Work Classification Layer
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
Time and Free Will (Essai sur les données immédiates de la conscience)
Central — durée vs. spatialized time.
Space
Time and Free Will (Essai sur les données immédiates de la conscience)
The spatialized time critically distinguished from durée.
Matter
Time and Free Will (Essai sur les données immédiates de la conscience)
The embodied conscious person experiencing durée.
Observer
Time and Free Will (Essai sur les données immédiates de la conscience)
The lived-time-experiencing self.
Energy
Time and Free Will (Essai sur les données immédiates de la conscience)
Energies of psychic durée.
Information
Time and Free Will (Essai sur les données immédiates de la conscience)
Foundational philosophy-of-lived-time framework.
Internal Tensions
Where each work's argument pulls against itself.
Bergson's durée influenced Husserl, Whitehead, Proust, James — major modernist catalyst.
