THE DECKS

The decks house shiftable units of content, each known as a card. Like traditional Tarot, the decks Rule of Three and Snail in the Form of Cochlea contain seventy-eight cards. Unlike Tarot, the Emergency deck contains 120 cards. The cards from each deck may be limited, excerpted, and rearranged in order to display a reading. This reading then relies on the reader's intention to divine the semantics of a collection of cards.
