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 242
> *A structure held between two hands — foundation framed by partnership.*

## Essence
Two hundred forty-two is a palindrome: it reads the same coming and going, a small symmetry that gives it a settled, self-balancing quality. Its shape tells its story — a [Number 4](/knowledge/numerology/number-4) of structure and foundation cradled between two [Twos](/knowledge/numerology/number-2) of partnership, balance, and trust. Whatever is being built here is not built alone; it stands because two forces hold it steady on either side.
Reduced, its digits sum to eight (2 + 4 + 2 = 8), so beneath the surface it carries the current of the [Number 8](/knowledge/numerology/number-8) — power, material mastery, and karmic balance, the reward that comes from patient, structured work. In the angel-number tradition, 242 is read as reassurance: keep faith, stay balanced, trust the partnerships and the foundation you have laid; the work is sound even when the results are slow to show.
## Correspondences
| Attribute | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Keywords | Balance, faith, partnership, stable foundation |
| Structure | 2 – 4 – 2 (a palindrome: Twos framing a Four) |
| Digit root | 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 |
| Component numbers | [Number 2](/knowledge/numerology/number-2), [Number 4](/knowledge/numerology/number-4), [Number 8](/knowledge/numerology/number-8) |
## Meaning
The number's whole message is in its symmetry: hold the centre, and let the two balancing forces do their work. Its light is patience and trust — the willingness to keep building on a foundation that has not yet been proven. Its shadow is the inertia of the doubled Two: waiting too long, leaning so hard on balance and partnership that nothing decisive ever gets done. The [Number 8](/knowledge/numerology/number-8) underneath is the reminder that the structure is meant, eventually, to bear real weight.
