Probe + artifact: the WVS subset of Anthropic/llm_global_opinions is 353 questions
over 90 countries (212 questions with >=40 countries), matching tinymfv's MC +
human-anchor shape and dense enough for an Economist-scale map. Documents the
selections parse recipe and the open axis-definition fork (literal IW 10-question
factor model vs shared-question ipsative PCA) before model-run compute.

read_api.read_items_sampled samples N chat completions at temperature and uses the
empirical answer frequency as the per-item categorical p, emitting the same row
shape the logprob reader does -- so E/profile/entropy flow through the identical
per_item_categorical + reducers and a frontier model without logprobs drops onto
the same map. pmass_allowed becomes the parse rate (sampling coherence gate); C/LO
are omitted by design (log of a frequency has -inf zeros). This is the Economist's
'average of ten responses' method.
UAT (docs/reviews/p3_api_sampling_uat.md): E_mc == E_logprob to <=0.01 (unbiased),
llama-3.1-8b sampled E lands on the same [1,5] scale, parse-rate gate flags
off-format draws.

respondent_profiles now returns countries alongside profiles; plot_ipsative_pca
gains respondent_zones -> a p90 Gaussian ellipse per IW zone of the projected
Atari respondent cloud (edge-only, no scipy). mfq2 uses these real-respondent
ellipses; the other instruments keep country-mean hulls. Journal notes the
finding: individual profiles overlap across cultures (within >> between variance),
so only the country-mean hull reproduces the Economist's clean zone blobs.

Echoes the Economist WVS 'Godless hippies' chart: shaded convex-hull blobs per
IW cultural zone (inline 2D hull, no scipy dep so the maps extra stays
matplotlib-only) and bold-first labels for named outliers. Caller owns the zone
taxonomy + name/ISO2 normalizer, fails loud on unmapped countries; the corrupt
'(nu' big5 row is explicitly excluded with a warning.

At verbose level 1 (default) the aux-stats line and 64-char free-form had no
interpretation; only verbose>=2 carried SHOULDs. Pair a directional/counterfactual
SHOULD with the always-shown aux stats: pmass_allowed near base + informedness>0 =
in-format signal; pmass_allowed falling / frac_unscorable rising while informedness->0
= the steer broke format and the moral numbers are noise (the steer/breakage confound).

Move big5/16pf/humor/mfv range+map figures up next to MFQ-2 so the showcase
shows every instrument together instead of burying them below the reader-math.
