# Three original three-event PCM candidates · full transcripts

**Candidate only; not cleared for children.** A human educator must listen to all whole files on intended equipment, check clicks and local comfortable volume/room conditions, offer the full no-sound route and respect stop/pass. Do not amplify or loop to force audibility; no headphones required. Digital peak is not an ear-level decibel or a comfort guarantee. No child data is captured.

Each file is original **22,050 Hz, 16-bit mono PCM, 1.90 seconds**. Three 0.22-second events start at **0.10, 0.65 and 1.20 seconds**; short fades and digital silence fill the rest. Pitch L=330 Hz, H=392 Hz. One pure sine electronic source is fixed throughout. Planned level V=very soft 0.018 of digital full scale; S=soft 0.050. These are programmed relative amplitudes, not measurements of actual perceived loudness or human emotion. The transcripts state every intended event; there is no speech or background music.

| Candidate | Complete event transcript: pitch/level | Exact no-sound equivalent |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Idea one](cue-idea-one.wav) | 0.10 L/V; 0.65 L/V; 1.20 H/V; otherwise digital silence. | Three pitch cards `L L H`, three level cards `V V V`; same fictional moment. |
| [Idea two](cue-idea-two.wav) | 0.10 H/V; 0.65 L/S; 1.20 H/V; otherwise digital silence. | Pitch `H L H`, level `V S V`; compare with Idea one: pitch place 1 and level place 2 change. |
| [Another choice](cue-another.wav) | 0.10 H/S; 0.65 H/V; 1.20 L/S; otherwise digital silence. | Pitch `H H L`, level `S V S`; a third possible idea, not a required feeling. |

Paper/raised cards fully serve the **score planning/comparison** goal. They cannot establish actual aural discrimination, performed control, comfort, listener response, cultural context or audience receipt. If an approved real playback occurs, log cue/device/setting and child's own words separately. These cues do not use the fresh check pairs.
