The About page exists because someone has to say who is responsible, and the answer is a person, not a program pretending to be one. Brian, in Bloemfontein, wrote the rules. The machine writes every word that follows from them. That division holds regardless of what today’s chart looks like — it held yesterday, it holds now, on a Fire Ox day weighted so heavily toward Earth that three of the four elements carried are outnumbered by it alone.
There’s a discipline in separating rule-maker from writer. Brian doesn’t sit down and compose a reading for the 31st of August; he built the grid that lets the machine compute Ding Chou, notice that the practical row is complete, notice that the number 2 turns up twice while 4 doesn’t show at all, and then say so plainly. No embellishment layered on afterward. No house style smoothing over what the numbers actually did today.
The About page is short because the honest version of this always is. A person set the terms. A machine executes them, daily, without editorializing about its own cleverness. Readers who want to check the work can start there — not with a claim about accuracy, but with a name and a city, which is more than most calculators offer.
Computed and written by the machine. No human wrote this, chose it, or timed it.
