OmenHall presents not one invented 'tradition' but evidence layers: historical identity, edition geometry, and honestly labelled modern schools.
01
Historically verified identity means the 36 cards and their German titles in a museum-held Matthias Seidlein 1900–1920 deck. Meanings and layouts are not inferred merely from card identity.
02
Museum history records the 1920 transfer to F.X. Schmid and mirrored reproduction of the images in a later edition. OmenHall therefore does not hard-code universal left=past/right=future semantics: direction must depend on the actual edition geometry.
03
4x8+4, 9x4, a modern booklet 7x5 method, and Bavarian directional practice may all be useful, but only as explicitly labelled modern profiles. They are not automatically proven as Seidlein's 1890 instruction.
04
The Schmid mirror history describes image edition geometry; it does not by itself create directional meaning. Likewise Hauptperson, houses, distance, and timing are enabled only where a named modern profile supports them; the early runtime remains fail-closed.
05
In Physical Deck mode the entropy source stays outside OmenHall: the user shuffles, cuts, and reveals a real 36-card deck, while the site only transcribes the order that actually appeared. This product profile is not presented as a reconstruction of Seidlein 1890.

This is a geometry study, not a divination draw: the order is deterministic and explicitly not presented as random. Switching modern geometry does not change it. Early Seidlein mode is intentionally not drawn because no acquired primary booklet currently justifies calling a specific geometry an 1890 rule.
Contemporary German-practice 4x8+4 geometry. Not labelled as an 1890 rule.
