It is quite possible that the Court* scheme – King-Queen-Knight-Knave – has a structure-symbolising function in a number of different contexts. I still think that the earlier scheme** was the most felicitous:

	One		Spirit	/	King	– Inner Circle continuing (Innermost?)		{\}
/	Angels		Soul	\	Queen	– Inner Circle coming in	←↑	{/}	TXIV-TXXI
|	Men		Mind	/	Knight	– Outer Circle turning in	←↓	{\}	TVI-TXIII
\	Animals	\	Body	\	Knave	– Outer Circle continuing (Outermost?)		{/}
	Matter	/				(Bear in mind influence of T0-V on all Circles)

Clearly this is not quite consistent with the attempt to fit Tarots (p319)*** to Separations (p318)****{; so:}

0		(0)	One
0-I		(1)	Line Separation (Static)	– Separation (TI↓ME)
I/II-V(/VII)		(2)	Circle (or Plane) Separation (Dynamic)	– (Outer?) Principles		Knaves	((Body))#
VI-XIII(/XIV)	\	(3)	Cone (or Depth or Solid) Separation (Orders, Levels)	/– Properties,	\	Knights	(Mind)
XIV(/XV)-XXI	/			\ & Qualities	/	Queens	(Soul)
0		...				Kings	(Spirit)

There is no escaping from the conclusion that the Separation is constructed from the bottom up, as it were: which makes some logical sense if its purpose is to develop and refine something of value to, and therefore presumably comparable in quality to, God. Two things follow from this, at least possibly.#*
