**Complete held source:** Original fiction. A broad paper ticket rests touching a drawn station-goal boundary and is not wholly inside it. The written rule says “reach the station” and does not say whether boundary touching counts. A child-character dictates, “Could we say whether touching counts before the next turn?” A helper writes these exact words. No next turn or other player’s reply is supplied.

**Exact own prompt:** Can “touches the boundary” and “not wholly inside” both describe this ticket? Explain using the source.

**Descriptive criterion:** Both supplied descriptions can coexist; absent rule does not make an observation false or establish a score/winner.

**Worked possibility, after own evidence:** Yes. A ticket can touch the boundary while part remains outside. Whether it counts is a missing rule question.

**Full source:** Original unrelated fiction. A broad paper menu rests partly over a drawn reading-place line and touches the line. The rule says arrive at the reading place without defining inside/touching. No score.

**Own invitation:** Can touching and partly outside both fit? What rule word is missing?

**Teach:** Read the two location descriptions separately. Use a broad drawing without a score mark. Invite the learner to relate both and ask about the rule; do not favour touching or inside as a universal preference.

**Observe:** Descriptions coexist; absent boundary rule is distinguished from wrong observed location.

Record the first exact evidence before help. A later source requires an actually recorded separate teaching opportunity. Source reasoning does not award an unperformed procedure or observation. Declined/not offered/not elicited/selected relation not shown remain distinct. This is not an official band or an annual grade.
