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.
Our Mathematical Universe
Tegmark's 2014 foundational text — the Mathematical Universe Hypothesis (MUH) and four-level multiverse

Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each work's passages reveal about its stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Our Mathematical Universe
The mathematical-multiverse time across levels.
Space
Our Mathematical Universe
The mathematical-multiverse space across levels.
Matter
Our Mathematical Universe
Mathematics-as-reality.
Observer
Our Mathematical Universe
The mathematical-Platonist cosmological observer.
Energy
Our Mathematical Universe
Mathematical-structural energies.
Information
Our Mathematical Universe
Central — mathematics as the fundamental information.
Internal Tensions
Where each work's argument pulls against itself.
