The suit of Swords engages the realm of thought, clarity, and cognitive emergence—the cutting function of the mind that names, distinguishes, and dissects. This is the suit of light and shadow, where language becomes a double-edged signal: capable of truth or distortion, coherence or fragmentation. Within Emergent Theory, Swords represent the phase of pattern recognition—a necessary function in any evolving system, but one that must be wielded with discernment and care.
