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.

Shem ha-Mephorash
The seventy-two names of God, and the seventy-two angels who bear them — the light that answers the dark of the Goetia.
The Shem ha-Mephorash — "the explicit Name" — is the seventy-two-fold Name of God derived by tradition from three verses of Exodus (14:19–21), each seventy-two Hebrew letters long. Read in boustrophedon (alternating direction), the three verses yield seventy-two three-letter roots; a divine suffix — -el ("of God") or -yah ("of the Lord") — is added to each to name one of the seventy-two angels. Each angel governs five degrees of the zodiac and bestows a particular virtue, and each stands as the benevolent counterpart to one of the seventy-two spirits of the Ars Goetia — the two catalogues mapping the same wheel of the heavens, one in light and one in shadow.
The seventy-two angels are drawn from scripture by a fixed procedure, each then set over a slice of the zodiac and paired to its Goetic shadow:
