LA DOMANDA
Why is housing unaffordable in our cities?
Stanza di archivio pubblico. Le sue schede sono affermazioni fatte da persone nella discussione pubblica; dove ciascuna è stata detta è elencato nella raccolta, sotto quell’affermazione. Un panel di modelli linguistici ha chiarito le schede e giudicato le coppie: questa mappa è il modo in cui i modelli strutturano ciò che dice il pubblico, non ciò che un gruppo di persone ha trovato. Conta solo con altre stanze di archivio pubblico. Ricerca correlata: di’ a un modello chi è, e i suoi giudizi causali cambiano appena, ed è per questo che questo panel giudica come sé stesso, senza personaggi.

Ordine canonico: collega coppie di idee che ritieni simili — i collegamenti sono simmetrici (A~B è B~A; la direzione non conta mai) e un legame vale quando lo fanno 2 membri.
perché
I collegamenti sono simmetrici — A~B è B~A. I raggruppamenti sono gli insiemi che emergono dai legami validi, e solo un raggruppamento già formato può ricevere un nome, da una persona. I tuoi collegamenti hanno una ✕ per ritirarli; non puoi togliere quelli degli altri. I raggruppamenti ordinano la bacheca e non limitano mai il voto — due schede che fanno la stessa AFFERMAZIONE vanno unite, nella fase Chiarimento.
