· v2.2.0
Every page of an investigation says how to read it
- Investigate
- Theories
- Design and reading
Causes, Conditions, Succession and each tab of Compare cases now open on a guide of their own: what the page is for, what its words and marks mean, which number to look at first, and the one thing not to conclude from it. Theories has been set again from the top, as a printed atlas sets a spread - a headline, a tally of the five verdicts in large figures, and each theory that applies in three columns: its argument and the main objection, its conditions one by one, and how often its outcome follows them.
- A guide opens the first time you reach a page and then stays as you leave it, on your device. In the narrow rail it is an index of numbered topics that open one at a time, so the answer you came for is still on the first screen; in Compare cases it is set in columns.
- Theories says plainly what each of its five verdicts means - applies, close, absent, cannot be checked, does not ask - and counts the theories under each before any detail.
- Each theory that applies shows whether every condition it names held here, the rows behind each, and its rate as two large figures, with the conditions and without, saying whether they are read for the region or across the atlas.
- The near-fits are cards side by side that name the missing condition before they are opened; a state's own history reads as a table with each theory's share of its risings drawn as a bar; and the library below is set at reading sizes.
- The headings of Compare cases are set in the display face at the design's sizes, and its notes and tables a step larger.
