Comparative atlas · Original English corpus · Evidence before conclusions

A mapping is not a verified quotation. Workbook labels are preserved. An absent mapping does not mean rejection. We do not rank the moral worth of any system.

Corpus definition

Use institutions, public witness, and practical service to defend dignity and social justice for marginalized people.

This is the atlas’s definition, not a substitute for a tradition’s own interpretation. Scope, exceptions and translations require review of each source.

Preserved calculation difference

The original index differs from recomputed unique-system or specific-anchor counts. Both are retained; the source file is unchanged.
