The workbench opens

The gesture

Paste the press release into What do you want to do? and press Begin.

So far

Nothing yet. This is where the study begins: you have one sentence of a press release, and a machine you have not used before.

Why now

A study starts from material, not from a menu. The machine reads what you brought, chooses the programme that fits it — here press-release — and lays out that programme's figures. The choice is recorded together with its reason, so you can always see why you are where you are.

What it 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.

The whole workbench just after Begin, as of offset 17: on the left the released value programme.chosen with its reason, in the centre the figure Facts found, waiting, with an empty question, on the right the programme's five figures in work.
The workbench opens on the first figure, Facts found. Left: what has been released. Right: every figure of the programme.
  1. Released. The first thing the machine published: programme.chosen, #6, with the reason for its choice.
  2. The figure in focus, Facts found, is waiting: it has a question to hear and findings to receive, and has neither.
  3. Figures. The whole programme at a glance: four lines of questioning and The report, which waits for all four.
  4. As of offset 17. Seventeen records exist, #0 to #16. Every picture of this walk carries this number.
