Facts of interest: ask your first question

The gesture

Type your question into Which facts interest us? and press Commit.

So far

Step 1 reached: 17 records: your sentence (intent.given, #2), the programme chosen for it and why (#6), and the programme's five figures laid out and waiting — four questions and a report.

Why now

The programme does not read the release on its own initiative. It reads along four lines of questioning — it calls them vectors — and each begins with a question in your words. The first asks which facts matter; the other three build on it.

What it reached

One record, #17: your question, in your words. The card shows 1 of 2 reached — the question is in, the findings that will answer it are not.

Frame · Focus · as of offset 18 · just after the gesture
The figure Facts found as of offset 18: the card Facts of interest holds the question at number 17, marked you; the findings slot is still empty and is labelled the return socket; below it the buttons Commit, Attach a release and Open a Cell.
Your question is record #17. The second slot, findings, is still empty.
  1. question #17 — the slot is filled, and says by which record. Click-through numbers like this one are how the surface shows its sources.
  2. findings · the return socket — an empty slot that will accept one kind of record only: accepted findings made for this question.
  3. you · question · #17 — the surface always says who wrote a record: you, the machine or the world.
  4. Open a Cell → findings — the next gesture. It is offered on the empty slot, because a Cell is how that slot gets filled.
