Goal: record an exact response from one safe optional adult action, or transparently remain model-only. Proposed codes: AC9SFU03, AC9SFI02, AC9SFI03. Prepare: one-action, approved setup and comfort check, Day 72 prediction or NOT RECORDED, Card 73.
- Consent/source · 3 min. Confirm local approval, verified actual object/support/date, warning and each participant's quiet choice. If anyone needs a silent room, do not tap there; use R.
- Prior words · 4 min. Read true before prediction or NOT RECORDED. An after-event guess cannot become an earlier prediction.
- Optional action · 5 min. Adult makes at most one very gentle fingertip tap at the stated point after warning, then stops. A child may observe directly if comfortable or receive neutral attributed ADULT REPORT; no compulsory touch/hearing.
- Exact record · 7 min. Card 73 routes record local date, object/material, support/action, DIRECT or ADULT REPORT, and exact heard/felt/not discernible response. If no action, write NOT TESTED; describe R only as paper.
- Check · 4 min. Ask whether one response proves every card/fabric behaves this way. Child names setup and one unknown (thickness/support/action).
- Exit · 2 min. Save source-bounded observation privately; do not call it a rhythm or capacity test.
