Study and practice¶

This is a study outline. A complete practice sequence is not yet available.

• multi-scale model
• competing explanations
• distribution
• legitimacy
• implementation
• second-order effects
• reversibility
• learning institutions

Multi-scale actor / rule / power / feedback map¶

Reconstruct the mechanism, apply it to an unseen case, produce a counterexample/boundary, identify evidence, and defend under changed assumptions.

Competing explanations, discriminating evidence & counterfactuals¶

Reconstruct the mechanism, apply it to an unseen case, produce a counterexample/boundary, identify evidence, and defend under changed assumptions.

Institutional design, reversibility, distribution, legitimacy & learning¶

Reconstruct the mechanism, apply it to an unseen case, produce a counterexample/boundary, identify evidence, and defend under changed assumptions.

Intended demonstration¶

Capstone dossier + unseen perturbation + oral defense

This describes the intended standard, not a validated assessment or a claim of mastery.
