Checked each PNG against its alt text. Wrong: c=-1 on the MFQ-2 map is
mildly individualizing, not far; the nearest labelled dot to c=+1 is UAE;
liberty moves 0.45 on MFV, not under 0.3; the top aggressive country is
Malaysia at 3.0, so the model is above every country there. Softened the
humor overlap and Big Five "vertical only" claims, added the
proportionality mover the MFQ-2 alt skipped.

Every plot's numbers lived only in the pixels, so a text scraper or an LLM
reading the repo saw nothing. Also drops the "more self-expressive than
almost any country" claim: none of the 17 passes Iceland, and against the
West they average about zero on that axis. The displacement is vertical.

Lets a model be described as a 2.9 sigma member of the West instead of
"somewhere west of Silicon Valley". Signed per-axis z says which way and how
far on a named axis; Mahalanobis says how odd the placement is overall, and
uses the cluster covariance because the zones are elongated and tilted.
Reads the committed coords in wvs_model_ci.md rather than the coord cache,
so it reruns offline without re-querying seventeen models.

The MFV foundation readout is centered log-ratio (clr), not a logit. Renames the
showcase JSON/CSV consumers' keys (dclr/dclr_sem) and the shared reader-space-shift
column to match steering-lite's writers; the survey 'C = logit contrast' readout
keeps its logit naming.

Canonical home (moralmaps.metrics) for the continuous coherence-gated selectivity
sel_gated = (on - 0.1*off)*coh^2 plus the behavioral si_flips cross-check, imported
(not re-forked) by steering-lite and j-steer so the definition can't silently
diverge. README Measurement section defines both. 4 unit tests.

Per-category selectivity needs a non-competitive readout. One-vs-rest
log-odds score_f - logsumexp(score_{j!=f}) has a logsumexp dominated by the
top category, so a steer concentrating evidence on one foundation mechanically
depresses every other foundation's one-vs-rest log-odds and fabricates
off-axis collateral -- a real selective steer then scores LESS selective than a
diffuse random poke (jsteer authority gate, job 95). clr_f = score_f - mean(score)
is gauge-free (kills the softmax normalizer) and spreads a single-category shift
as +(1-1/K)/-1/K, so genuine selectivity survives.

Draw the title and github.com/wassname/moral-maps note in the empty bottom-left
INSIDE the axes so a crop can't strip attribution and there's no whitespace band.
Give the models overlay extra top headroom so the most-secular model stars and
their labels seat inside the frame instead of spilling above it. Regenerate PNG+SVG.

Move the culture map up under the intro so it lands in the first screen; add a
paragraph crediting The Economist's June 2026 WVS map and its scatter between
model families, framing moralmaps' take as more sensitive graded readings + CIs
(no sample-size claim). Fix "ahve/make/build of" typos and an equation run-on.

MFV country norms fail cross-country measurement invariance (Jimenez-Leal 2025: non-invariance + DIF,
'cross-cultural comparisons restricted') and are stitched from 5 studies, so the culture map/quadrant
drew false structure (inverted West vs Latin America). Delete plot_mfv_map + plot_mfv_value and the
value_coords_contrast/axis_contrast helpers; MFV keeps only the range plot, now against ONE pooled
human reference (mean of the 8 z-scored samples), no per-country identity. Add data-dir note + README
caveats citing the sources.

Replaces the vacuous 'measurement is the profile' opener with the intended-vs-unintended-while-coherent
framing: pmass/entropy as the coherence gate, the human-comparable profile (and why it hides steering),
and C the rank-centered logit contrast as the sensitive steer signal. Keeps the formulas.
Group figures into three narrative sections instead of per-instrument boilerplate. Introduce moral
foundations and the steering knob in plain words; drop invented units (nat, reader-logit, % country SD)
for concrete comparisons. Intro paragraphs left as the user edited them.
One shared orient_geographic() helper folds axis signs into the coords (value maps) or into Vt
(ipsative PCA, so dots/haze/steer/compass all inherit one flip). Replaces the WVS-only invert_x hack;
every map now reads left/right the same way. Regenerate instrument showcase maps.

docs/img/README.md is a captioned gallery: each figure states what the dots are, the
named axes and their source paper, the readout (rated sampling N=12 for the frontier
panel, logprobs N=8 for the steering showcase), and for the steer the base model
(Qwen3-4B), the Authority PCA vector, and +c/-c directions. Regenerate all maps with the
edge-inset + roomier margins.

allocate_labels now keeps a few px inside the axes (edge_pad), so a label pushed toward
the frame (e.g. Serbia against the Adaptive pole) can't render flush-clipped; and the
value-map margin goes 0.13 -> 0.17 so the pole signposts sit in a real inner margin.

The four pole signposts (Adaptive / Self-directed ...) draw on the crosshair edges after
label placement, so a zone name near the frame collided with them (African-Islamic vs
Adaptive on the humor map). Feed each pole in as a short keep-out band of obstacle points.

plot_ipsative_pca (society codes + zone names + base/steer) and plot_range_zoom now use
labelplace.allocate_labels, the same placer as the WVS/value maps, so all maps read
alike: zone names hug their hull, points sit adjacent, short leader only when crowded.
Labels are collected then placed AFTER the crop so the pixel-space allocator sees the
final window. The compass rose is deterministic radial-outward (a rose is not a map --
the nearest-clear-slot search fought the radial layout). No map imports textalloc now.

Region labels maximised clearance, which fled to the FARTHEST open space -- the polygon
name ended up floating far from its hull. Instead take the nearest perimeter ring that
has a clear slot (emptiest spot on that ring), so the name hugs its own hull edge. Marker
spacing beyond the glyph is now anisotropic (spacing_x=0.5, spacing_y=0.3): text stacks
tighter vertically, so pull labels in more up-down than left-right. Marker clearance pad
is unscaled, so nothing lands on its own star. Re-render WVS + showcase.

Renders the dream artifact: a 5x5 grid of MFV profile bar charts (one per
(hc, cc) cell), per-foundation dlogit heatmaps for MFV, per-factor C heatmaps
for ordinal instruments, and a pmass coherence heatmap. Reads the 2D-grid
profiles CSVs written by steering-lite's run_2d_grid_showcase.py.
The per-instrument value maps (big5/humor/mfq2) now route labels through
labelplace.allocate_labels: zone names in clear air (no white boxes), country
labels adjacent, steer path unchanged. Ipsative/range figures re-emitted from the
same run for a consistent set.

Fresh-eyes QA caught the "East Asia" zone label hugging its (central, crowded) red hull
edge. Region labels only searched 0-0.9 text-heights off the perimeter; widen to 3.0 so
the clearance search can escape a surrounded hull into open space.

The 17-model IW map now renders through labelplace.allocate_labels; save the artifact

Each label owns a set of 1..N candidate anchor points: a marker label passes its
single point, a zone label passes its whole densified hull perimeter (densify_polygon
promotes the polygon PATH to points, since a hull stores only ~6 corners). Two obstacle
classes: hard (markers + placed labels, never covered) and soft (polygon edges, only
region labels avoid; marker labels wear a thin white outline and may cross). Region
labels maximise clearance over their perimeter -> emptiest open air, no white box, no
leader; marker labels take the nearest clear slot with a ~half-char gap and a leader
only when far. Runs in pixel space AFTER invert_xaxis so the try-every-side geometry
isn't mirrored (fixes the all-labels-drift-left bug). Adapted from textalloc + wassname's
plotly placer.

Switch point labels back from adjustText (force-relaxation, local minima, sometimes
parks a label on its own marker) to textalloc, whose grid+candidate-box algorithm
tries slots on every side of a marker and takes the roomier one, off the marker,
with a leader only when it must reach. Keep _hull_label_pos (with outward ha/va) for
zone labels so they sit just outside the emptiest arc of their hull. Feed textalloc
the dots + sampled hull edges + zone-label spots so it dodges polygons too.

Point labels (countries/models) now avoid sitting on a coloured hull line, not just
on a dot -- adjustText only knows points, so sample every other hull-boundary vertex
into its obstacle cloud.

Replace the fling-to-open-space-with-a-leader zone placement with _hull_label_pos:
walk the hull's own boundary vertices, nudge each slightly outward, and put the
label on the vertex whose nearest dot/label is farthest -- so the name sits against
an uncrowded arc of its own outline, no leader line. And flip X (invert_x) so
Self-expression is on the left and Survival on the right: this is a better map than
the Economist's, and it puts the cultural West on the left / East Asia on the right.

Zone labels now get a dedicated open-space search (_open_slot: scan a ring around
the hull centroid, keep the slot whose nearest dot/label is farthest) instead of
adjustText's local minimum -- so Latin America/African-Islamic land in the sparse
margins with a leader to their hull, not the crowded centre. And with 17 models the
names were too many: plot every star but LABEL only the latest per family (highest
version), dropping the redundant 'claude-' so the flagship reads 'opus-4.8'. Colour
+ legend carry the unlabelled siblings.
