Independence of the judiciary from executive and legislative encroachment. Specifically captures court-packing, selective prosecution, judicial reshuffles.
Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
Decreto 222/2003 of 19 June 2003 — self-limited presidential nominations via public consultation with academic/civil-society process. Pressured Menem-era packed Court majority to resign (Nazareno Jul 2003; Moliné O'Connor impeached Dec 2003; Boggiano Sep 2005; López Sep 2005; Vázquez Oct 2004). Court reduced from 9 back to 7 members (Ley 26.183, 2006). Credited as institutional strengthening.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
