Classroom elements become rows

The stated source is a classroom tort frame. It lists duty, breach, causation, and damages as element records for review.

Example fact packet

The toy fact packet leaves every element fact unknown. That is a data-state choice, not a case result.

The trace records unknown rows

A classroom negligence frame can be recorded as rows. This trace has 4 element records and 4 unknown rows.

rows=4,unknown=4\text{rows}=4,\quad \text{unknown}=4

Diagram note

The diagram is an element-record trace. It does not assign fault or predict what a court would do.

Summary

The safe data move is to name the elements and fact states, then hand the record to human review.
