Goal: preserve raw attempts and interruptions without manufacturing a pattern or cause. Proposed codes: AC9SFU02 (conditional), AC9SFI02 (actual only), AC9SFI03. Prepare: blank paired-attempt mat, local adult safety gate, Card 128.

  1. Gate · 3 min. Recheck approval and whether one or two genuine slow adult movements are safe; a single actual try is enough to stop.
  2. Conditions · 4 min. Name same pad/table/start if actual. If the adult chooses a different hand path, record the action change explicitly; do not claim a material cause.
  3. Adult action/model · 5 min. Perform only approved tries with adult control and stop for interruption, or read G's two possible fictional routes without claiming they happened.
  4. Child raw record · 7 min. Card 128 routes log TRY 1 and TRY 2 separately as VALID / INTERRUPTED / NOT RUN, path if truly seen, source/date/access. No blank is silently filled.
  5. Probe · 4 min. Ask if a second path proves pad material caused a bend. Child identifies adult action/insufficient control.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Keep mixed/one/no trial statuses visible; no pattern from two imagined routes.
