How we know · epistemology
Observer geometry and locational interpretation
Relocation keeps the instant and changes local axes; astrocartography maps angular positions, while local-space maps observer-based directions. Changing zodiac labels alone cannot move physical map lines. These geometries are testable; promises about a location’s personal effects are interpretive claims.
