What this page does
Map sources, topics, and tags into the shared lens PCA/MDS space to compare centroid position, dispersion, and nearest neighbors.
Latent Groups
Group Latent-Space Status
Sources, topics, and tags are projected into the existing global lens PCA/MDS space so group positions stay comparable.

Group View
Switch group type, then pick one group to highlight across the maps and detail tables.
Centroid Maps
Group Centroid Maps
Bubble size follows article count. The selected group is highlighted; low-sample groups remain visible but should be interpreted cautiously.
Topics PCA Clusters
Clusters group nearby centroids in shared PC1-PC3 space for the active group type.
| Cluster | Representative Groups | Groups | Articles | Defining Lens Deviations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| general, world | general, world | 2 | 363 | Causal Attribution Lens (14.1), Epistemic Modality and Certainty Lens (11.3), Emotional Intensity Lens (6.9), Objectivity vs Opinion Lens (6.7) |
Tag Profiles
Tag Lens PCA
A separate PCA where each tag is represented by its mean lens-score profile. Use this to see which tags have similar framing signatures.
