly conditioned only when the composite condition tier and score are backed by visible dignity, sect, place, motion, visibility, reception, and joy ingredients.
Solar visibility problems are preserved as an impairing condition component even when other ingredients are favorable.
