# Day 36 · Known, not seen, not recorded and not tried

“Keep the recorder's words. Which parts do we know? Which question is still open?”

## Your notes

Fictional recorder P: day 4, named Moon, observation attempted, view cloud-hidden, position unavailable. Q: day 5, question written, observation not attempted. R: day 6, no result record supplied; whether observing occurred is unknown. S: day 7, model marker at baseline, measured 0 equal paper units from that baseline by a fictional helper. S is a real measurement only inside the fictional account, not a real child sky finding. Zero distance does not mean no Moon, no light or no action.

## Pick one way

**Route1 — Build a status key:** Match complete records to attempted-unavailable / not attempted / unknown event / known model value. Child explains a disputed placement. **Route2 — Repair a database row:** Use paper or the blank Sky Record Desk: a draft turns R into “not tried” and P into0. Restore both and explain what additional question could resolve R. **Route3 — Stage a recorder interview:** Child asks “Was it tried? What was recorded?”; helper's answers are the literal card facts. Unknown remains an answer, not pressure to invent one.

You can ask a grown-up to read or write exactly what you tell them. Do a small useful part, rest or pass. A made-up note is not a real sky sighting.
