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
The Immeasurable Equation
Ancient Egyptian-mythological time; cosmic time; Black-historical present.
Space
The Immeasurable Equation
Egypt, Saturn, Black diaspora, cosmic spaces.
Matter
The Immeasurable Equation
Black bodies displaced on Earth; mythic angelic bodies.
Observer
The Immeasurable Equation
Sun Ra as cosmic-mythic prophet.
Energy
The Immeasurable Equation
Cosmic-musical energies.
Information
The Immeasurable Equation
Mythological-philosophical-musical equation.
Internal Tensions
Where each work's argument pulls against itself.
Eccentric persona has sometimes obscured serious philosophical content; scholarly engagement (Szwed, Lock, Womack) has restored his standing.
