Layouts 10/26/2006

Below the cut are two layouts of the Net of Mirrors generated by my little random-card-choosing program. This is just the raw output of two passes of the program, without interpretations.

At least they seem fairly hopeful. The second layout is especially interesting, with I Ching 1 (Yang) showing up in the direction of Yin.

Eventually, I'd like to have a page where you can click a button and have a layout generated with little icons of the cards in the correct locations, with links to the card texts.

But first I need to re-write the card texts.

And create mirror-card icons that are compact but meaningful.

The layout is Gates

        Gate 20: Lady of the Bees (Bright)
