Geometria Iuris — Chapter 3 companion dashboard

A reading aid to the dissertation

Welcome

A companion to Chapter 3 of Geometria Iuris: Measuring Legal Meaning Across Cultural Normative Structures in Embedding Spaces (LUISS, Methodology of Legal Science). The dashboard mirrors the thesis section by section; every quantity on these pages comes from §3.1, §3.2 or §4 of the dissertation, and is named with the same notation.

The thesis asks a single question (§1.5): is legal meaning susceptible to measurement? The cross-tradition design that organises the empirical chapters is the test bench of the instrument, not its purpose; the question is methodological, not comparative.
