TWO-AXIS READ
Ego: 0. Pervasiveness: none. Self-description as cute and pretty is playful; nobody appraised or diminished. Transcendence: 4. green-03 face-value romance; affection for his oddness. ADJACENT TIER CHECK (both Decent: blue and orange): blue-06 fires weakly: admits she would be sad if he left. Others do not. orange-05 does not: self-charm is playful, not superiority. orange-08 does not: he is liked for being weird and kind. Others do not. Adjacent tier: blue and orange enumerated, 1 fire Precedents: -28 (kept: same kind, party flirtation; this reads much lighter, no body-centred coding of a partner). Rejected: -24 (wallow, wrong kind). Center: 4

Dogma Reference
Dogma Reference is a metadata tag, not a charge modifier. It flags only when a specific doctrinal framework (Christian, Islamic, Karmic/Dharmic, Institutional) is load-bearing — when worshipping inside, proclaiming, or asserting that doctrine is what the song is for. Naming the sacred does not fire the tag, and neither does a passing scriptural allusion used to illustrate a point in an otherwise secular song. Doing the doctrine does.
Audience Vibe The crowd's needle. Readers vote on where this song's needle should sit, and the votes combine into one position that can drift at most 15 points from the compass degree. Where that needle lands against the compass is the finding.

Do you think it should stay where it is, or be pushed further in one direction?
How the Audience Vibe is calculated
The needle is the compass degree nudged by the crowd, never a raw tally. Every "push higher," "push lower," and "agree" vote is recombined into one position each time someone votes:
- Direction comes from the split. Only the gap between higher and lower votes moves the needle. "Agree" votes pull it back toward the compass degree.
- It takes a crowd. Early votes move it gently — a handful shifts it only a point or two. The more lopsided the crowd, the further it goes.
- It's capped. The audience can pull a song at most 15 points off the compass degree, either direction. No pile-on can push it past that.
So a single "push lower" on a song with few votes moves the needle a little (often a point or two), not all the way down — and it can never run away.

Audience Resonance
The compass reads the song; the Audience Vibe reads whether the crowd agrees. Audience Resonance reads something else: what the song actually did to the people who lived with it, and whether the lift it gave was real. See the whole map →
