Tonal Map — The Classical Stoic System

 

Tonal Map — The Classical Stoic System

Functional clusters with a tonal character on each node. The cross-links below the tree show who leans on whom. Tonal descriptors are evocative, not definitional.

Three grounding relationships to C1–C6 are not interchangeable: evaluative-standard (measures against), subject (maps around), and inverted-basis (tests the negation). A finding labelled by C-number means different things across them. Two structural facts the map makes visible at a glance: the entire action axis rests on a single theorem, and the Six Commitments carry almost the whole audit layer alone.
