The 7 of 9 ⨺ SOLVE COAGULA Mind Map System Gallery

As the prototype is being developed, this gallery of card designs will be continually updated.

The COAGULA ⨺ 27(54) Set

Click the arrows top right of each image to expand to full screen. Below each card face, the corresponding stage of alchemy is described alongside its corresponding institutional sector. Each stage and sector (card faces) is reflective of an album from the band 30 Seconds To Mars, as described. This is followed by any notes about the card design where available :

This is the card face which will appear exactly the same on all COAGULA cards. 

The Coagulation Stage 🜚

This stage represents embodiment : insight or understanding becoming stable, lived, and integrated into daily action.

The Mass Media

For example, television, film, music, journalism, advertising : The systems through which information and cultural signals are communicated to the public.

Design Notes

This symbol is a stylized interpretation of the coagulation stage, communicating fixation, stability, and embodied completion without excess. The nested triangles form a sealed, final container, while the central diamond introduces the principle of crystallization and fixity at the core. The calm, centred geometry conveys resolution and integration rather than drama, aligning closely with the philosophical meaning of coagulation as the stabilization of insight within form.

30STM Album

The Corresponding 30 Seconds to Mars Album which models after this stage of alchemy : 

Potential Future and Final Album (Unreleased)
Themes (anticipated) : embodiment of transcendence, living truth, art as self-realized unity of perceptual opposites.


Alchemy Reflection : Spirit and matter are one. In this hypothetical next phase, we might expect something quieter, purer, or more sacred — the artistic embodiment of everything the previous albums sought to reconcile.

The Mass Media Sector Reflection : In this final phase, meaning is embodied and stabilized through communication. Mass media functions as coagulation by fixing insight into shared cultural form, allowing ideas to circulate, persist, and be lived collectively. This stage and anticipated album represents the moment when transformation becomes visible, inhabitable, and real. This anticipated final phase suggests an album where meaning is not fragmented or performed, but fully embodied and communicated with clarity. 

This is the initial card back layout for the  COAGULA ⨺ 27(54) set.

The COAGULA backs, in gold, have three triangular areas where 3 different symbols each will eventually be placed to indicate forms of gameplay. 

The top symbol will signify relationships between cards : cooperation, neutrality and non-cooperation. 

The bottom left symbol will have 9 permutations, each signifying a strategy contextualized by the top symbol.

The bottom right symbol is not yet decided upon.

The SOLVE ⨺ 18(36) Set

Click the arrows top right of each image to expand to full screen. Below each card face, the corresponding stage of alchemy is described
alongside its corresponding institutional sector. Each stage and sector (card faces) is reflective of an album from the band 30 Seconds To Mars, as described. This is followed by any notes about the card design where available :

This card face will appear on 3(6) of the SOLVE ⨺ 18(36) cards.

The Calcination Stage 🜃

This stage represents the breaking down of rigid beliefs, ego structures, and false certainties so that something more essential can emerge.

The Financial Sector

The World Bank & IMF, extending to all local banks.

30STM Album

The Corresponding 30 Seconds to Mars Album which is aligned with this card :

30 Seconds to Mars (self-titled) (2002)
Themes : apocalypse, destruction, the illusion of reality, escape, transformation.

Alchemy Reflection : The ego or false self is burned away. The band’s debut erupts in existential fire — tracks like “Capricorn (A Brand New Name)” and “Edge of the Earth” burn with the impulse to dissolve the old self and be reborn. “I’m no one… and I don’t need anyone.” — “Capricorn”

The Financial Sector (World Bank, IMF) Reflection : This album reflects the destructive fire that exposes false systems of value and control. Apocalyptic imagery and existential urgency mirror how financial power structures shape reality through abstraction, debt, and collapse. Calcination here burns away trust in inherited economic narratives, forcing a confrontation with what truly holds value.

Design Notes

This card has been flipped upsidown. The right side up version is technically how the card will be presented in the system, but the card can be flexibly placed up or down. Regardless, the actual symbol of alchemy appears flipped as you see it here. 

This card face will appear on 3(6) of the SOLVE ⨺ 18(36) cards.

The Dissolution Stage 🜂

This stage corresponds to surrender, emotional fluidity, and allowing previously fixed ideas to loosen and move.

The Medical Sector

Doctors, hospitals, care and the "Big Pharma" pharmaceutical industry and laboratories. 

30STM Album

The Corresponding 30 Seconds to Mars Album which reflects with this card :

A Beautiful Lie (2005)
Themes : confronting deception, emotional catharsis, personal vulnerability, death and rebirth.

Alchemy Reflection : After burning away illusion, the ego begins to dissolve. This album exposes inner chaos (“The Kill,” “A Beautiful Lie”) and begins to break emotional rigidities through raw confession.

The Medical Sector (Doctors, Big Pharma) Reflection : This album reflects the dissolving of personal and emotional structures, paralleling the medical sector's tendency to destabilize as much as to heal. Themes of exposure, vulnerability, and breakdown mirror how medical institutions often intervene by fragmenting the body into symptoms, diagnoses, and protocols. In dissolution, trust erodes, certainty collapses, and the individual is left raw — caught between care and control, healing and dependency.

This card face will appear on 3(6) of the SOLVE ⨺ 18(36) cards.

The Separation Stage 🜄

This stage reflects discernment and clarity, learning to distinguish what is valuable from what is no longer needed within one’s thoughts and habits.

The Militia / Arms Sector

From politically oriented militia and beyond to private arms dealers and arms development.

30STM Album

The Corresponding 30 Seconds to Mars Album which is aligned with this card :

This Is War (2009)
Themes : conflict, faith, revolution, duality, surrender.


Alchemy Reflection : The purified elements are separated — truth and untruth, light and dark, war and peace. This is the album of differentiation, where opposites are clearly defined to prepare for synthesis.

The Military Sector (Trade, Development, Conflict) Reflection : The album embodies the logic of separation : allies and enemies, belief and doubt, victory and surrender. Its themes mirror the military sector’s function of defining boundaries and enforcing distinctions, distilling identity through conflict in preparation for resolution or reintegration.

Design Notes

This card has been flipped upsidown. The right side up version is technically how the card will be presented in the system, but the card can be flexibly placed up or down. Regardless, the actual symbol of alchemy appears flipped as you see it here. 

This card face will appear on 3(6) of the SOLVE ⨺ 18(36) cards.

The Conjunction Stage 🜁

This stage represents integration : the conscious joining of previously opposing or fragmented parts into a coherent whole.

The Religious Sector

"The Church" as I often call it, or any major or smaller world religions. This includes the institution of the family and its related morals.

30STM Album

The Corresponding 30 Seconds to Mars Album which reflects with this card :

Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams (2013)
Themes : integration, cosmic love, the four elements, transcendence through beauty.

Alchemy Reflection : The alchemist unites spirit and matter. Jared explicitly structures this album into elemental quadrants — Love, Lust, Faith, Dreams — reflecting coniunctio oppositorum, the sacred marriage of dual forces.

Religion & the Family Unit Reflection : Here, opposites are reunited through devotion, intimacy, and shared meaning. The album’s elemental structure reflects religion and family as institutions that bind spirit and matter, belief and practice, individual desire and collective ritual into coherent, lived systems of meaning.

This card face will appear on 3(6) of the SOLVE ⨺ 18(36) cards.

The Fermentation Stage 🜔

This stage reflects a crisis or breakdown that paradoxically gives rise to new insight, creativity, or meaning.

The Political Sector

World Governments, Monarchy and UN

30STM Album

The Corresponding 30 Seconds to Mars Album which reflects with this stage of alchemy :

America (2018)
Themes : cultural decay, identity crisis, resurrection of meaning in chaos.


Alchemy Reflection : The old matter has rotted, and new life begins to emerge. The band ferments their sound — pop, trap, electronic — and their critique of modern culture becomes a philosophical renewal through decay.

The Political Sector Reflection : This album inhabits cultural decay as a generative force, mirroring political systems under pressure. Through critique, irony, and stylistic rupture, it reflects how political life ferments identity during moments of collapse, allowing new narratives and ideologies to emerge from disintegration.

Design Notes

This symbol is a stylized variation of a classical philosophical symbol for the fermentation stage, often represented as ⊖. The design communicates containment, suspension, and internal transformation without relying on literal imagery. The closed triangle functions as a sealed vessel, the central void suggests the dissolution of the previous form, and the horizontal bar captures the pause and negation characteristic of fermentation. Rather than depicting decay directly, the symbol enacts a state of gestational stillness in which transformation occurs unseen—aligning closely with the philosophical and alchemical essence of this stage.

This card face will appear on 3(6) of the SOLVE ⨺ 18(36) cards.

The Distillation Stage 🜍

This stage corresponds to refinement of awareness through repetition, reflection, and practice, extracting clarity from experience.

The Corporate Sector

Brands, services and business, local, national and transnational.

30STM Album

The Corresponding 30 Seconds to Mars Album which reflects with this stage of alchemy :

It’s the End of the World but It’s a Beautiful Day (2023)
Themes : simplicity, surrender, serenity in chaos, faith in presence.


Alchemy Reflection : The spirit is refined into clarity. After years of grandiosity, the music becomes stripped down, honest, luminous — like vapor rising after the storm.

The Corporate Sector (Brands, Services, Business) : Stripped-down and restrained, this album reflects distillation as refinement through repetition. Its clarity parallels the corporate sector’s ability to condense complexity into consumable form, extracting essence through iteration, optimization, and disciplined presentation.

Design Notes

This symbol is a stylized variation of a classical philosophical symbol for distillation, often represented as 🜍. The glyph expresses refinement through repeated ascent and return using structure alone. An internal network of straight lines forms multiple triangular chambers, suggesting fractionation as clarity is achieved through successive stages rather than a single motion. The central inverted triangle reads as the volatile essence rising, while the surrounding upright triangles indicate containment and disciplined control. Philosophically, the symbol conveys clarity through iteration — consciousness lifted, condensed, and reintroduced in a more ordered form — where nothing spills outward and everything circulates inward and upward.

This is the initial card back layout for the  SOLVE ⨺ 18(36) set.

The SOLVE backs, in silver, have one triangular area where 3 different varying symbols, card to card, will eventually be placed to indicate forms of gameplay.

This symbol will signify relationships between cards : cooperation, neutrality and non-cooperation.
