An estimate of humanity's collective consciousness field across eight thousand years — derived, era by era, from the dominant religion, political order, and economic system that actually governed most lives.
This is not a measurement of history. Each era's field is derived the same way the calibration tetrahedron works: choose the dominant worldview, political structure, and economic system of the age, calibrate each on the Hawkins Map, and take the root-mean-square. Because it is an RMS, a single low axis (conquest, slavery, ideology-as-religion) drags the whole field down — which is exactly the point. Every input is visible when you click an era, so you can argue with the calibrations rather than take them on faith. The line that results is not a smooth ascent: it climbs, collapses, and climbs again. Technological progress is not consciousness progress.
