The two-family cluster classification is a research finding, not a
diagnostic; embedding it in the tool caused recurring bugs:
- ascii_bicorder.py had an inverted LDA sign (institutional mapped to 9,
not 1) and a stale term check ('bureaucratic') that silently disabled
the calculation after the Feb 2026 rename — output was always null
- The web app and Python script had divergent sign conventions and
divergent version-mismatch behavior (skip vs. continue with stale model)
Changes:
- bicorder.json: drop the formal/informal analysis gradient; version 1.3.0
- ascii_bicorder.py: remove all LDA/model machinery; keep hardness and
polarization as the only automated analyses
- App.svelte: remove classifier import, model constant, LDA calculation,
and form-recommendation reactive block; dispatch automated analyses by
term_left instead of array index
- Delete bicorder-classifier.ts and FormRecommendation.svelte (the latter
was imported but never rendered)
- AnalysisTransitionBanner: remove recommendation alert and prop; fix
hardcoded index checks that referenced the removed gradient
- vite.config.ts / vite-env.d.ts: stop loading bicorder_model.json
The cluster classifier lives on as research in analysis/ (scripts and
model untouched there). bicorder.txt regenerated.

|
|
| Term | Description |
|
|
| -------------- | ----------- |
|
|
| abstract | Participants learn the protocol by studying it intellectually |
|
|
| alive | Actively utilized by relevant participants |
|
|
| centrist | The analyst tended toward readings at the middle of the gradients |
|
|
| contested | Content or meaning are disputed or under debate |
|
|
| crystallized | Content or meaning are settled and widely agreed upon |
|
|
| dead | Not actively utilized by relevant participants |
|
|
| defensible | Strong boundaries and protections against external influence |
|
|
| documenting | Intended to document or validate activity that is occurring |
|
|
| durable | Designed to be persistently available |
|
|
| embodied | Participants learn the protocol by physically practicing it |
|
|
| emergent | Produces unexpected or novel outcomes |
|
|
| enabling | Intended to enable activity that might not happen otherwise |
|
|
| enforced | Rules require external enforcement by authorities or institutions |
|
|
| ephemeral | Designed to vanish when no longer needed |
|
|
| exclusion | Creates barriers or excludes certain participants |
|
|
| explicit | Design is stated explicitly somewhere that is accessible to participants |
|
|
| exposed | Weak boundaries and vulnerable to external influence |
|
|
| flocking | Coordination occurs through centralized direction or direct mimicry |
|
|
| hardness | The protocol tends toward properties characterized by hardness |
|
|
| implicit | Design is not stated explicitly and is learned by use |
|
|
| inclusion | Reduces barriers and includes diverse participants |
|
|
| institutional | Design occurs through processes controlled by particular institutions |
|
|
| interpretive | Ambiguous design, allowing participants a wide range of interpretation |
|
|
| liberating | Enables participants to carry out desired activities with less work or thought |
|
|
| limited | Does not, on its own, adequately meet the needs and goals of participants |
|
|
| macro | Operates at large scales involving many participants or broad scope |
|
|
| malleable | Designed to be changed by participants according to evolving needs |
|
|
| micro | Operates at small scales with few participants or narrow scope |
|
|
| monopolistic | Excludes the use of other protocols with similar purposes |
|
|
| not useful | The bicorder was not useful or relevant for analyzing this protocol |
|
|
| obligatory | Compulsory participation for a certain class of agents |
|
|
| particular | Tailored for a specific community |
|
|
| pluralistic | Interoperates with other protocols and does not exclude their use |
|
|
| polarized | The analyst tended toward more extreme high or low readings |
|
|

|
|
| predictable | Produces expected and consistent outcomes |
|
|
| restraining | Fosters experiences of absurd complexity, alienation, and powerlessness |
|
|
| self-enforcing | Rules automatically enforced through its own mechanisms |
