How we know · epistemology
Absence of assigned essential dignity
This condition requires checking all five essential dignities under the selected table, including the applicable day/night rule for triplicity. Absence of domicile or exaltation alone cannot prove peregrine; the historical category is not evidence of dishonesty, social exclusion, or a person’s worth.
