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.
The pot
Vermilion with vermilion and teal
House 50 · manner 30 · field 20. Mixed in OKLab, the way pigments combine — not the way screens add light.
The Double Oracle of the Vista
VVH · Vermilion with vermilion and teal
You see a future with a face, and then you take the next ordinary step.

House of the Oracle
You see a future with a face, and then you take the next ordinary step.
Old tables call this The Pythia · vocation as seeing — Aether · Delphi · the inner temple. A likeness, not a creed. On the wheel this house sits Vermilion.
A vision without a body is a daydream with better lighting. Vocation means an image rises and you live toward it in ordinary inches. An oracle that will not take the next step is only theater.
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 Prophet names what is coming. The Oracle gives that picture a next step.
What is received in private must be said aloud. The Oracle's picture; the Bard's pitch.
The Oracle's picture will not become a statue while the Trickster is in the room.
Enemies
These three work against it — a blind spot, not a villain.
Insight hoarded, vocation displayed — the same seeing, two vanities, one unused village.
Shared pattern versus a picture received in private. Both can colonize the other.
Sight that will not act. Will that will not see.
