The attribution of a trump to each of the twenty-two paths — the line that appears in every letter panel in this app, marked ⚠ overlay. It comes from Lévi (1855), was reshuffled by the Golden Dawn (which moved Aleph, Tzaddi and the Emperor/Star pair around for reasons of its own, and Crowley moved them again), and reached the general public through Waite's 1909 deck.

It assumes Kircher's wiring and cannot be laid on any other. That is the quiet tell: an overlay that only fits one of the two charts is an overlay built for that chart, not a discovery about the letters. Switch this app to the house wiring and the tarot correspondences stop lining up — which is the most honest demonstration of their provenance the app can offer.

Tehiru is a walk-in model of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and its kindred ways — built to be explored, not read. This page is a still frame of one node; the app is where it moves.
