The provided source material focuses exclusively on the technical aspects of a numerology calculator software package, detailing its features, calculation methods, and search capabilities. While the PruthaVastu platform typically integrates Vastu Shastra, Tarot, and Numerology for holistic well-being, the specific documentation available pertains to a computational tool designed to generate raw numerological numbers. This article outlines the technical concepts and functionalities found within the source data, offering a detailed examination of how specific numerological calculations are performed and utilized within this software context.
Core Numerological Calculations
The software package provides a structured approach to name-based numerology, utilizing specific parameters to derive numerical values from names. The primary calculation involves the Name function, which requires three distinct properties to define the calculation output: the Number System, Master Numbers, and Reduce Words setting.
Number Systems
The calculator supports two of the most common numerological systems for assigning numbers to the letters of the alphabet: * Pythagorean System: One of the standard systems included in the software. * Chaldean System: The second standard system available for calculations.
Master Numbers
Master Numbers are defined as numbers considered to have special numerological importance. Within the software, these numbers are treated differently in calculations to prevent them from being reduced to single digits. * The most commonly cited master numbers are 11, 22, and 33. * The software allows for customization of which numbers are considered master numbers. * Some interpretations suggest that all repeated numbers (e.g., 44, 55, 66) may be special, and the master number list can be adjusted to reflect this.
Reduce Words
The Reduce Words setting determines the order of summation and reduction:
* When True: The calculation process sums and reduces each name (e.g., first name, middle name, last name) individually. These individual results are then summed and reduced to produce the final value.
* When False: All parts of the name are summed together first, and the total is then reduced.
Name Analysis and Result Interpretation
Once a name is processed using the Name function, various methods can be called to calculate specific numerological properties. The software returns a NumerologicalResult struct containing the calculated values and a breakdown of the steps.
Calculation Methods
The following methods are available to derive specific numerological numbers from a name: * Full / Destiny / Expression: These are aliases for the same calculation, representing the full numerical value of the name. * Vowels / Souls Urge / Hearts Desire: These aliases calculate the value based on the vowels within the name. * Consonants / Personality: These aliases calculate the value based on the consonants within the name. * Hidden Passions: Calculates specific values related to internal drives. * Karmic Lessons: Identifies numbers that are missing from the name's calculation.
Debugging and Breakdown
The NumerologicalResult struct includes a Debug() method. This method returns a multiline string providing a simplistic breakdown of the calculation steps. This is intended to visualize the conversion of letters to numbers and the reduction process. For example, a breakdown might show the individual letter values, the sum for each name, and the reduction steps to the final number.
Name Search Capabilities
A distinct feature of this calculator is its ability to search for names that match specific numerological criteria. This allows for scanning a database of names to find ones that, when combined with existing names, possess desired numerical properties.
Search Parameters
The search is controlled by a NameSearchOpts struct, which includes:
* Count: The number of results to return in a batch.
* Offset: Used to retrieve subsequent batches of results.
* Seed: Used for generating "random" sort results; a known seed ensures consistent results when batching.
* Database: The connection string for the database to be searched (e.g., "sqlite://testnames.db").
* Dictionary: The name of the table within the database (e.g., "usacensus").
* Gender: Allows filtering results by gender (e.g., Female) to make results sound more male or female.
* Sort: Defines the sorting method (e.g., CommonSort).
Search Criteria
The search can filter names based on specific numerical values for different parts of the name:
* Full: Represents the full name calculation. The search can specify required numbers or exclude specific numbers. For example, []int{1, 8, -13} seeks names with Full values of 1 or 8, but excludes names with a value of 13.
* Vowels: Specifies desired values for the vowel calculation.
* Consonants: Specifies desired values for the consonant calculation.
* HiddenPassions and KarmicLessons: These can be specified to filter based on these specific attributes.
The source notes that while brute force methods could be used, the software utilizes "tricks" to filter out names that won't work before querying the database. It is noted that a database of 100,000 names with pre-calculations is only 13.5 MB, and searches take hundredths of a second.
Date Calculation
In addition to name calculations, the software includes functionality for date-based numerology.
Life Path and Event Calculation
The Date function is used to process dates, requiring the date and a list of master numbers. Two primary methods are available:
* LifePath(): Calculates the Life Path number based on the date of birth, taking master numbers into account.
* Event(): Calculates a number for a specific event date.
The software notes that Life Path numbers are tied to one's birth date, and searching for specific Life Path dates is generally not practical as birth timing is difficult to control. However, the calculator can search for dates with specific numerological criteria, though it relies on looping through dates rather than the optimized database search used for names.
Conclusion
The provided source material describes a technical software tool for numerological calculation rather than a holistic guide to spiritual well-being. It offers robust capabilities for calculating standard numerological values based on Pythagorean or Chaldean systems, with options for customizing master numbers and reduction methods. The inclusion of a database search function for finding names that meet specific numerical criteria highlights its utility for specialized applications, such as name selection or analysis. While the software provides the raw numbers and breakdowns, it explicitly states that it does not provide numerological interpretations, focusing purely on the computational aspect of numerology.
