ABOUT THE METRIC

The Serum Truce Metric is a two-dimensional schema that assays politico-medical dystopias by means of a rightist-leftist rhetoric spectrum. It is heavily premised on a quadricyclical framework and, all the more so, on a fraction of its own self — the neoteric notion of thought-grafting — as measured against the trends and vacuums of literature, the latter being the shock factor of medicine and surgery.
