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
Attributed Sayings and Wisdom Traditions
Eternal cosmological horizon; cyclical solar and agricultural time; pyramid as instrument of permanence.
Space
Attributed Sayings and Wisdom Traditions
Finite, three-tiered Egyptian cosmos; sacred geometry anchored in cardinal orientation.
Matter
Attributed Sayings and Wisdom Traditions
Stone as the material of permanence; body preserved through mummification; empirical knowledge of anatomy.
Observer
Attributed Sayings and Wisdom Traditions
The sage-architect-physician who knows through observation and craft; gods guide the wise.
Energy
Attributed Sayings and Wisdom Traditions
Not addressed as a distinct category.
Information
Attributed Sayings and Wisdom Traditions
Scribal wisdom conserved across generations; Imhotep's name survived two millennia.
Internal Tensions
Where each work's argument pulls against itself.
The fundamental tension: no authenticated text survives. The "work" is a tradition, not a text — raising the question of whether we are studying Imhotep or the idea of Imhotep.
