# Thirty switchable routes

Choose or switch at any point. These preserve the day’s reasoning goal; they do not turn a report/model into direct physical observation. A child directing an adult retains authorship of their choices and actual artefact. No learning-style labels, diagnosis assumptions or required sense. AAC means augmentative and alternative communication: familiar pictures, signs, symbols or a communication device, as appropriate for the child. [Complete protocol](MATERIALS.md).

## Day 171 · Question + encountered property

**A · Direct/access available:** Choose a part on the real approved cloth/pad; ask your own question and name one actually seen or safely self-felt property. No press needed.

**B · Director/report:** Direct an adult to present the chosen part; use your available sense or the attributed adult description. Your question stays yours; source/access named.

**C · Complete source model:** Use PLAN’s exact words/outline; ask about the proposed pad and name a drawn feature. Actual try NOT TRIED; no cloth chemistry inferred.

## Day 172 · Prior idea + stage comparison

**A · Direct/access available:** Choose an accessible feature; predict before one welcomed self-controlled try or an adult action you actually observe, then compare the stages.

**B · Director/report:** Choose feature/action/stop; adult acts alone. If you cannot observe it directly, compare your prior idea with the adult’s attributed exact report.

**C · Complete source model:** Before NOTE’s later stages are revealed, give a prior model idea; after reveal compare with its fictional stages. No physical result credited.

## Day 173 · One part, bounded description

**A · Direct/access available:** Look or safely explore the chosen edge alone; describe actual before/press/release feature if a try occurs. Hidden centre stays unknown.

**B · Director/report:** Ask an adult for the chosen edge view/report, without simultaneous pressing and your tactile access; keep your response separate from adult source.

**C · Complete source model:** Point/sign/AAC/direct broad NOTE outlines; describe that drawn side only, with source fiction and hidden/unseen parts kept distinct.

## Day 174 · Accessible useful look

**A · Direct/access available:** Choose a safe view or self-controlled touch, pause/finish if unavailable; ask and explain what your actual sense gave you.

**B · Director/report:** Choose clearer adult presentation/report or pause. Adult action/report named; no child visual observation invented.

**C · Complete source model:** Use complete read-aloud/broad paper outlines without object/print/touch/screen; choose what helps you reason from the described model.

## Day 175 · Held AL comparison + open question

**A · Direct/access available:** First respond to unseen AL picture/text in your chosen mode; later optional real response kept separate. No physical test required.

**B · Director/report:** Adult neutrally reads/describes AL and scribes your first response unchanged; you choose question, no supplied key/hint.

**C · Complete source model:** Use AL’s exact linear/tactile source representation without print/visual access; same source criteria, actual try NOT TRIED.

## Day 176 · Useful next look + ordinary time

**A · Direct/access available:** Choose a new safe look/time/question, predict beforehand and notice available feature; no fixed wait or repeat.

**B · Director/report:** Direct adult’s optional action/observation moment, use direct access if available or attributed report and your response.

**C · Complete source model:** Use NOTE’s specified later look; say what a different earlier moment leaves unknown and choose an open new question. No invented early result.

## Day 177 · Available comparison + differences

**A · Direct/access available:** Compare actual available rows, or one optional new safe look; name what matches/differs without requiring two tries.

**B · Director/report:** Direct an adult look or ask about actual existing rows; differences and adult report remain named. Your comparison can be signed/AAC/private.

**C · Complete source model:** Compare complete NOTE stages; name time/action/shape limits. It is one fictional try, not a claimed pair of local physical trials.

## Day 178 · Small source-bound pattern

**A · Direct/access available:** Use sufficient comparable actual shared rows if they exist; identify shared response or say one/different row cannot give that pattern.

**B · Director/report:** Ask adult to read actual rows with source/time/access; tell the bounded shared relation or uncertainty, no forced extra trial.

**C · Complete source model:** Use the complete Day178 two-row fictional source; identify its shared relation and scope. No local trials or AB decorative repeat claimed.

## Day 179 · Useful observation direction

**A · Direct/access available:** Choose feature/moment and give own short direction to a willing observer; note actual response only if it happens.

**B · Director/report:** Dictate/sign/AAC/direct adult to create your sequence; adult support and any actual listener response named. No required voice/performer.

**C · Complete source model:** Make a broad paper/read-aloud observation plan for a fictional helper labelled MODEL. Actual child-authored artefact, untried event; no fake listener.

## Day 180 · Held AM pattern + limit + question

**A · Direct/access available:** First respond to unseen AM in chosen mode; explain source relation/difference and choose a new question. No actual handling score.

**B · Director/report:** Adult neutrally describes AM, scribes your original first response/support; no key example or leading time hint.

**C · Complete source model:** Use AM exact linear/tactile source representation; same open criteria, fictional-source reasoning not real tactile/visual pad evidence.
