Star

A star as a drawn celestial object. THIN ROW, stated plainly: the only fetched attestation is membership of a list of things a moon can be combined with - “stars, planets, constellations, or sun imagery”. No source gives a plain star a meaning. It is registered because the inherited work list carries the label and because motif_nautical_star needs a general sibling to be distinguishable from; a reviewer could reasonably call it list-membership padding, and it is nominated as such.

    iNKPPL Tattoo Magazine

    Tattoo magazine article on one motif, and the richest plural-meaning source in this sub-batch. Verbatim: "The Moon is linked to feminine energy, intuition, and emotionality", "The Moon symbolizes cyclicality and rebirth", "A Moon tattoo also reflects the individuality and mystery of its wearer", and a PHASE-CONDITIONAL pair that is the reason this motif carries a sub-state axis: "The waxing crescent symbolizes setting intentions and building toward goals, while the waning crescent represents release and letting go of what no longer serves you." REFUSED FROM THIS PAGE: "In many Native American traditions, the moon represents the divine feminine and is often called Grandmother Moon" - a trade magazine asserting the religious practice of hundreds of distinct living nations. No edge was built from it; routed to T11.10.

    strength 0.75promoted · not an independent attestationdraft

    Promoted from motifs_seed.common_themes of motif_star ('celestial'); themes_seed.common_motifs of theme_celestial ('star'). Asserted independently from both ends of the relation; deduped to one edge. Confidence is the LOWER of the contributing rows, not the higher. Provenance inherited from the parent row(s): source_inkppl_moon; source_getty_wondrous_cosmos; source_tattooing101_science_tattoos; the first is carried in source_id. No new fact: this edge restates a value already present in the corpus. STRENGTH 0.75 set by the T11.11c rule: this pairing is asserted by TWO parent rows, one from each endpoint's own association column; the pack's scale reads 0.75 as 'frequent'. Inputs are corpus counts only - no source count, tier or confidence is used.
