Direct Deployed Views

Summary

This release makes the atlas's executable lever crosswalk, GDP regression, eta, uncertainty, source datasets, and known limitations directly inspectable in both the HTML atlas and print ebook.

Highlights

  • Nine dedicated lever records expose global annual capital exclusions, source variables, thresholds, proxy choices, and caveats.
  • Defines the NCM Isolated Entity as the focal country-year analytical unit, not a V-Dem field or a claim that countries are causally isolated.
  • Discloses proxy reuse in the released component data: levers 3 and 6 use v2clkill; levers 4 and 7 use v2xcl_acjst.
  • Reports the canonical population-weighted model: n=187, eta=0.305, robust p=0.00568, weighted R2=0.252, with the operational coefficient rounded to 0.30.
  • Separates the strong cross-sectional GDP-level association from the non-significant 2023-2024 current-US$ growth check (R2=0.004, p=0.207).
  • Adds official V-Dem and World Bank WDI guidance, distinguishing the published Full+Others v15 score source from the current v16 update workflow and documenting the missing source checksum as a replication boundary.
  • Updates the Eurozone report and embeds its 27 pages after nation profiles and before evidence/data pages.
  • Regenerated the complete 278-page ebook; page 8 retains the $15.87T global total.

Release Asset

The release intentionally contains only RTLDI_ATLAS_2026_ebook.pdf. The standalone modular and Eurozone PDFs remain reproducible repository build artifacts, not release attachments.
