TIME Person of the Year Birth Cards
Each birthday maps to one card through the public formula. That is a coordinate, not a forecast. Days that conflict or are year-only are not invented.
Solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). December 31 is the Joker. Year of birth is unused. Year-only Wikipedia infobox dates and source conflicts are dropped.

FAQ
- How many TIME Person of the Year pages are here?
- 74 named humans. Duals and joint years are split per person. Abstractions, machines, and groups-as-concepts are omitted. Year-only Wikipedia infobox dates, Wikidata day-precision failures, and Wikipedia↔Wikidata conflicts are dropped. Dates are never invented.
- Is this fortune-telling?
- No. A birth card is the calendar coordinate for a month and day. The year is unused. Nothing here predicts a magazine cover or character.
- Where do the dates come from?
- Wikipedia person-page infobox birth-date templates, verified against Wikidata P569 at day precision (CC0, Gregorian preferred). Honoree identity comes from the Wikipedia TIME Person of the Year list. TIME vault is context only and is not a date source.
