Editorial method

Every published wiki page has to say what a source can prove, what that fateshow tool actually calculates, and where interpretation must stop.

Editorial review: 2026-09-22 · Reviewed by fateshow · Editorial method

Three layers that stay separate

Calculable facts are the objects a named tool prints from complete input and a declared configuration: pillars, positions, gates, kutas, lines, or cards.

Traditional wording is recorded as a received framework. It can explain how a school talks about those objects. It cannot prove scientific validity or guarantee an outcome.

Modern editorial notes explain fateshow product behaviour, learning order, and safety limits. They are not extra chart evidence.

Languages and publication bar

English and Simplified Chinese are written as independent pages. Machine-translated stubs are not published. A page enters search and the sidebar only after both locales have a definition, sources, and a check against the live chart rules.

What this wiki will not do

A page stays inside the system its tool calculates. Ten gods, houses, palaces, gates, and hexagram lines are not interchangeable, and a scene the tool does not declare is not added in prose.

The wiki does not invent a missing birth hour, a missing coordinate, or a cast the user did not make. Medical, legal, and financial decisions need the corresponding professional evidence.

Common mistakes

  • Using a screenshot from another app as proof that fateshow calculated the same chart.
  • Quoting a classic as if it validated a modern personality claim.

Frequently asked questions

Why do two calculators disagree?

They may use different boundaries, ayanamsa, house systems, true-solar-time handling, or transformation tables. Compare the declared settings before judging either result.

Does a classical citation make a reading true?

No. A citation shows where a traditional wording comes from. It does not turn that wording into a testable prediction.

When should a page stay unpublished?

When the calculation rule is unchecked, the localisation is incomplete, or the text would imply an outcome the chart cannot support.

Sources and editorial basis

  1. 1. fateshow chart rule snapshot

    Each generated report stores the engine settings that produced it. Compare those settings before treating two charts as the same calculation.

  2. 2. iztro Zi Wei Dou Shu engine

    Supports only what the current fateshow configuration actually calculates: palace placement, major-star arrangements, and the recorded year-boundary, leap-month, and transformation settings. It does not prove that any traditional school is uniquely correct.

  3. 3. Ziwei Doushu Quanshu (received editions)

    Used to cross-check palace names, star lists, and traditional wording. A received text can record a tradition; it cannot prove scientific validity or guarantee an event.
