Key Observations

E-tier (Explicit Statements): 513 total

• Continues: 146 — Statements directly quoting or paraphrasing verses that use law-continuation vocabulary applied to the moral law/Decalogue, or that distinguish between categories of law
• Abolished: 0 — No explicit statement in the database directly states the moral law (Decalogue) was abolished
• Neutral: 367 — Factual textual observations both sides accept, plus ceremonial/civil cessation items

N-tier (Necessary Implications): 145 total

• Continues: 73 — Unavoidable logical entailments from E-items that support moral law continuation
• Abolished: 0 — No necessary implication in the database supports moral law abolition
• Neutral: 72 — Factual patterns and observations that follow from E-items without positional direction

I-tier (Inferences): 152 total

• I-A (Evidence-Extending): 66 — 63 Continues, 0 Abolished, 3 Neutral
• I-B (Competing-Evidence): 47 — 18 Continues, 22 Abolished, 7 Neutral
• I-C (Compatible External): 5 — 1 Continues, 1 Abolished, 3 Neutral
• I-D (Counter-Evidence External): 34 — 0 Continues, 34 Abolished, 0 Neutral

Distribution Pattern

• All Abolished-direction items are at inference tier (I-B or I-D)
• The Continues position has E-tier, N-tier, I-A, I-B, and I-C support
• The Abolished position has only I-B and I-D support (plus 1 I-C)
• 34 of 57 Abolished items (60%) are I-D (counter-evidence external — requiring override of E/N statements)
