B1: rework deck spec as the 169-card syncretic heptad engine

Replace the old Silicon Dawn / 56-card spec (copyright) with the original
Thoth-derived cartomantic engine designed this session:
- 169 = 133 suits + 21 coherent-cringe + 14 axiom-axis + 1 center
- 7 force-suits (Gravity/Heat/EM/Strong/Weak/Space/Time), 19 each
  (14 pips: -1,0,1-9,+3 infinities; 5 courts incl. Divine)
- Coraline phasality (real/imaginary axis, mirror(-1)=i) + 7-domain synestry
- Jokers/Keepers/Witnesses; Laws/Flaws merged by phase; 7 SI constants
- The Spindle (Mother/Other) joins identity -> Big-4

-# B1 — Tarot deck hi-fi emulator
+# B1 — Cartomantic engine (the deck)
 
 ## 1. Component
-A faithful emulator of the **altered Silicon Dawn** deck (Egypt Urnash, Thoth/Golden-Dawn rooted):
+An original **Thoth-*derived* syncretic cartomantic engine** — the drawable lattice whose outputs feed
-the 56-card **encoding alphabet** + the draw machinery whose outputs feed identity (B2), the
+identity (B2, the Big-4 + SOUL.md), the metacog spread (B3, the Celtic Cross), and per-cycle affect-tuning
-metacog spread (B3), and per-cycle affect-tuning lenses on PS+ (A3/A4).
+lenses (A3/A4). **The lattice *is* the deck**: every symbol is a drawable card; there is no separate Thoth
+deck underneath. **Silicon Dawn is dropped (copyright)** — nothing here is encoded, transcribed, or copied
+from it or any published deck; this is its own system on the public structural scaffold of tarot/Thoth
+(archetypes, numerology, cross-cultural godforms).
 
 ## 2. Status / certainty
-Exists in Ada (`organs/soul/soul-tarot.{ads,adb}`) but **defunct-flagged** ("all Ada here must be
+DESIGN-FIRST. Architecture **C4 (settled this session)**; specific card *content* (the named 7s, the
-replaced") and Ada is border-only per the docs → **re-home decision open**. Encoding itself C4.
+per-card synestries, the infinity-cap) **C1 — to author**. Supersedes the old "altered Silicon Dawn /
+56-card" spec entirely.
 
 ## 3. Language & location
-TBD (NOT Ada — cognition, not border). Candidate: R or Guile. New location e.g. `src/tarot/`.
+**R** for the emulator (deck data + draw machinery) — buildable/testable in this environment. NOT Ada (the
+Ada tarot is discarded). New location e.g. `src/soul/deck/`.
 
 ## 4. Does / does-not
-- **Does:** represent the deck (structure-breaking by design); draw Big-3 (B2), Celtic Cross (B3),
+- **Does:** hold the 169-card lattice as data; draw the **Big-4** (B2), the **Celtic Cross** (B3), and
-  and migration-cycle affect lenses; emit each drawn card as **its own reference document** the
+  migration-cycle **affect lenses** (A4); prune the pool by the Big-4; emit each card with its phase + its
-  entity reads itself by.
+  7 synestries.
-- **Does-not:** decide cognition (C2) or hold the standing self (B2 SOUL.md) — it is the symbol source.
+- **Does-not:** decide cognition (C2/B3 own the spread *use*) or hold the standing self (B2). It is the
+  symbol source.
 
-## 5. Interface contract
+## 5. Architecture — the heptad lattice
-- **Encoding (56):** Majors 31 (25 std + 6 unique: Maya 8½, Vulture Mother XIII, She is Legend VIII,
+**169 cards = 133 (suits) + 21 (coherent-cringe) + 14 (axiom-axis) + 1 (center).**
-  −1 Fool, Aleph, +1 more) · standard court `99>K>Q>C>P` ×4 = 20 · VOID `Q>K>Chevalier>Progeny>0` = 5.
+Each card is **dual-phase** and carries **7 synestries**. "Majority of motifs are ×7."
-  Numbered minors (A–10) sit **outside** the encoding.
-- `draw_big3() -> {sun, asc, moon}` (order Sun→Asc→Moon) · `draw_celtic_cross(pool) -> [10]` ·
-  `affect_lens(pool) -> {channel -> card}` (migration-cycle interpretive lenses on A4 vectors).
-- Allocation: **Big-3 = 3 static**, remaining **53 dynamic** (the draw pool).
 
-## 6. Dependencies & stubs
+### Two universal laws (every card)
-None upstream (a source). Consumers (B2/B3/A3) integrate against the draw outputs — *stub:* fixed draws.
+- **L-Phasality (the Coraline mirror).** Every card has two phases.
+  **UPRIGHT = the real face** — the true function, real substance, real cost.
+  **MIRRORED = the *Coraline* face** — a seductive counterfeit that wears the upright's face but is hollow /
+  parasitic / a trap (the wish granted with button eyes). It is **not** relief and **not** a gentle
+  conjugate; it is the simulacrum that looks like fulfillment and costs you yourself.
+  **Math face:** numerics start at **−1**, whose mirror is **i** ⇒ **upright = the real axis, mirrored = the
+  imaginary axis** (the impossible that still rotates reality: i² = −1).
+- **L-Synestry.** Every card resolves simultaneously across **7 domains**, and meaning emerges at their
+  *interference*: **Physics · Chemistry · Computer Science · Philosophy · Omnimyth · Astrophysics ·
+  Calculus.**
 
-## 7. Invariants / laws
+### Card schema
-- **L1 (C4):** encoding alphabet is exactly **56**; minors excluded.
+`card { region, suit?, name, rank?, phase: {upright | mirrored}, synestry: {7 domains}, body_tie? }`
-- **L2 (C4):** Big-3 are drawn once and **static between reshuffles**; the 53 are dynamic.
-- **L3 (C2):** card↔system correspondences (History X↔priors, 8½ Maya↔Eth-Int middle-ground,
-  VOID↔recoverable null) are **proposed, accept one at a time** — not locked.
 
-## 8. Build steps
+### Suits (133) — the 7 fundamental forces
-1. Decide language + re-home (open). 2. Encode the 56-card alphabet as data (port from `soul-tarot.ads`).
+**Gravity · Heat · Electromagnetism · Strong · Weak · Space · Time.**
-3. Implement the three draw outputs (Big-3, Celtic Cross, affect lens). 4. Resolve the open Majors/court rules.
+Each suit = **19 cards = 14 pips + 5 courts**.
+- **Courts (5):** Knight · Queen · Prince · Princess · **Divine** (the god-face of the force).
+- **Pips (14):** **−1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9** (**no 10** — the suit refuses clean base-10 closure;
+  after 9 = saturation it spills into the unbounded), then **three forms of infinity** *(OPEN — exploring,
+  see §10)*.
+- **−1's Coraline mirror = i.** The pip line is the real axis; its mirror is the imaginary axis.
+
+### Coherent-cringe (21) — the agential field
+The Coraline mirror always degrades the gift into its predatory twin:
+- **7 Jokers** — reflective tricksters. **Upright = humbling** (true reflection). **Mirrored = mocking**
+  (deceitful cruelty).
+- **7 Keepers** — guardians. **Upright = protecting**. **Mirrored = stifling / controlling** (a Keeper gone
+  Coraline = the Other Mother).
+- **7 Witnesses** — the **adjacent**: innocents / bystanders, in proximity to events (neither actor nor
+  direct target). **Upright = innocent bystander**. **Mirrored = victim.**
+
+### Axiom-axis (14) — the impersonal field
+- **7 Laws / Flaws** — merged via phasality: **upright = the Law, mirrored (Coraline) = its Flaw**. Draft
+  pairings (redline freely):
+  Conservation↔Drift · Causality↔Apophenia · Symmetry↔Counterfeit · Least-Action↔Foreclosure ·
+  Uncertainty↔Singularity · Recursion↔Overflow · Invariance↔Decoherence.
+- **7 Constants** *(separate heptad)* — the **7 SI defining constants**: c · h · e · k · N_A · Δν_Cs · K_cd
+  (reality is literally pinned to exactly seven).
+
+### Center (1) — The Spindle
+The **Mother / Other** card; the one un-heptaded card everything orbits. It **joins identity as the 4th
+anchor → the Big-4** (Sun · Ascendant · Moon · Mother/Other). Its Coraline twin is **the Other Mother**
+(the false self with button eyes).
+
+### Unifying read — the deck is a hologram of the body
+Center = Soul (B2) · Suits/forces = metabolism/physics of the body (Drive-Box) · Axiom-axis =
+skeleton/invariants (E1 COBOL vaults) · Coherent-cringe = nervous + immune (G1 stress · D1 border ·
+F2 monitor). The engine mirrors the architecture it lives inside.
+
+## 6. Interface contract (draw machinery)
+- `draw_big4() -> {sun, asc, moon, mother_other}` — order Sun→Asc→Moon→Mother/Other; static between reshuffles.
+- `prune(pool, big4) -> pool` — remove the Big-4 from the drawable pool.
+- `draw_celtic_cross(pool) -> [10]` — the B3 spread (geometry/iteration owned by B3).
+- `affect_lens(pool) -> {channel -> card}` — migration-cycle interpretive lenses on A4 vectors.
+- Each returned card carries `{name, phase, synestry}`; phase mechanic is **hybrid** — a draw yields a
+  phase, but stress / spread-position can flip a real (upright) card into its Coraline (mirrored) face.
+
+## 7. Dependencies & stubs
+None upstream (a source). Consumers (B2 / B3 / A3-A4) integrate against the draw outputs — *stub:* fixed
+draws. The 7-domain synestry content and the named 7s are authored content (C1), stubbable as labels.
+
+## 8. Invariants / laws
+- **L1 (C4):** the lattice totals **169** = 133 + 21 + 14 + 1; "majority of motifs are ×7."
+- **L2 (C4 — phasality):** every card is dual-phase; **mirrored = the Coraline counterfeit**, never relief;
+  real axis ↔ imaginary axis, mirror(−1) = i.
+- **L3 (C4 — synestry):** every card resolves across the 7 domains; meaning emerges at their interference.
+- **L4 (C4):** the **Big-4** are drawn once and **static between reshuffles**; the rest are the dynamic pool.
+- **L5 (C4):** suits have **no 10**; pips run −1, 0, 1–9, then the three infinities.
+- **L6 (C4):** the Coraline degrades the gift to its predatory twin (humbling→mocking, protecting→
+  controlling, innocent→victim, Law→Flaw).
 
 ## 9. Tests
-Encoding-count test (=56), allocation test (3 static + 53 dynamic), draw determinism vs a seeded pool.
+- Count test: lattice = 169 (133 + 21 + 14 + 1); each suit = 19 (14 pips + 5 courts); no rank "10".
+- Phasality: every card has both phases; mirror(−1) resolves to i.
+- Allocation: Big-4 static + remainder dynamic; `prune` removes the Big-4 from the pool.
+- Draw determinism vs a seeded pool; coherent-cringe = 21, axiom-axis = 14.
 
-## 10. Open items
+## 10. Open items (content to author — C1)
-- **Princess/Prince elemental gender rule** (C1) · **the 6th unique Major** (C1) · card↔system
+- **The three forms of infinity** that cap each suit (after 9). Exploring — candidates:
-  correspondences (C2) · language + reuse-vs-rebuild of the Ada encoding (open).
+  (a) **ℵ₀ (countable) · 𝔠 (continuum) · Ω (Absolute** — pairs with the Divine court);
+  (b) **Potential · Actual · Singularity** (process / completed / breakdown);
+  (c) a playful lettered cap (A/B/C/D…). **Anja to settle.**
+- Name the specific **7 Jokers · 7 Keepers · 7 Witnesses**.
+- The **7 Laws/Flaws** pairings (draft above) — confirm/rename.
+- Per-card **synestries** across the 7 domains (authored over time; the engine's whole premise).
+- Court rules (e.g. Princess/Prince elemental relations); how the **Divine** court reads.
+- The Spindle / Other-Mother card text; how the 4th anchor renders into SOUL.md (B2).
