Twenty-six seats, twenty-six pigments
Circle of Houses
The alphabet stands in a wheel, A at the top. Around it sits a color wheel — each letter a mineral, amber at dawn walking the spectrum back to ochre. A Letter Path is three letters. Its color is those three pigments in one pot: house half, manner three-tenths, field two-tenths.
Mix a color
Choose which seat you are setting — house, manner, or field — then tap a letter. The well in the middle is the mix. That mix is the Letter Path’s color.
Setting the house. Tap a letter on the wheel.

Olive with olive and cerulean
House 50 · manner 30 · field 20. Mixed in OKLab, the way pigments combine — not the way screens add light.

House of the Caregiver
You make people and projects safe enough to grow.
Old tables call this Pearson Caregiver · the Great Mother — Earth · North · the vessel. A likeness, not a creed. On the wheel this house sits Olive.
Care is deciding what you will protect, and for how long, without owning it. Protection with no door becomes control.
The mineral scale
Every letter keeps one pigment. Vowels sit a little lighter. Tap any chip to set the house and keep mixing.
Allies
These three complete this house’s work.
The Caregiver builds the table the Orphan once stood outside. Kinship here is a craft: a spare chair, not blood.
Holding and healing are one job. Both keep people able to continue — including the one who tends.
The Weaver gives the Caregiver a weave that can breathe. The Caregiver gives the weave a place to be warm.
Enemies
These three work against it — a blind spot, not a villain.
Love looks like a reason to stay, and like a reason to grow. Neither is wrong. Both become a lid if they win alone.
Loyalty names change a betrayal. Change names loyalty a lid. The living bond knows which day it is.
Home can colonize the sacred. The sacred can treat a living room as a draft.
