Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
Eight-question referendum called by President Lasso covering extradition of nationals, security reforms, political-party financing, restructuring of the CPCCS, and elimination of autonomous water authority. All eight questions were rejected by voters (no-vote range ~51-59%). Political effect: loss of the Lasso government's reformist agenda and acceleration of impeachment politics.
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.
