The 10 of Clubs coordinate

Bill Polian's birthday maps to the 10 of Clubs (The Master Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about induction and not a verdict on Bill Polian. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You carry a finished body of knowledge and keep teaching from it. Life-direction language from the harvested meaning, not a biography: Your curriculum is learning that mastery is a process, not a destination. You're learning to stay humble and curious despite your accomplishments. Under-expressed language from the same harvest: You stockpile what you know and stop putting it to work. Mastery sits unused.

The public formula uses only month and day. Solar value equals fifty-five minus twice the month minus the day. Values one through fifty-two map onto the deck from the Ace of Hearts through the King of Spades. Solar value zero is December 31, published here as the Joker. Card Blueprints does not remap that boundary to the King of Spades on these pages. Leap-day February 29 is computed directly and is not folded onto February 28. The year of birth is unused. No reading is generated and nothing here forecasts a roster, a vote, a championship, or a career. Evidence sentences are copied from the Wikipedia extract without paraphrase. If a Hall of Fame biography or an infobox day disagrees with Wikidata, the person is omitted instead of reconciled by guesswork. Attribution stays on Wikidata, Wikipedia, and the Hall of Fame record. Gregorian day precision is required; Wikidata claims are CC0. Sitelinks and wbgetentities are the identity crosswalk. Conflicts stay uninvented. Remainder dates are not disambiguated by hand.
