txt-svoboda-vastuDefinition
Robert E. Svoboda's modern English book on Vāstu, the most on-thesis title of this project: it treats the house as a living, breathing skin for prāṇa, applies the Three Doṣas and Three Guṇas to SPACE/architecture (not only to the body), and centres Vāstu on ākāśa ('Vāstu is ākāśa'). Book 3 of the extraction. Where Book 1 (Bṛhat Saṁhitā) gives classical placement rules and Book 2 (Frawley) gives the jyotiṣa+Ayurveda substrate, Svoboda supplies the explicit dwelling↔body↔prāṇa bridge.
Modern
Prāṇa relevance
The project's central prana-spine conduit: dwelling-as-breathing-skin, condition (vikṛti) of a space over its constitution, ākāśa as the living prāṇa-bearing field, prāṇa→tejas→ojas. A modern author — never CLASSICAL; transmitted standard doctrine = TRADITIONAL/claimed-classical; single-source so every new entity stays draft/stub (§7).
