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
Logical Investigations (fragments)
Stoic cyclical cosmic time; logical truths hold across conflagrations.
Space
Logical Investigations (fragments)
The Stoic finite cosmos; logical structure is independent of spatial location.
Matter
Logical Investigations (fragments)
Stoic corporeal ontology; the lekton (sayable) is notably incorporeal — a rare exception.
Observer
Logical Investigations (fragments)
The rational agent who grasps propositions and follows valid inferences.
Energy
Logical Investigations (fragments)
Stoic pneuma and conflagration cycle.
Information
Logical Investigations (fragments)
Discrete propositions (lekta) as the bearers of logical content; foundational for information-theoretic semantics.
Internal Tensions
Where each work's argument pulls against itself.
The incorporeal status of the lekton sits uneasily with Stoic corporeal ontology; the relationship between Stoic logic and Stoic physics remains a subject of scholarly debate.
