Cognitive Topology

How Boethius’s mind works — mapped across 12 dimensions

This mind builds from accumulated frameworks rather than axioms (bottom 0%), reasons from intuition and structure rather than data (bottom 0%), and grounds arguments in personal experience (top 4%).

Stylometric Provenance

Four stylometric instruments measuring how this prose patterns against an AI-generated baseline.

Each instrument measures one axis of stylistic distance from the LLM baseline (n=30). Larger values mean the prose sits further from the baseline centroid. The composite weights function-word distribution at 0.5, the others at 0.2 / 0.2 / 0.1.
