Learn what reality can answer
Choose a move in the practical Guide →When this area helps
What could you learn from facts or experience that more thinking alone cannot answer?
Use this area only when an unanswered fact about the world is truly blocking the next decision and at least one possible result would change what you do.
What to produce
A clear note of what you checked, where the information came from, what each possible result meant, what you learned, what the result still cannot show, and what you will do next.
What to check
Every required check must pass: the information source is trustworthy enough, important findings are not just copies of one another, the conclusion does not go beyond the result, you looked for information that might show the first idea is wrong, the result applies to this situation, and the limits are stated.
