seal

seals are very wonderful because they show you exactly how a text behaves without needing to even look at it. they're still in their early phase, and i oddly slap my rating on top of them, but eventually you can learn based off the color and distribution pattern what type of text it is. obviously there aren't a lot of variations, but just enough to count. learning by shapes is easy too, for example this greenspan text is like a bird that's missing a leg, large wings but not a lot of horizontal shape, because it's referenced and framed well but hardly connects throughout its chapters.

01

score — honestly very rarely directly argued, largely qualitative social signaling; the verdict word sits under it.

02

form — one of ten shapes that try to map how the text behaves, drawn as the seal. a new seal is generated every time there's a difference in the exact metrics.

03

axes — five margins, fixed by form, an attempt at a new structuralism (i will explain more in the gamble in representation).

04

account — basically, what is it + how long did it take me to read and review + how did i feel?

05

facts — justified is short for "is this justified to exist in this form as philosophically significant?" and the usual answer is no.
