Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each work's passages reveal about its stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Sargon Birth Legend and Chronicle
Linear and uni-directional: Sargon's rise is a one-way arc from foundling to world-conqueror.
Space
Sargon Birth Legend and Chronicle
Finite, three-dimensional, imperial: the four quarters and the seas define geographic extent.
Matter
Sargon Birth Legend and Chronicle
Not theorised; the basket of rushes sealed with bitumen is vivid material imagery but not philosophy.
Observer
Sargon Birth Legend and Chronicle
Sargon is the singular, embodied narrator of his own origins — the first autobiographer of conquest.
Energy
Sargon Birth Legend and Chronicle
Not addressed.
Information
Sargon Birth Legend and Chronicle
The birth legend and chronicle are explicit acts of information conservation for posterity.
Internal Tensions
Where each work's argument pulls against itself.
Legitimacy versus usurpation: the name "legitimate king" masks a seizure of power. The exposed-child motif inverts dynastic norms — obscure origins become proof of divine election.
