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.

## Domain
|
|
|
|
The Third House is the house of the near and the everyday — the mind not as it contemplates eternity but as it handles the ordinary business of living. It governs communication in all its forms: speech and writing, the messages sent and received, the endless small exchanges that stitch a day together. It rules siblings and neighbors, the people who share your immediate world without your having chosen them, and the short journeys — the commute, the errand, the walk around the block — that keep that world in motion.
|
|
|
|
This is the domain of the everyday mind, curious and quick, forever collecting fragments and making connections between them. Where later houses reach for wisdom and meaning, the Third is content with information, with knowing how the pieces fit and where things are. It is learning in its earliest form, the schoolroom before the university, the language you speak before you know why words have power. Ruled by Mercury, it is restless and light-footed, gathering and relaying, and it reminds us that a life is largely built from these small transmissions, one after another, rarely noticed and never finished.

## On the Wheel
|
|
|
|
The Third House is cadent, and cadent houses are the houses of adaptation — they follow the succedent houses' work of holding and prepare the ground for the next angular beginning. Their nature is mutable and transitional, and no house wears that nature more naturally than the Third, whose whole business is movement, exchange, and the ceaseless adjustment of the mind to whatever arrives. It holds no angle of the chart. It is a house of process rather than position, of the road rather than the destination, always relaying, always in between.
