Як виводиться ця карта
Papus gives no separate description of this card. It is derived from his system: Swords is Vau (ו), the equilibrating principle, the link between the two, acting in Yetzirah, the formative world; the Page is He final, the realizing term embodied — the suit brought down into fact. The meaning below is that combination read out, not a quotation from him.
Пряме положення
The realizing term as a person: conflict brought down into fact by watching. The Page of Swords is vigilance — the one who notices, checks, asks the question nobody asked and then reports it. Papus's fourth term makes things real, and what this Page makes real is information: not yet judgement and not yet force, but the raw material both of those need, gathered by someone with no stake in the answer.
Перевернуте положення
Watching that has become suspicion — vigilance with its conclusion fitted in advance. Or information gathered endlessly and never handed on, so that nothing is realized after all.

У розкладі
At the commencement, the matter begins because somebody noticed something. In opposition, a watcher — Papus's method says identify them rather than resent them. At equilibrium the situation holds because it is being monitored. As the result: something comes to light.
