🎭 Sentiment Map

The emotional weather of the world's scriptures — how hopeful, awe-struck, sorrowful, or fierce each tradition's texts feel, mapped across all 260 books.

How this is measured (honestly): a first-pass, lexicon-based reading of each book's tone tags and plain-language summaries — a proxy for the text's felt sentiment, not yet the full scripture. It will deepen once the complete texts are indexed. Values are relative across this collection.
