The Statement | Frontiers Simulations
Created by Yoav Duman

START
Open index.html in a modern browser. The same self-contained player is
also supplied as Frontiers_The_Statement.html. No account, installation,
server, or API key is needed.

MODES
Choose For Class and enter your name. Class or section is optional. For Fun uses separate progress and optional writing.
In assessed Class answers, type, dictate, or reuse text within the same answer.

For Class, record the six checkpoints with minimums of 15, 40, 40, 50, 60, and 45 words. Complete the concept checks and self-review. Once the Class run is complete, choose Print / Save PDF and upload the PDF to Canvas.

CORE
Who gets the credit?
What best explains the first releases, and what different outcome might R’s statement have changed?
Save an initial claim and strengthening/weakening prediction, reveal a
chosen record, write a provisional finding, face the challenge, then keep,
narrow, change, or suspend the claim with reasons. Initial and revised
versions remain in the exported record.

OPTIONAL FRONTIER
Tomorrow, R does it too.
Yesterday’s condemnation could become protection—or a standard that makes today’s contradiction more costly.
Optional unless assigned. A proposed study, not a supplied empirical result.

PACING
Plan 35–45 minutes for the solo Class investigation. The optional Frontier can add 10–15 minutes.
These are unpiloted planning estimates; allow time for access needs and
separate submission. No additional article reading is required for the core.

SAVE YOUR WORK
Device saving is browser-specific. Download a progress JSON before changing devices. To continue, restore it in the same mode.
The completed Class PDF preserves the evidence choices, first claim, and revision. Upload it to Canvas.

READINGS
Essential explanations are inside the player. External links require internet.
Free-copy availability can change. Articles are linked, not redistributed.
Case records and hearing voices are fictional teaching material; optional
frontier designs are proposals rather than results from the core articles.
Fixed choices receive feedback; prose requires human review. Political
agreement, grammar, prediction accuracy, and support use are not scored.
