Entailments Across Dilemmas
Argument Map
The 51 dilemmas are not independent. Every school in the atlas resolves to one stance on every dilemma, and the resulting co-membership produces measurable conditional probabilities: if you hold stance X on dilemma A, what stance on dilemma B do schools in your position tend to also hold? The argument map surfaces these entailments — turning isolated questions into a navigable terrain of philosophical commitments.
Structural equivalences. These pairs share the same coordinate criteria — they are different dilemmas that the framework treats as fundamentally the same question. Useful for seeing the atlas's joint structure; less interesting as entailments, since the implication is by construction.
