Zodiacal Releasing
Zodiacal releasing is a Hellenistic time-lord technique that releases from a selected lot through sign periods at nested levels. Scope is explicit.
Overview
The first level begins with Capricorn and its documented period length before lower levels are subdivided. This is the worked result for Zodiacal Releasing; it remains conditional and does not turn geometry or timing into a verdict. The comparison method is explicit: Declare the lot formula, sect and zodiac choices, period lengths, 360-day-year convention, level boundaries, and loosing-of-the-bond rule.

Definition and exact scope
Zodiacal releasing is a Hellenistic time-lord technique that releases from a selected lot through sign periods at nested levels.
Calculation or decision rule
Declare the lot formula, sect and zodiac choices, period lengths, 360-day-year convention, level boundaries, and loosing-of-the-bond rule. 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
starting lot at 3°♑; Capricorn period table and sect convention declared; birth epoch fixed. the first level begins with Capricorn and its documented period length before lower levels are subdivided.
Illustrative near miss; does not qualify: Starting from the Ascendant instead of the selected lot or mixing period tables from different authors.
School, model, and context variants
Changing lot or period convention changes the timeline; releasing periods cannot establish peak success, crisis, fame, or death.
Product, safety, and verification boundary
