Four Ratios of the Seba Method

The Four Ratios is a Peterson-formulated framework within the Seba Method. Ratio preserves its medieval breadth — measure, proportion, principle of relation — and the four ratios name four distinct modes of measure the soul keeps available. The first of the four, ratio-matris (the reason of the mother), is treated in this recon. The remaining three are framework-internal to the Seba Method and will be elaborated in companion recons; they are not derivable from the library and so are not anticipated here.

The framework is constructive, not developmental. The four ratios are co-present modes of cognition rather than stages on a hierarchy; the soul does not graduate from one to the next but sustains all four as different ways of taking measure.

This node exists as a structural anchor: every individual ratio node points back to it, and the framework as such will be filled out as its other ratios are written.
