Multiple world traditions prescribe bounded corporal correction within specific parameters
Evidence
The comparison matters because it establishes a cross-civilizational pattern: the Hindu Manusmṛti, the Islamic Iḥyāʾ ʿUlūm al-Dīn, the Russian Orthodox Domostroi, and the broader Christian Reformation-era pedagogical literature all prescribe bounded corporal correction within specific operational parameters. The parameters vary. The bounded structure is common. — , The Rod and the Child, 3770
