Ask in your own words

The four recorded conversations below, one question each: the model reads it and chooses where to look.

Answers come from the model of the text, not pastoral or legal advice.

Change one fact, watch the answer

Worked cases. Every position of a switch is a registered case answered by two independent evaluators.

Is this defence licit?A traveler, a household at night, a soldier, a prince. Whether the measure of defence is on the file, and whether the prince's intention is right, changes the answer. The page does not decide what Thomas leaves to practical judgment.

Read the text with the model beside it

For those whose question is whether the model is faithful to the Latin, and where it names a boundary instead of a rule.

ReaderThe pinned Latin of the Leonine edition. Highlighted passages are the norms of the model. Corpus Thomisticum is named as the channel of the text, not as an affiliation.

Ask in plain words

Recorded conversations. The model reads the question and chooses where to look; every answer, every refusal and every hash comes from the engine.

Recorded dialoguesAn invented predicate refused; a traveler's licit defence; the measure left to practical judgment; a prince whose intention is vicious.
