Thinking

A thesis should leave its limits in view.

A field-paper index for questions that need a falsifiable thesis and a recorded decision.

The public record

This index begins with one approved field paper. Its record names the question, thesis, sources, counterevidence, limitations, decision, and revision history.

  1. 01

    Question and thesis

    What is being tested, and what would revise the argument?

  2. 02

    Evidence and counterevidence

    Which sources support the thesis, and where does the record resist it?

  3. 03

    Limits and decision

    What falls outside the paper, and what should happen next?
