René Girard: Literary anthropology / mimetic theory
This Canonical Axiom Matrix establishes the structural invariant for René Girard within the sovereign Universal Library architecture, operating under the tradition of Literary anthropology / mimetic theory.
1.1 Core Axiom & Foundation
The Core Axiom: "All desire is mimetic (triangulated through a model); mimetic rivalry escalates toward collective violence resolved by the scapegoat mechanism; the Gospel historically exposes and dismantles this machinery."
1.2 Primary Texts & Corpus
The foundational source texts governing this framework comprise: Violence and the Sacred;Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World;I See Satan Fall Like Lightning.
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
Unmasks the hidden violent mechanics behind mass social movements, cancel culture, and ideological contagion; the architectural filter detecting mimetic cascades.
2.2 Coordinate Mapping in the Sovereign Stack
| Matrix Dimension | Universal Library Coordinate | Functional Operation |
