Learner job · ARG

Build and test a line of reasoning.

Use these Frames when you need to show what a case depends on, connect reasons to a conclusion, or make a hidden assumption visible.

01 · Distinct core Frames

Start with genuinely different ways to do the job

1 canonical indexable Frames, deduplicated by reusable formula structure rather than contextual noun substitution.

01The case for [X] rests on the assumption that [Y].The case for extending the pilot rests on the assumption that the savings will persist after the subsidy ends.German parallel: Das Argument für [X] beruht auf der Annahme, dass [Y].

02 · When to use

Choose the job before the wording

Move to Evidence and inference when the difficult part is support for the claim; move to Cause and effect when the difficult part is the mechanism.

01Evidence and inferenceConnect a claim to evidence without overclaiming.02Cause, effect, and consequenceExplain how one development leads to another.

03 · Active retrieval

Produce one sentence before you reveal a model

Say or write one sentence for this job: “Build and test a line of reasoning.” Then open one Frame above, compare the language move, and rewrite your sentence for a different context.

04 · Continue with reviewed relations

Move from a Frame to a distinction, choice or new sentence

Only already-published relations are shown. Missing relations are not inferred or invented.

01Pattern LensInspect a new sentence and resolve it to canonical Metkagram patterns.

01 · How to use this set

Start from the communication job

Build and test a line of reasoning.

Read the frame, try to complete your own sentence before opening an example, then compare the English structure with its German parallel. The point is retrieval and choice, not passive list reading.
