evidence atlas
Every disputed Kipper layer receives a source status here. The atlas deliberately does not turn modern practice into the nineteenth century or fill gaps with Lenormand technique.
01
The atlas does not ask whether a technique is popular in a modern school. It asks what source permits us to call it early, modern, research-only, or still open.
02
The museum deck proves identity and Bavarikon supports publishing history. Exact meanings, cut/deal procedure, distance, houses, and early geometry require the early instruction text itself.

Historical automation remains off until open items receive source-bound adjudication.
A museum-held Matthias Seidlein 1900–1920 set records 36 cards, their numbers, and German titles.
The museum provides an image of the complete early set suitable as a visual edition witness; it is not an instruction witness.
Bavarikon places the earliest documented Kipper appearance in Munich in 1890 with Matthias Seidlein.
Bavarikon reports unchanged reprints in 1900 and 1910.
After the F.X. Schmid transfer the images were reproduced mirror-reversed; directionality must therefore be edition-aware.
OmenHall does not assert a card-22-specific exception without separate source-grade evidence.
The historical identity/authorship of Susanne Kipper is not treated as established fact.
1873 is not used as a proven creation/authorship date.
The current publisher explicitly describes cards 1 and 2 as the male and female person cards.
The current Original Kipper set adds 13 instruction cards; their 26 pages cover general reading, layouts, meanings, and some combinations.
Modern Hauptperson use is not automatically back-projected into 1890; an early instruction witness is required.
The museum inventory proves identity, not exact early meanings; automation remains closed.
The exact early shuffle, cut, and deal procedure is not reconstructed from modern habit.
Neither 4x8+4, 9x4, nor 7x5+cover is presented as the proven 1890 geometry.
A 36-position house overlay is not enabled as a universal historical technology.
A modern research course says it works from early-deck instructions, but OmenHall has not acquired the early text itself.
Numeric near/far thresholds may not be invented or imported from another system.
4x8+4 is registered as contemporary German practice, not as the 1890 instruction.
7x5 with a Hauptperson and cover is stored as a secondary report of a modern booklet method.
9x4, houses, timing, and Line of Sight belong to an explicitly named modern Bavarian Kipper school.
OmenHall does not claim the early instruction proves or disproves reversed meanings; the modern product keeps reversals OFF as a separate product policy.
An official DNB contents record for Marion Röbkes (1998) documents procedure, reading relative to a person card, and a large card picture as late German practice.
The DNB/DDB contents record for Harder/Kolb (2007) explicitly lists “Mischen – Abheben – Auslegen.” This documents modern written practice, not the Seidlein 1890 procedure.
The 2007 contents record documents person-card placement, corners, present/past/future, significator, correspondence cards, and house reading inside a 36-card large picture. This is strong evidence of modern German practice, not nineteenth-century practice.
A DNB contents record for the related Leiding system documents main-person combinations, pair combinations, a large card picture, and a time factor. OmenHall does not back-project those rules into Original Kipper.
