Analysis Projects test where Resilient Objectivism actually lands — comparing it to the moral and political architectures civilization has already built, applying it to real institutions and the people who shaped them, reading it through culture's own moral simulators, and running it out into territory no one has had to theorize yet.
Where the phased content builds the system, Analysis Projects put it under load. Each project is a stand-alone line of inquiry — the comparisons aren't offered to prove RO right; they're offered to show where it holds, where it doesn't, and why.
The posture is comparative-diagnostic. These projects test. They don't advocate.
Change Log
- 30 Aug 26 — revised: removed (RSS-accuracy retrofit) -- no genuinely substantive edit exists in this file's history since 14 August 2026; every prior post-publication entry is administrative (readability trims, front-matter retrofit, filename/case fixes, pure reorganization with no lost content).
- 16 Aug 26 — Removed the "Browse by Bin" list from this page. Each bin now carries its own description as that file's
thesis:, which is what the Projects contents list is built from — so the five bins are named, described, and linked one level up, where the reader arrives. The list here was a second copy kept in step by hand, and an unlinked one. No text was lost: the descriptions moved into(P1)–(P5)as theirthesis:, in the Projects Roadmap's own wording. - 14 Aug 26 — Initial post. Replaces "Projects — The Lens of Civilization" (Dec 25 draft, archived), which had doubled as both the reader-facing landing page and the internal project index. Split apart: this page follows Field Notes' reader-facing landing pattern; the internal index is the Analysis Projects Roadmap, which now lives in
! administrativealongside the other master roadmaps.
