On the Name.
Jyotish is the brand, chosen deliberately to acknowledge the lineage. The work on this site is called JYOTINT. This essay is about why the two names are different, and what is and is not being asked of the reader.
My legal name is Vijay Venkatraman. Jyotish is the brand I publish under — deliberately chosen to acknowledge the jyotish lineage, not hide it. In Sanskrit, ज्योतिष is the term for the Indian sidereal tradition — what English calls Vedic astrology. I picked the name. I am not ashamed of it. I want to say that once, plainly, before saying anything else.
The work I publish on this site is called JYOTINT, not Jyotish. The rest of this essay is about why, and what I am and am not asking you to accept.
A folk astrology reading, of any tradition, looks like this: an undated, unsealed, ambiguous statement that fits many outcomes, delivered to one person, ungraded after the fact. That is not what is on this site. What is on this site looks like this: dated forecasts naming actor, target, and window; sealed to public infrastructure (YouTube upload time and SHA-256 of objectId·date·title·claim) before the prediction window opens; anchored into Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps; graded HIT / NEAR / PARTIAL / MISS against a rubric I cannot change after the fact. The shape of the artifact is different. The grading discipline is different. The audit trail is different.
