A DIFFERENT WAY TO STUDY STRUCTURE
This is not a linear curriculum
AXISTASE is approached here as a cartographic practice: a way to make position, relation, movement,
timing, support and correction more explicit without turning a map into a verdict. Progress means
increasing distinction, traceability and revisability - not memorising a hierarchy of correct answers.

The six-step loop is a learning aid, not a substitute for the formal research workflow. Its purpose
is to keep source-first reading, competing explanations and correction visible while you learn
the architecture.

BY THE END OF THIS GUIDE
You should be able to separate observation from interpretation; distinguish a function candidate from a finding;
treat relation evidence as a separate claim; retain at least two plausible origins; and name a new observation that
could revise the map.

You will revisit the same concepts at increasing resolution. Early pages orient. Middle pages distinguish
the fixed architecture and the twelve functions. Later pages ask you to map cases, compare competing
origins and design observations that could change your reading.
