Chapters
OutlineEach chapter is a directory: an outline page, a notes page for material that is not yet prose, and a reference list scoped to that chapter. Chapters 05 and 06 also carry an experiments page listing the runs they report.

08DiscussionInterpretation, limitations and implications.
09ConclusionThe answer, the contributions and what comes next.
Figures and tables
Chapters do not own figures or tables. Every one is registered under artifacts with a permanent identifier and referenced from the chapter by that identifier, so the same figure appearing in a chapter and in a paper is provably the same figure. See conventions.
