Outer Horizon
Definition
Outer Horizon is the polarity-anchor for outer bound members of every bound pair. The Outer member (higher number, 6–10) faces outward — toward the harvest/output of the bound’s process. Outer Horizon names the side of the pair that gives back, that expresses, that completes the bound’s arc into the world.
For example: Allure (7 of Cups) is the Outer Horizon side of the Compassion bound pair; Reverie (4 of Cups) is the Inner Horizon side. Allure is the outward-choosing heart; Reverie is the inward-looking heart.
Why It’s Load-Bearing
Outer Horizon is half of the polarity-anchor that makes the bound pair structure work:
- Together with Principle_Inner_Horizon, it forces the pairing of bounds into structurally distinct in/out roles
- Lint verifies every bound’s
polarityfield as exactly one of {Inner, Outer}
