Multiple Kipper geometries without false antiquity

OmenHall lets modern technologies be compared without declaring one the sole historical form before the early source is read.

01

4x8 + 4 · modern German practice

All 36 cards: four rows of eight plus four final cards. OmenHall labels this profile modern until an early primary Anleitung supports an earlier status.

  • Automation: ON as a modern profile.
  • Historical 1890 claim: false.

02

9x4 · modern Grand Tableau

Four rows of nine cards form a useful modern full-deck geometry. It is not automatically converted into a system of 36 historical houses.

  • Same deck order across profile switch.
  • No invented house layer.

03

7x5 + cover · modern booklet profile

Hauptperson is placed in the center first; remaining cards are laid around it, and the final card covers Hauptperson. The profile is kept separate from early Seidlein.

  • Querent pre-positioned.
  • Final cover card explicit.

04

Seidlein 1890 · layout unknown pending source

OmenHall intentionally does not draw or automate an early layout. The historical profile becomes executable only after acquisition and direct reading of an instruction witness.

  • Fail closed.
  • No reconstruction by analogy with Lenormand.
