Parans and Line Crossings
Two lines crossing on a flat map does not by itself prove a combined influence, exact place, event, or life-changing location. Scope is explicit.
Overview
The 3-minute difference passes the declared paran window at that latitude. This is the worked result for Parans and Line Crossings; it remains conditional and does not turn geometry or timing into a verdict. The comparison method is explicit: Identify both bodies and angular events, solve their simultaneous rising, setting, culmination, or anti-culmination, and distinguish a true paran from visual projection crossing.

Definition and exact scope
A paran links two bodies that simultaneously occupy angular conditions for a locality; a drawn line crossing is a map representation that requires geometric verification.
Calculation or decision rule
Identify both bodies and angular events, solve their simultaneous rising, setting, culmination, or anti-culmination, and distinguish a true paran from visual projection crossing. The receipt retains the chosen input record, reference frame, tolerance, and version, then identifies the first step where an independent recalculation diverges.
Worked case and illustrative near miss
latitude 40°N; star rise 05:42 UT; ♃ upper culmination 05:45 UT; paran window 5 minutes. the 3-minute difference passes the declared paran window at that latitude.
Illustrative near miss; does not qualify: Using the same rise time at a different latitude or widening the window after seeing a 12-minute miss.
School, model, and context variants
Two lines crossing on a flat map does not by itself prove a combined influence, exact place, event, or life-changing location.
