Geographic Universality and Graduated Role-Similarity Mesoamerican, Tibetan, and Mandaean Traditions in the Emanation Topology Corpus (25 Traditions)

**Purpose.** This study extends the emanation topology corpus from 22 to 25 traditions and
introduces a graduated 9x9 role-similarity matrix replacing the binary (0/1) role-substitution
cost used in all prior work packages. Three traditions were selected to test geographic
universality: Aztec Five Suns (Mesoamerican Postclassic), Tibetan Dzogchen Trikaya
(Nyingma Buddhist), and Mandaean Ginza Rba (Mesopotamian Aramaic). The study tests
five predictions: (i) that the two-family attractor remains stable at 25 traditions; (ii) that
Dzogchen converges on the minimal process-cosmogony attractor alongside Plotinian,
Taoist, and Vedic traditions despite zero historical contact; (iii) that the graduated
role-similarity matrix increases pairwise discrimination; (iv) that both Mesoamerican
traditions in the corpus (Popol Vuh and Aztec Five Suns) classify as branching trees but with
radically different structural profiles; and (v) that the Mandaean Ginza confirms the pattern
whereby dualistic cosmologies produce branching trees.
