prose

Continuous sentences with no visible scaffolding. The order of clauses is the order of thought, and the connectives do the structural work: because marks a cause, but marks a reversal, so marks a consequence. Nothing is labeled, which is why prose can carry hedges and half-certainties that a diagram would have to flatten into a box or drop entirely.

Best when the reasoning is subtle, the qualifications matter, and a reader will go through it once from the top.
