Conceptual framework

A framework is a set of constructs, definitions and assumed relations. Stating it explicitly is what lets a reader tell a disagreement about evidence from a disagreement about terms.

Constructs

Each construct is defined once. If a definition here conflicts with usage in a chapter, the chapter is wrong.

Assumed relations

Replace this diagram with the real one. Each edge is an assumption, and each assumption is either defended from the literature or tested by an experiment.

Assumptions

Boundary conditions

The framework holds inside a region and not outside it. State the region.

Relationship to existing frameworks

Not yet written. Where this borrows, say from whom; where it departs, say why. See competing theories.
