Interpretive rules
Rules appear here when they cite this source text.
Benefic condition support
Bonifying testimony is surfaced as support only when its contributing ingredients stay visible in the condition balance.
Debilitated composite planetary condition
A body is debilitated when the score and tier show weakness or affliction from visible component testimony, not from an opaque condition label.
Malefic condition pressure
Maltreating testimony is preserved as pressure when visible components lower the condition balance or mark severe impairment.
Medieval reflection of light
A slower reflector receives one departing light and one applying light, preserving al-Kindi's distinct reflection language.
Planetary enclosure
A target body between two guards is surfaced as enclosed when both guards reach it by co-presence or whole-sign ray, without promoting the narrower medieval besiegement rule.
Reception support in planetary condition
Reception is exposed as one supporting component in the planetary-condition balance rather than as automatic rescue.
Strong composite planetary condition
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.
Visibility impediment in planetary condition
Solar visibility problems are preserved as an impairing condition component even when other ingredients are favorable.
