kennethreitz ce93f429a2 Add Knowledge: the vault's reference shelf, crosslinked across the site
Publish the Obsidian vault's Knowledge folder as /knowledge (881 notes,
67 folders), with a Knowledge item in the nav and footer.

- scripts/import_knowledge.py regenerates data/knowledge from the vault:
  slugged paths, folder notes as index pages, wikilinks resolved to site
  links (or plain text), callouts, highlights, and Dataview tables
  rendered statically. Personal notes are withheld via an exclusion
  list plus a privacy guard.
- tuftecms/core/knowledge.py builds a concept index from note titles and
  aliases. First mentions on ordinary pages link to their Knowledge note
  (capped, never in headings, code, links, or sidenotes); Knowledge pages
  list related notes and where they're mentioned across the site; other
  pages get a Related Knowledge block.
- Knowledge URLs join sitemap.xml (so the sweep test covers them), never
  displace existing legacy slugs, list alphabetically, and mermaid
  diagrams render client-side only on pages that have them.

Ninth House

The horizon does not retreat; it only asks whether you meant it when you said you wanted to see.


Domain

The Ninth House is the house of the far horizon — the mind's reach beyond the known, toward meaning larger than the self. Where the Third House handles the near and the everyday, the Ninth seeks the distant and the abstract: philosophy, religion, the great questions of why we are here and what it all amounts to. It governs higher learning, the university and the pursuit of wisdom beyond mere information, and it rules long journeys, the travel across borders and oceans that widens a life by exposing it to worlds not its own.

This is the house of belief and of the search for truth — the impulse to build a framework of meaning broad enough to live inside. It holds religion and spirituality, the law in its philosophical sense, and the teaching that shares hard-won understanding with others. Physical and mental travel are one gesture here, for both are ways of leaving the familiar in order to grow. Ruled by Jupiter, the Ninth is expansive and optimistic, forever pointing beyond the present circumstance toward something wider. It asks what you are willing to journey toward, and whether your search for meaning is genuine or merely inherited.

On the Wheel

The Ninth House is cadent, a house of adaptation and reach, and it is the last house before the chart arrives at its highest point, the Midheaven. Cadent houses expand and prepare, and the Ninth expands the mind outward toward meaning, readying the self for its public culmination at the Tenth. It holds no angle of its own, yet it sits just below the Midheaven and shares in its elevation, lifting the concerns of the chart from the personal toward the philosophical. Its nature is the journey rather than the arrival — always seeking, always widening the frame.
