The Edition

Constitutive measurement: shows how DSM diagnostic criteria changes construct the phenomenon they claim to measure — same case, same symptoms, different edition, different verdict. A diff of a medical document reveals the social decision embedded in what appears to be a clinical fact.

This work ships as an interactive instrument, not a text — it has no README to mirror. Use it live in the lab (link above); its data and metadata live in the original repository.
