JeTheme


The purpose is to build a flexible and convenient tool to practice, document and test astrology and other disciplines with an "irrational" basis, like numerology.
And this question: Can we detect irrational phenomenon using only rational means, just basic permutations of 0 and 1 ?
This started in 1991 and I wrote a draft version in 2014 (merci polemploi), containing astrology, numerology and genealogy, with individual and collective representations.
I stopped this development for two reasons:
  • Failed to find a good data storage, see below
  • Missing data: I imported Gauquelin data from cura.free.fr and implemented statistical tests (chi2) but this was meaningless, because the data are not sorted by emincence. I realized that data is the key point.
So I stopped jetheme to work on data and develop g5 and opengauquelin.org, a reconstitution of the data used in published statistical tests on astrology between 1955 and 1996, see Astrostats.

Jetheme model

What model do we need for astrology ? I tried to list some characteristics:
  1. Astrology deals with everything, and connects everything to everything.
  2. It deals both with our inner world and the outer world.
  3. We need a model which believes in god, considering that every entity of the model is in direct, immediate and permanent connection with all the other entities.
  4. Everything is meaningful, nothing happens by chance. The notion of symbol permit to express these connections.
To build a first model, I didn't try to integrate all these characteristics, I only considered the first point, exploring this question : how to model human experience, without being limited by a fixed schema ?
Jetheme is using the YAGO ontology and its (s,p,o,t,l,x) tuples to represent any data, building graphs. 
s : subject         this person
p : predicate       married
o : object          this other person
t : time            2024-02-10
l : location        geonames.org/2988507/paris.html
x : context         Any data we want - That's cool !
