Clusters

Stalin-era USSRMobilized 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.

Maoist ChinaTransformative Command

Its loudest feature is a floor across the procedural Principles: Rule of Law & Consistency, Transparency & Honesty, Inclusiveness & Pluralism, and Non-Maleficence all strongly depressed, with Authority & Hierarchy elevated. Existing constraints give way to directed change.
