Individual articles explore specific events, policies, and developments. Summa records what holds up after repetitionβ€”the patterns, principles, and provisional views that emerge from sustained engagement with public life across many domains. As our coverage accumulates, recurring themes refine these views. When new evidence contradicts them, we revise. This page makes the worldview explicit so it can be tested, refined, and held accountable.
