Compare Works
Pick two or more works to set their attribute fingerprints, dimension-by-dimension passages, and shared school embodiments side by side. Especially useful for author-stage comparisons (Wittgenstein early vs late) and for setting a single tradition's foundational texts against each other.

Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each work's passages reveal about its stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Great Hymn to the Aten
The Aten is eternal; daily solar cycle structures cyclical time; deterministic — the Aten alone directs all.
Space
Great Hymn to the Aten
Aten's rays fill infinite space; each land and creature has its appointed local place.
Matter
Great Hymn to the Aten
All life created and sustained by the Aten; matter is finite and dependent on divine energy.
Observer
Great Hymn to the Aten
Akhenaten as sole knower of the Aten; singular privileged observer; personal divine agency.
Energy
Great Hymn to the Aten
The Aten is pure radiant energy — light and warmth as the ontological ground of all life.
Information
Great Hymn to the Aten
The Aten's creative knowledge is conserved; Akhenaten's own name was erased after death.
Internal Tensions
Where each work's argument pulls against itself.
Universal god versus exclusive knowledge (only Akhenaten knows the Aten). Natural theology (visible sun) versus violent iconoclasm (suppressing all other cults). Benevolent universalism coexists with absolute political exclusivity.
