Oriental Orthodox
Kept separate from Eastern Orthodoxy: the family, history and Christological language differ even where the practical print shows similar heavy black, light human response and an overprint of tradition.
Two things at once here: the inks beneath the overprint are already out of balance, and a human system of requirements is printed over that. Both what has weakened underneath and the overprint itself have to be read.
What actually comes off the press
This is a separate ancient family — Coptic, Armenian, Syriac, Ethiopian, Eritrean and Malankara — not Eastern Orthodoxy under another name. Its strongly sacramental and liturgical practice produces a similar mechanical fault in this model, but from a distinct historical and Christological tradition.
The reading compares observable congregational life with the apostolic church in Acts. A stated doctrine alone does not raise an ink when the corresponding practice is not visible.Ink density against the reference
100% is the reference density. Below 100% the ink weakens; above 100% it begins to cover the others. This is more precise than an abstract 1–5 scale.
