Getting Started with the Semantic Map
A short walkthrough for selecting countries, reading point clusters, and understanding what semantic proximity means in practice.
What the map is actually showing
Each point in the 3D canvas stands for one constitutional article or a similar legal unit. Nearby points are not grouped by country first; they are grouped by semantic similarity.
That means the best way to start is not to load everything at once. Select one or two countries and watch how their articles spread across the same global semantic space.
A simple first workflow
Pick one country as your anchor and add a second country for contrast. This keeps the canvas legible and makes the first clusters easier to interpret.
- Open the atlas in your locale and select one country on the map.
- Add a second country with a different constitutional tradition.
- Look for dense regions before opening any article details.
- Switch color mode between countries and global clusters.
