The nine moves, in plain English

What are we doing here.

§The whole arc, as a person would actually experience it

1. State the object and the purpose. Paste in, or type, whatever the study is actually about — a document, a claim, a question — in your own words, at the front door.
2. Let the machine propose a method. It reads what you wrote and names the study method on its shelf that fits best, with its reason stated in plain words, before anything else happens.
3. Break the object into questions. The chosen method already knows its own set of angles to look from — a handful of named questions, each waiting for you to actually ask it.
4. For each question, delegate to an isolated reader. Type the question, then hand it — with a named brief — to a fenced-off reader built for exactly this kind of question; it already has your material in hand.
5. Ask, and wait for a structured answer. One word — "ask the world" — and, a short wait later, a list of findings comes back, each one tagged with its own epistemic status: did the material merely declare this, or does it actually show it happened, or is it genuinely unclear.
6. Read it, and decide. Attest — accept it, and it becomes part of the study — or archive it, and it stays as history only, never used.
7. The finding returns, on its own. Accepting releases the finding back into exactly the question that asked for it, as a proper entry in the study's own ledger of results — nothing more to do here; the machine carries it.
8. Once every question has an answer, synthesise — automatically, and not a moment before. The study's own synthesis step has been waiting, the whole time, for every one of the questions to come back; the instant the last one does, it writes itself.
9. Arrange the results into a document. Place the ledger entries and the synthesis onto one page, in whatever order tells the story best — the study's own working document, built entirely from what you chose to place there.

§What makes this one arc, not nine separate features

Every move after the first hands off to the next by nothing more than a fact of a particular shape landing somewhere a listener was already waiting for it — exactly Part 1's two ingredients, wired end to end. Move 4 is Part 7's Cell, opened. Move 7 is Part 2's return socket, firing. Move 8 is the same part's barrier, holding until every branch is genuinely in. Nothing in this arc is a special case bolted onto the machine for this one purpose — it is the whole of the rest of this book, walked once, top to bottom, as a person would actually live through it.

§Where the person's judgement sits, and where it does not

The machine proposes the method (move 2), extracts and tags findings (move 5), and refuses to synthesise early (move 8) — none of that is a person's job. Deciding whether a finding is actually right (move 6) always is, and stays the one place in the whole arc where nothing proceeds without a human's own reading. 4.2 argues this exact division — machine for extraction and structure, person for judgement — is not particular to this one study; it is the standard shape of any responsible use of a delegated reader, whatever the subject.
