    Research Communication

    A paper's job is to let a reader disagree with it precisely, which requires stating what would have falsified the claim.

    How this chapter is built

    M0Narrative

    No mathematical load. Notation may appear; nothing is derived.

    Five strands, not one. Mathematics is the spine; the other four are the body. A chapter cannot pay its way out of teaching with problems, nor out of problems with teaching.

    The problem

    Writing that persuades and writing that informs are different crafts. The second is the one that survives, and it is mostly a matter of making every claim checkable.

    The presence tokenObject queries used to answer two questions at once: whether the concept is present and where it is. SAM 3 gives presence its own global token, leaves localisation to the queries, and multiplies the two scores.one prompt, two questions"striped cat"presence tokenis the concept here at all?object querieswhere, for each instance×scoreTwo questions that interfered when one set of queries answered both. cgF1 55.7 against a field near 24.
    Fig. 9 — Whether the concept is present and where it is are different questions that used to interfere. Giving presence its own token and multiplying the scores is most of why the numbers moved.
