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.
Quantum Theory
Bohm's 1951 graduate-level quantum-mechanics textbook — celebrated for philosophical-conceptual clarity

Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each work's passages reveal about its stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Quantum Theory
The 1951 early-career Princeton period.
Space
Quantum Theory
The Princeton-Institute-for-Advanced-Study setting.
Matter
Quantum Theory
The quantum-microphysical reality the textbook treats.
Observer
Quantum Theory
The graduate-physics student as proper addressee.
Energy
Quantum Theory
The quantum-mechanical energies the textbook describes.
Information
Quantum Theory
The systematic quantum-mechanical content.
Internal Tensions
Where each work's argument pulls against itself.
Quantum Theory has remained valued for philosophical-conceptual clarity; Bohm's subsequent 1952 hidden-variable work represents departure from its more Copenhagen-sympathetic position.
