Goal: create a provenance-separated feature record for distinct real plant and animal subjects, or explicitly record that the real inquiry was unavailable. Proposed codes: AC9SFU01, AC9SFI02 (approved direct live view only), AC9SFI03. Prepare: adult preflight, four-source gate, two-pair log, Card 143.

  1. Adult gate · 3 min. Confirm safe approval, two distinct plants, two distinct animals, rights for any real photo, local date and access. If a condition fails, write REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE and use N1–N4 model records instead.
  2. Question · 4 min. Ask “Which outer feature can we actually see in each view?” Name LIVE, PHOTO, ADULT REPORT or MODEL before showing.
  3. Inspect/read · 5 min. Show approved distinct subjects without handling, disturbance or guessing identity; record actual view and interruptions. In fallback, read N1–N4 explicitly as FICTIONAL MODEL.
  4. Child raw record · 7 min. Card 143 routes capture subject IDs, exact feature words, source/date/access and NOT VISIBLE or UNCLEAR. Keep two crops of one source under one ID.
  5. Probe · 4 min. Ask what a hidden root, wing or ear means in this view. Model answer: “not visible here,” never “has none.”
  6. Exit · 2 min. Save four distinct genuine records only if made; otherwise a labelled model log.
