Philosophical Derivation System
Every one of the book's 197 formal elements, and the 394 derivations between them. Arrows run from premise to conclusion: from six postulates and twelve definitions, through the theorems, the four laws, and the bridge axioms, out to affects, ethics, political principles, and the corollaries that hang from them. Every edge is the one that element declares for itself in the text. Two readings: the layered view sorts by what kind of thing an element is, the radial view by how far it stands from the ground, with the seven underived elements at the center and one further derivation step per ring.
