How Maria’s mind works — mapped across 12 dimensions

This mind develops ideas incrementally, step by step (bottom 8%), packs arguments at unusually high density (top 11%), and rarely appeals to external authority (bottom 12%).

Stylometric Provenance

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.
