Ivan Illich: Catholic social criticism / radical philosophy
This Canonical Axiom Matrix establishes the structural invariant for Ivan Illich within the sovereign Universal Library architecture, operating under the tradition of Catholic social criticism / radical philosophy.
1.1 Core Axiom & Foundation
The Core Axiom: "Modern institutions reach a tipping point where they produce the opposite of their stated purpose (iatrogenesis); professionalized disabling monopolies replace vernacular competence; corruption of the best becomes the worst."
1.2 Primary Texts & Corpus
The foundational source texts governing this framework comprise: Deschooling Society;Tools for Conviviality;Medical Nemesis.
Within the Universal Dynamics coordinate geometry (x_0 -> x -> y -> z), this matrix fulfills a vital operational and diagnostic role across the sovereign stack.
2.1 System Rationale
Diagnoses how institutional scaling and professionalization create systemic counterproductivity; indispensable for a sovereign architecture refusing institutional capture.
2.2 Coordinate Mapping in the Sovereign Stack
