The Test
Seat 1: Mythic Name Restoration
Claim: The Nahuatl sun deity; the macron marks a long vowel in scholarly usage. Exhibit: Primary Attestation — Tōnatiuh is attested in the canonical Nahuatl sources as a figure associated with sun, heat, fifth age.
Verdict: survives scrutiny. The myth and the trade do the same work.
Seat 2: Diacritic-First Domains
Claim: The macron on Tōnatiuh marks the Nahuatl long vowel in scholarly use. Exhibit: Name and Meaning — The name means "He who goes forth shining; the Nahuatl sun god" and reflects the figure's role in the tradition.
Verdict: survives scrutiny. The myth and the trade do the same work.
Seat 3: Global Pantheon Brands
Claim: The Nahuatl sun deity; the macron marks a long vowel in scholarly usage. Exhibit: Primary Attestation — Tōnatiuh is attested in the canonical Nahuatl sources as a figure associated with sun, heat, fifth age.
Verdict: survives scrutiny. The myth and the trade do the same work.
The Control Group
Against the seats that survived, one control: the temple's own summary of its figure — The stories of Tōnatiuh circulate within the Nahuatl corpus, where the figure embodies sun, heat, fifth age. The seats do not drift far from it. That is the audit's cleanest result.
The Method, Stated Plainly
Skeptical? Good — the system is built for you. Every seat in this file carries its why-line and its weight, the full derivation is public at the methodology page, and the challenge process is part of the design. Falsifiable is not a posture here; it is the mechanism.
For the Ones Who Work There
For a sponsor in mythic name restoration, the fit here is not adjacency — it is inheritance. Your trade already tells this story every working day; the temple simply holds the original. The patron tier and the advertising terms carry the mechanics; the myths above carry the reason.
The File Continues
This is one of 397 Resonance Files — the third dispatch from every flagship temple, where the myths meet the markets. The temple's founding dispatch tells the name's story; its Restoration File tells the spelling's; the blog index holds the whole archive.
Continue the series — previous: Tlāltēcuhtli (read it) · next: Trengtreng (read it).
The Resonance Files are argued from the same canonical record as the pattern atlas itself: the lexicon, the lore catalog, and the cited sources. Every seat can be challenged at the methodology page — and the challenge is the point.
