START
Open index.html in a modern browser. The same self-contained player is
also supplied as Frontiers_The_Statement.html. No account, installation,
server, or API key is needed.

MODES
For class: complete the core investigation, concept activities, five-field
brief, and self-review. Print or save a PDF and submit it separately as
instructed. A finished record is not an automated grade for reasoning.
For fun: browse all chapters and records; writing and printing are optional.
Switching modes preserves notes. Fun notes do not certify class completion.

CORE
Who gets the credit?
What best explains the first releases, and what different outcome might R’s statement have changed?
Save an initial claim and strengthening/weakening prediction, reveal a
chosen record, write a provisional finding, face the challenge, then keep,
narrow, change, or suspend the claim with reasons. Initial and revised
versions remain in the exported record.

OPTIONAL FRONTIER
Tomorrow, R does it too.
Yesterday’s condemnation could become protection—or a standard that makes today’s contradiction more costly.
Optional unless assigned. A proposed study, not a supplied empirical result.

PACING
Plan 30–35 minutes for the guided core; optional frontier 10–15 more.
These are unpiloted planning estimates; allow time for access needs and
separate submission. No additional article reading is required for the core.

FILES

SAVE YOUR WORK
Device saving is browser-specific. Export a JSON progress file before
changing devices or clearing browser data. Restore it inside the app.
Text and print/PDF exports preserve the claim history and optional notes.
Downloading or printing does not submit work to Canvas or another system.

READINGS
Essential explanations are inside the player. External links require internet.
Free-copy availability can change. Articles are linked, not redistributed.
Case records and hearing voices are fictional teaching material; optional
frontier designs are proposals rather than results from the core articles.
Fixed choices receive feedback; prose requires human review. Political
agreement, grammar, prediction accuracy, and support use are not scored.
