The 8 of Diamonds coordinate

Boyd Gaines's birthday maps to the 8 of Diamonds (The Businessman). 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 Tony Award and not a verdict on Boyd Gaines. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You run the money system in the open and you can explain the call.
