Modern Buddhism combines Western principles and functions with some Buddhist elements. Since its core is largely 1800s German philosophy, it is does not fit into any of the traditional yanas. Several major Buddhist sects developed modern versions though.https://vividness.live/2011/06/16/the-making-of-buddhist-modernism/ …
Well, different systems often have different metrics. For example, most of traditional Buddhism has as its goal eliminating desire, because that’s what causes you to be reborn, which is bad, and being a Buddha means desirelessness.

Definitely agreed on different metrics, ontologies, values, methods, goals. And I want to factor out what accounts for those differences into (a) historic/sociocultural contingency and (b) the meta-quasi-invariant referent (mind/brain/physics/method).

Yes, I agree that’s valuable!
