Focus

This is a FRAMEWORK study, not an evidence study. The question is: what is historicism as a SYSTEM — the hermeneutical logic, the narrative arc, the christological center, and how all the pieces fit together? Why does the evidence tally (38 I-A, 0 I-D, 0 constraints, 0 I-B against) fall the way it does? What structural features of the HIST framework produce these results?

Series Context

This is dan3-31 in a 35-study series. The prior 31 studies classified 399 evidence items across three positions. This study zooms out from details to framework.
