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.

Ose

A leopard that stands as a man, unmaker of the mind’s certainties.


The Spirit

Ose — also written Oso, Voso, or Oze — is the fifty-seventh spirit of the Ars Goetia, a Great President who appears in the form of a leopard and, when commanded by the operator, takes on the shape of a man. He is a spirit of the intellect and of transformation, but of a peculiar and unsettling kind: his powers touch not only what a person knows but the very sense a person has of who they are.

The grimoire portrays him as a compact but potent spirit, and his relatively small legion belies the profound reach of his office, which extends into the interior world of identity and belief.

Office

The Goetia says that Ose makes men wise in the liberal sciences and gives true answers concerning divine and secret things. His most striking power is over the mind itself: at the operator’s command he can change a man into any shape the operator wishes, and so completely persuade that person of the transformation that he genuinely believes himself to be that creature — losing his senses and his former self for a time. His office thus joins learning and revelation with a disquieting mastery over perception and self-knowledge.
