“If the temperature drops, then water freezes.”

💡 Key Insight

"If-then" becomes an embedded fact connected causally to the conclusion.

DECOMPOSE

Question	Answer	Sort
1. What things?	Claim A: "Temperature" (e₁), Claim B: "Water" and "ice" (e₂, e₃)	Multiple entities across claims
2. How connected?	"drops" — downward process (r₁), "freezes" — transformation (r₂)	Relations: both are curves
3. What manner?	Direction: downward (drops), forward (freezes)	Modifiers: curvature direction
4. What claimed?	Conditional: embedded premise causes conclusion	Assertion: causal chain via embed()

SELECT OPERATIONS

• Inner assertion a₁: predicate(e_temp, r_drop, _)
• embed(a₁) → e_fact (the temperature dropping becomes a thing)
• Outer: predicate(e_fact, r_causes, predicate(e_water, r_freeze, e_ice))

Use causal chain approach: embed the "if" clause, connect to conclusion with directed relation.

Inner frame: temperature with downward curve. Embedded as entity. Connected to water→ice transformation.

5-Pass Reading:

✓Pass 1 — Enclosures: Outer frame, inner frame
✓Pass 2 — Connections: Downward curve inside inner frame; curved path from inner frame to entities; curved path between two entities
✓Pass 3 — Angles: Angles at junctions
✓Pass 4 — Points: Three points — one in inner frame, two in outer frame
✓Pass 5 — Curvature: Downward curvature (dropping); forward curvature (freezing)

Reading Result:

“An embedded assertion [something descends through a process] causes [through a process] an entity to transform into another entity.”
