Proximity: Same family
13 on a scale of 0 (close) to 100 (far). Closer than 99.7% of all pairs.
These are profiles of the same family, a difference of 13 on the 0 to 100 scale. They differ little in what they value and in the rules they hold. Direct opposition appears on 1 dimension and 5 differ in degree rather than direction. The sharpest split is Achievement & Excellence: Islamic State (ISIS) leans toward where Taliban Afghanistan strongly opposes. Both hold Authority & Hierarchy, Consent & Anti-Coercion, and 13 more as core commitments.
Clusters
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.
Taliban AfghanistanExtractive 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.
