Tarot Mapping
Definition
Tarot is the framework’s origin tradition — the structural inheritance from which the 78-position system descends. The 22 Major Arcana map to the 22 Archetypes; the 40 numbered Minor Arcana (2–10 + Aces, four suits) map to the 40 Bounds; the 16 Court Cards (Page/Knight/Queen/King × four suits) map to the 16 Agents.
The framework’s Verb Shift renames the Majors (Lovers→Compassion, Strength→Fortitude, etc.) but preserves the structural correspondences. Tarot is not “wrong” relative to the framework — it is the same architecture under a different naming convention. The framework derives why these positions are forced; Tarot intuited that they are.
