15 on a scale of 0 (close) to 100 (far). Closer than 99.3% of all pairs.

These are profiles of the same family, a difference of 15 on the 0 to 100 scale. They differ little in what they value and in the rules they hold. Direct opposition appears on 2 dimensions and 9 differ in degree rather than direction. The sharpest split is Material Aspiration: Apartheid-era South Africa leans toward where Islamic State (ISIS) leans against. Both hold Security & Stability, Consent & Anti-Coercion, and 7 more as core commitments.

Clusters

Apartheid-era South AfricaExtractive Rule

Tradition & Continuity leads the elevations, with Authority & Hierarchy, Material Aspiration, and Security & Stability high beside it, while Knowledge & Truth and Care & Welfare are strongly depressed and the procedural Principles run low. Elevated Material Aspiration is the distinctive marker among the hierarchical clusters. What separates it from Mobilized Absolutism is degree: the depressions here are shallower and the elevations less extreme.

Islamic State (ISIS)Mobilized Absolutism

Knowledge & Truth and Care & Welfare show the deepest depressions in the collection, with the procedural Principles low beside them, while Authority & Hierarchy carries the single strongest elevation anywhere in it, joined by Assigned Groups, Security & Stability, and Community & Solidarity. Both sides of the pattern run to their extremes. That depth on both sides is what separates it from Extractive Rule.
