Proximity: Neighbors
21 on a scale of 0 (close) to 100 (far). Closer than 93% of all pairs.
These are close neighbors, a difference of 21 on the 0 to 100 scale. Their differences spread across both values and principles. Direct opposition appears on 2 dimensions, 4 differ in degree rather than direction, and on a single dimension one profile engages a question the other sets aside. The sharpest split is Nature & Intergenerational Stewardship: The Prince (Machiavelli) is indifferent where Brazilian Military Dictatorship stands in core opposition. Both hold Authority & Hierarchy, Security & Stability, and 5 more as core commitments.
Clusters
The Prince (Machiavelli)Pragmatic Achievement
Defined by elevated Evidence-Based Reasoning, with Achievement & Excellence, Material Aspiration, and Progress & Innovation running high alongside it. Sanctity & Transcendence and Tradition & Continuity sit low. The pattern is secular and outcome-focused: performance and evidence over inherited forms.
Brazilian Military DictatorshipExtractive 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.
