The Jack of Diamonds coordinate

Edwin G. Krebs's birthday maps to the Jack of Diamonds (The Successful Messenger). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused.

The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You try a new approach to value and you finish enough of it to know if it works.
