Tests geographic universality in three traditions, demonstrating a novel role-similarity matrix for analysis.
**Purpose.** This study extends the emanation topology corpus from 22 to 25 traditions andintroduces a graduated 9x9 role-similarity matrix replacing the binary (0/1) role-substitutioncost used in all prior work packages. Three traditions were selected to test geographicuniversality: Aztec Five Suns (Mesoamerican Postclassic), Tibetan Dzogchen Trikaya(Nyingma Buddhist), and Mandaean Ginza Rba (Mesopotamian Aramaic). The study testsfive predictions: (i) that the two-family attractor remains stable at 25 traditions; (ii) thatDzogchen converges on the minimal process-cosmogony attractor alongside Plotinian,Taoist, and Vedic traditions despite zero historical contact; (iii) that the graduatedrole-similarity matrix increases pairwise discrimination; (iv) that both Mesoamericantraditions in the corpus (Popol Vuh and Aztec Five Suns) classify as branching trees but withradically different structural profiles; and (v) that the Mandaean Ginza confirms the patternwhereby dualistic cosmologies produce branching trees.
