Trace the composition of a single text by
measurement. A work becomes an ordered
sequence of
loci; a feature × locus
matrix is measured across it; adjacent-locus
discontinuities are read as candidate
composition seams, then weighed against competing models
of composition. Two cases stand side by side — the
Milindapañha (transmission, translation,
stratification) and the
Iliad (oral composition, continuity, contested unity). A discontinuity is
not an attribution.
