A Constellation Method

Cosmic Mytharium

Drawing the lines between existing stars to identify new astrological bodies

Mythography by know(o)ne.

The Constellation

The figure precedes the body— the mythographer draws the lines between the stars and names what the figure reveals★

∞The open horizon— forthcoming constellations · stars not yet named · lines not yet drawn

The structure is open by design. New stars are added as they are named. New constellations are drawn as they are seen. Each line drawn between two figures is a hypothesis; each closing of a figure around an empty region is a prediction. The corpus grows by the same logic the method describes.
