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.
Science and Hypothesis (La Science et l'hypothèse)
Poincaré's 1902 foundational text — conventionalism in geometry, intuitionism in arithmetic

Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each work's passages reveal about its stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Science and Hypothesis (La Science et l'hypothèse)
The conventional time of physical-mathematical framework choice.
Space
Science and Hypothesis (La Science et l'hypothèse)
The conventional space of geometry.
Matter
Science and Hypothesis (La Science et l'hypothèse)
The empirical-physical material.
Observer
Science and Hypothesis (La Science et l'hypothèse)
The convention-choosing physicist-mathematician.
Energy
Science and Hypothesis (La Science et l'hypothèse)
Energies of conventional choice and empirical inquiry.
Information
Science and Hypothesis (La Science et l'hypothèse)
Foundational conventionalist philosophy of science framework.
Internal Tensions
Where each work's argument pulls against itself.
Poincaré's conventionalism foundational for Vienna Circle (Carnap), and was profoundly influenced by Einstein's relativity.
