The CDA runs provide a direct answer, and it is not the group most people would expect.

The question has two parts that need to be distinguished. Most opposed in terms of displacement profile — which domain shows the highest number of counter-commitments operative at High confidence. And most opposed in terms of the depth of the displacement — which domain’s absorption of counter-commitments is most structurally complete and self-reinforcing.

On both measures, the answer is the same: Run 1 — the post-2010 institutional progressive domain.

The Displacement Profile Across All Five Runs

Run 1 — Systemic Displacement. C1 High, C2 High, C3 High, C4 High, C5 Partial, C6 High. Five counter-commitments at High, one at Partial.

Run 3 — Systemic Displacement. C1 High, C2 Partial, C3 High, C4 High, C5 Partial, C6 High. Four counter-commitments at High, two at Partial.

Run 2 — Partial Displacement. C4 High only. Three Partial, two Low.

Run 4 — Partial Displacement. C2 High only. Three Partial, two Low.

Run 5 — Partial Displacement at lower boundary. Two Partial, four Low.

Run 1 is the only domain that reaches High on C1 and C2 simultaneously — the combination the instrument identified as producing the most architecturally complete displacement, the one in which the rational agent as the corpus understands him is absent as an operative category. Not merely constrained. Not merely challenged. Absent. The prohairēsis has no structural location in the framework Run 1 has absorbed.

Run 3 comes close but does not reach the same depth because its C2 finding is only Partial — the residual genius mythology preserves a thin space for individual rational origination that Run 1’s framework has closed.

The Deeper Answer

The raw profile numbers tell part of the story. The structural analysis tells the rest.

Run 1 is most opposed to the six commitments not merely because it has displaced the most of them at High confidence, but because the counter-commitments it has absorbed form a mutually reinforcing and self-enclosed system. C1 and C2 together remove the rational agent. C3 removes objective moral facts accessible to that agent. C4 removes correspondence truth that the agent could track. C6 removes the epistemic foundations from which the agent could reason. The five High findings do not sit alongside each other independently — they constitute a framework in which every classical commitment is structurally blocked by the others. Restoring any single classical commitment within the domain would require challenging the others simultaneously, because they are mutually load-bearing.

This is what makes Run 1 qualitatively different from Runs 4 and 5, which also show significant displacement. Antifa’s C2 High finding is load-bearing for its tactical architecture, but C5 and C6 remain operative — the domain still holds objective moral facts and foundational claims. The displacement is real and significant but it is not self-enclosed. A crack exists through which the classical commitments could enter. Run 1’s framework has no equivalent crack. The C5 Partial finding — the asymmetric deployment of moral subjectivism — is the closest thing to an internal incoherence that could serve as an entry point, and the instrument noted it as such. But asymmetric deployment is itself a pre-argumentative absorption — it is not a conscious philosophical position that could be engaged directly.

The Irony the Corpus Would Note

Run 1 is the domain that most loudly affirms human dignity, the importance of lived experience, the reality of injustice, and the moral obligation to act. It sincerely holds these commitments at the level of stated doctrine. But at the pre-argumentative level — the level at which the CDA operates — it has absorbed a framework in which the person whose dignity is affirmed does not exist as a rational agent, the experience whose authority is elevated is constituted by external forces rather than apprehended by a distinct rational faculty, the injustice whose reality is proclaimed cannot be grounded in objective moral facts that the displaced C3 and C5 findings would require, and the obligation to act cannot be located in a self that the displaced C1 and C2 findings have removed.

The domain most committed to human dignity at the level of explicit doctrine is, at the pre-argumentative level, the domain that has most thoroughly dismantled the philosophical architecture that makes human dignity intelligible.

That is the CDA’s finding. It is not a political verdict. It is a structural observation about what the domain has absorbed without examination.
