Hold until first capture. Fixed source criteria concern the given dramatic text/type/status, not a preferred child story. Open creative choices have no single right arrangement, meaning, emotion, number of actions or amount of change. One in-role gesture is acceptable; no voice, direct prop handling or audience required. Attribute exact report/AAC/scribing, preserving child's own ideas and support. Later short components allowed without timed completion. Use dated samples across contexts, not a term grade from O/P.
Check O · Cloth at the imagined ridge
Fixed source criteria: given ordinary cloth flat on table; fictional meaning pretend cloud; invented ridge; role sky watcher; proposed point above cloth then still hand. Optional authored fictional line is not actual child's speech. Source PROP-CHECK-O-09 is actual saved original dramatic text/graphic, SubjectNest/NeuroForgeIO with Codex assistance, 30 September 2026; purpose offers a fresh meaning/role/action starting point. Depicted prop/play unmade, no physical performer/weather/real feeling/audience supplied. A truthful partial given detail may be noticed through direct reading/view or exact attributed report; do not infer movement from a still alone.
Open creative criteria: child chooses an intended prop meaning, role/place and action clue that plausibly communicates their invented idea; new meaning or own developed version allowed. A private/unnamed idea can be recorded through a child-agreed description. Keep/unchanged is a decision; no copied arrangement required. Actual artifact/play/status and maker/support must be accurate. A verbal-only plan supports development, not an enacted event.
Possible response after capture only: “The text says ordinary cloth, pretend cloud. In my story it is a pretend path. I am a traveller in an invented meadow and point ahead. I direct you to draw it.” If an agreed adult drawing exists, it is child-devised work with adult drawing contribution; proposed play remains UNENACTED. If actually acted by child/adult, record exact real contribution separately. This is an example, never a required answer.
Next teaching: if ordinary/pretend confused, play a new practice prop substitution and name both without a Science/material test. If source gesture treated as observed acting, compare text proposal with a real optional dated enactment only if available. If adult supplied role/meaning, offer a smaller choice plus “your own” and wait. If clue inaccessible, adapt gesture/director route, not motor score. Preserve first version.
Check P · Card at the imagined hall
Fixed source criteria: ordinary blank card flat on table; pretend doorway; invented hall; visitor; proposed open palm towards card then point beside it; optional fictional line not real testimony. Source PROP-CHECK-P-10, same author/date, purpose offers a different fresh clue for own scene. Actual saved text/graphic, represented play unmade. Nobody steps through/operates a real doorway; actual audience reading not given.
Open creative criteria: own intended meaning/role/place/action clue, including own development of a similar meaning or one silent gesture. Intention versus actual freely willing viewer reading distinguished. Child authorship in director-created artifact acknowledged; adult enactment is not child enactment. Actual plan/drawing/script/play sharing status truthful; no forced public show or real emotion disclosure.
Possible response after capture only: “The source card is a pretend doorway. Mine is a pretend lighthouse. I am a lookout at an invented shore and point above the card. I direct an adult to play it.” Actual agreed adult play is CHILD-DEVISED / ADULT-ENACTED, not child physical enactment. If no viewer was freely involved, write NOT OBSERVED; do not invent their interpretation. A dry drawing/script can remain the child's created work even if play is unenacted.
Next teaching: if intention labelled actual audience understanding, use a new practice intention and optional actual willing response; differing reading allowed. If copied model replaces child's choice, offer a fresh unrelated prop meaning. If stage action unsafe, keep tabletop and reduce to a gaze/point/director choice. No performer or audience role forced; later accessible enactment can supply missing performance evidence.
Programme boundary
FD01 includes play/imagination/development; FC01 own authored dramatic text/drawing/director-devised work can communicate an idea, with actual form/status explicit. An actual drawing is not evidence of the child's enacted role/voice/movement. FE01 is narrow conditional saved-work encounter + actual child response/documented purpose or separately cleared source, not all people/community breadth. FP01 requires actual own work shared with a freely agreeing audience; paper sharing and live performance sharing different. Record not observed without calling it cannot do.
