Western Systems Audit

Point-in-time audit (2026-06), corrected 2026-07-25. This document is the broad Western audit record for that period. Current code, standards, facade exports, and REST route registration govern present capability claims. In particular, the Valens distributions/transmissions interpretive layer is now a closed exclusion; historical statements below that call it P1–P12 complete or REST/dignity-ready are superseded. Decennials is admitted only through L2; both named deep-subdivision candidates fail closed. The Hermetic decan catalog is also research-only and absent from public and registered REST surfaces. These are not current Hellenistic gaps or release backlog.

House-system correction (2026-09-28). The polar-house narrative later in this point-in-time audit predates the integrated high-latitude work. Current runtime truth has _POLAR_SYSTEMS == {'K'}; Campanus, Regiomontanus, and Topocentric join Placidus and Alcabitius in owning integrated high-latitude geometry. Use HOUSES_BACKEND_STANDARD.md, not the historical work log below, for current policy.

Current prioritization: Use the cross-tradition Astrology Coverage Frontier Gap Audit (2026-08) for gap selection. It preserves its original c868fd0 baseline and is amended through Track A admission commit 7090255e2d6cc41f7b4df15417512412f0ad5366 and the Track B Horary/Mundane admission commit containing this notice. Retain this document as the detailed Western point-in-time record; its Horary/Mundane gap claims are historical.

Document: wiki/07_audit/WESTERN_SYSTEMS_AUDIT.md (canonical broad Western audit) Created: 2026-06 (initial draft) Last updated: 2026-07-25 (Phase-1 Decennials and Hermetic-decan containment correction) Focus: Broad Western tradition (Hellenistic/Greek + Medieval/Arabic + Renaissance + Modern Western including psychological, Uranian/Hamburg, Cosmobiology, etc.), as explicitly scoped. Separate from Vedic/Jyotish (tabled in prior work; see TIER2_VEDIC_WORK_TRACKER.md). Purpose: Complete, truthful audit of all Western systems present in the Moira codebase. Reports current status, constitutional maturity, implementation reality vs. documentation, gaps (Type A = missing core feature; Type B = depth/interpretation/exposure gaps), and scores. “Truthfully” means distinguishing “math exists in Python” from “full constitutional phase, facade/REST exposure, tests, docs, and usable interpretation layer.”

Methodology & Sources (truthful basis):


Executive Summary

Moira has exceptionally strong Western coverage in core natal construction (houses, aspects, dignities, lots) and predictive machinery (progressions, primary directions with many methods, transits, timelords). Whole-sign aspects, aspect direction/overcoming, planetary joys, besiegement, oriental/occidental condition, and halb are implemented. The separate Valens distributions/delineations layer is a closed exclusion and is not an incomplete Hellenistic engine component.

Truthful caveats (as of this audit):

High-Level Domain Scores (Western-focused, truthful composite)

Domain Approx. Score Key Strengths Major Truthful Gaps / Notes Priority
Natal Chart Construction & Frames (Houses, Angles, etc.) 95% 17+ systems (Whole Sign, Placidus variants, Huber, Galactic, Gauquelin, Solar Sign, etc.); derived houses; polar fallbacks; strong standard (Phase 11) Minor: some exotic polar/hybrid edge cases; full sovereign remediation roadmap exists but not 100% complete Low
Aspects, Midpoints, Antiscia, Patterns 95% Full Ptolemaic + minor + declination + whole-sign domain; midpoints, antiscia, patterns (Grand Trine etc.); overcoming (katarchein) + sinister/dexter in aspects.py Depth: minor interpretive pattern overlays remaining Low
Dignities, Strength, Rulership & Condition 88% Essential (domicile+), accidental (hayz, halb, joy, oriental, besieged, solar, receptions); triplicity/bounds/face as first-class; many standards Type B: full Medieval/Arabic compound rulership or psychological dignity models limited; some bounds tables strong (Egyptian) but cross-doctrine depth varies Med
Lots, Parts & Special Points 90% ~hundreds of lots with sect reversal; nine_parts; Uranian points via dedicated support Depth: full interpretive “meaning” layers for obscure lots thinner than core Fortune/Spirit Low
Natal Interpretation Aids 75% Chart shape, harmonics, some intensity (Huber age points) Psychological/ modern Western (e.g. full chart pattern psychology, midpoint trees as primary) partial Med
Predictive — Time Lord Systems 82% Profections, Firdaria (incl. Bonatti), Zodiacal Releasing (multi-lot), and the complete admitted Decennials L1/L2 contract; Hyleg etc. Closed Hellenistic exclusions are not scored as missing; broader Medieval/Arabic time-lord families remain a separate Western breadth question High
Predictive — Transits, Progressions, Directions, Returns 93% Extensive progressions (40+ techniques); primary directions (many methods: Ptolemy, Placidus, Morinus, Regiomontanus, Topocentric, etc. with fixed stars, antiscia, converse, targets); rich transits (aspect, equatorial, house ingresses, converse); returns (solar etc.) Type B: full facade exposure for all PD methods/variants may be partial vs. wiki depth; some return flavors (e.g. varshaphal) more Vedic-flavored Low-Med
Relational & Synastry 85% Core synastry (aspects, houses, midpoints, composites, Davison with MC correction); progressed synastry Major gaps: transits to composite/Davison, cross-chart patterns High
Spatial & Locational (ACG, Local Space, etc.) 83% Basic ACG (MC/IC/ASC/DSC lines), zenith/nadir sub-planetary points, parans, local space, geodetic; relocated charts Extended bodies/fixed stars for broader ACG coverage; full 3D/spatial interpretation; richer map/render exposure for spatial products High
Special Western & Esoteric 80% Fixed stars (large catalog, parans, heliacal, Behenian/Royal); Uranian/Hamburg (9 bodies + mechanics); eclipses (canon + search + hits); visibility (heliacal, continuous windows partial); midpoints/harmonics as Western tools; planetary hours, etc. Depth: full modern psychological or Cosmobiology interpretive layers limited; continuous visibility windows (vs. discrete events) partial; some Uranian-specific techniques (e.g. full sensitive points trees) may be thinner Med

Overall Western Score (rough composite): ~85-88% (strong core, improving on recent Hellenistic closures, depth/exposure gaps in relational/spatial/special and some predictive sub-systems).

Top Truthful Gaps (prioritized, broad Western scope):

  1. Relational depth (composite transits) - High user/website impact.
  2. Spatial/ACG extensions (extended-body/fixed-star coverage, richer map/render exposure).
  3. Full exposure/interpretation for deep primary directions variants.
  4. Broader Medieval/Arabic + Renaissance time-lord or compound systems beyond core timelords.
  5. Modern Western psychological/ Uranian advanced interpretive layers.
  6. No Hellenistic engine backlog is created by the closed Valens distribution, Decennial L3/L4, or Hermetic product exclusions; they do not qualify the completed non-interpretive Hellenistic chart profile.

1. Structure of This Audit (DRAFT - Feedback Requested)

Proposed structure (for your feedback before full population):

Refined Structure (incorporating latest feedback: “we need this deeply charted, what has been fully implemenbted versus incomplete, perhaps a graph that shows this, something like a mermaid diagram”; plus prior refinements)

Table of Contents (added per refinement example)

Deep Charting Format (per “deeply charted, fully implemented versus incomplete”) used in every category:

Mermaid diagram section: Will include a status overview (e.g. flowchart or mindmap showing categories with color/status nodes for full/partial/gap; Mermaid supported in GitHub etc.).

Key refinements applied this iteration:

Next: This incorporates your latest note. If good, confirm “populate full content now” (I will do detailed reads for truthful status across all, write the sections, sync after edits). Or describe any last tweak.

Detailed Audits by Category (Full Even Treatment - Deep “Fully vs Incomplete” Charting)

Deep Charting Rule (applied truthfully): For each, list Fully Implemented (with evidence: code paths, phase from standard, facade presence, tests) vs Incomplete/Gaps (specific reasons: “no X in facade.py”, “Type B: calc present but no end-user interpretation or server route”, “tests weak on edges”, “docs aspirational vs code”). Scores composite (constitutional 40% + exposure 30% + depth/tests/docs 30%). References included.

1. Natal Chart Construction & Frames

Houses work log (this session, per user “i want to work on houses first” + “what house systems have we forgotten??”):

Zariel code cleanliness + source-first audit (direct response to user query this session: “is our Zariel house sytem with any swiss code smells? dod we imnplement it from source first??”):

Fully Implemented (deep charting):

Present policy for latitude-sensitive houses (code-verified at runtime, per user query “no i misread your edits. so wghat is the present policy, in the code base, for latitude sensitive houses”):

Remaining work to finish the Placidus (per explicit user protocol: “pure spherical-trig event functions for DSA/dDSA, geometry as primary object, solving as thin consumer, integrated branch doctrine without repair-shaped defaults”; and roadmap Phase E end-state: “event geometry stated explicitly; root-solving retained only as execution method; no repair-shaped latitude corrections; branch and singularity doctrine explicit at the object level”):

Clarification on polar_capable=True for Placidus (response to query: “how can placidius be marked as polar=true when there is not always a true solution??”): The flag polar_capable (HouseSystemClassification.polar_capable, houses.py:413) is a static, code-derived property of the declared system method, not a per-chart guarantee of existence of a figure.

In short: polar_capable=True for the system after finishing means “Placidus now carries its own complete polar story inside its geometry and branch rules.” It does not mean “every chart at 80°N will have 12 valid Placidus cusps.” The search status tells the truth about any given chart.

(The spherical-trig event + thin-solver + pure identities layer is complete. The remaining is the latitude/branch integration + removal of repair-shaped handling so that Placidus at high latitude is doctrine-shaped rather than corrected by external policy guard + fallback.)

Integration + de-repair completed (this session, per “okay, finish the integration + de-repair work required for placidius to be done”):

Placidus is now finished per the protocol. Koch and the other guarded systems remain for future Phase E work if desired.

Per-system experimental modules (this turn, per user “is there a way that we can write seperate ‘experimental’ modules for each of the polar sensitive house systems??”):

Start of real logic for Koch (per “start filling real logic into Koch”):

All under Urania, pre-edit ritual, minimal touch, spherical/vector geometry (the plane normal is the governing object), no repair in the experimental path.

Incomplete / Gaps (truthful deep charting):

Score: 96% (Zariel, Equal MC, and now source-owned Pullen SD/SR are live; remaining absences are niche variants and sovereignty-depth edge work rather than major Western coverage gaps) Priority: Low.

Refs: wiki/02_standards/HOUSES_BACKEND_STANDARD.md (now factually 22 in code), moira/constants.py (22 codes + names incl ZARIEL, EQUAL_MC, PULLEN_SD, PULLEN_SR), moira/houses.py (full _CLASSIFICATIONS, _KNOWN_SYSTEMS, calculate_houses + _pullen_sd + _pullen_sr + sinusoidal helpers), wiki/01_doctrines/houses/pullen_sinusoidal_admission_doctrine.md, wiki/01_doctrines/houses/pullen_sinusoidal_runtime_design_note.md, tests/unit/test_pullen_houses.py, huber.py, galactic_houses.py, gauquelin.py, geodetic.py, local_space.py, HOUSES_SOVEREIGNTY_REMEDIATION_ROADMAP.md.

Mermaid update note: The visual summary text above still contains older houses wording in places; any next visual pass should reflect current truth: 22 core systems are live, Zariel / Equal MC / Pullen SD / Pullen SR are admitted, and Horizon/Azimuthal already covers the due-East horizontal doctrine.

This starts the “in order” deep audit of the audit doc’s first category. All 22 current core systems are present and mature; the remaining “forgotten” items are niche variants listed above.

(Next in order would be Aspects or Dignities — let me know.)
