Meaning
The swarm network — many connections, no single authority, pure distributed consensus. The crowd mirrors its environment, amplifying whatever signal surrounds it. Neutral: it becomes what it reflects.
Shield Chart Role
In the shield chart, figures interact through binary addition (XOR of each row). When Populus appears as a mother, daughter, niece, witness, or judge, its elemental nature shapes the derivation chain and influences the reading at every level of computation.
Nature: Neutral
Populus is a neutral figure. Its influence depends entirely on context — the surrounding figures, the house it occupies, and the question asked. Like a variable waiting for assignment, it takes on the character of its environment.
