Proclamation No. 2045 lifted martial law on 17 Jan 1981 after 8.5 years, replaced by Amendment No. 6 to the 1973 Constitution (ratified plebiscite April 1981) granting the President continued legislative powers 'whenever the regular legislative body fails or is unable to act adequately on any matter for any reason that in the President's judgment requires immediate action.' Functionally preserved authoritarian rule.
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.
