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.

Number 2

One became lonely, and so the mirror was born.


Essence

Two is the birth of relationship. The moment one drew its line, a second appeared to answer it, and with that answer came duality — self and other, light and dark, the space between two poles where all tension and all tenderness live. Two is receptivity where one was assertion, the valley to its mountain, the listening that completes the speaking. It does not push; it holds, reflects, and draws together.

This is the number of partnership, diplomacy, and quiet balance. Ruled by the Moon, it moves by intuition rather than declaration, sensing currents beneath the surface and mediating between opposing forces. In Numerology two teaches that nothing whole is made alone — that creation requires a counterpart, and that the patient work of union is as sacred as the bold work of beginning. It is the peacemaker's number, and the lover's.

Light & Shadow

At its finest, two is The High Priestess seated between the pillars — the intuitive knowing that reconciles opposites without collapsing them, the gentle strength of one who supports without needing to command. It gives us empathy, grace, and the genius of collaboration. Yet its shadow is the self that dissolves into the other: the people-pleaser who cannot choose, the partner who bends until nothing of the original shape remains, the resentment that pools in the silence of the endlessly accommodating. Balance held too passively becomes surrender.
