Decks with Interconnected Subjects

In some decks (such as the Connolly) it is not - 3 Pents is apprentice (although they have him in the Master's setting) and 8 Pents in the master builder.

The Connolly is derivative of Rider-Waite which is what I'm talking about. I'm guessing they reversed it because they couldn't figure out why the master proceeds the apprentice if you count from low to high.

It has something to do with 8 being a number of completion ... I'm sure ...
