Sune K. Bergström's Birth Card: The 4 of Spades

In the record

Karl Sune Detlof Bergström (10 January 1916 – 15 August 2004) was a Swedish biochemist. The birth-card coordinate for January 10 is the 4 of Spades — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1982 Physiology or Medicine prize.

• 1982 The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine — for their discoveries concerning prostaglandins and related biologically active substances

The 4 of Spades coordinate

Sune K. Bergström's birthday maps to the 4 of Spades (The Rigid Truth). 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 a Nobel Prize and not a verdict on Sune K. Bergström. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You build enough container that change can happen without the floor disappearing.
