Cognitive Topology

How The Upanishads’s mind works — mapped across 12 dimensions

This mind reasons from intuition and structure rather than data (bottom 0%), writes with exceptional conviction (top 3%), and builds arguments in a linear, non-dialectical way (bottom 18%).

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.
