The person splits the reasoning
Claim: each claim is one topic the person wrote, with one sentence, a statement and a proof; the splitting into claims is not left to a model.
- Grade: convention, untested for the loop; supported with caveat for checking, which small claims help every time practice reports, while help for thinking is reported only where the person did the splitting.
- Evidence: review, Q4; Kirov 2026a, results; Thoma 2022 and Otte 2026, Table 3, no grade effect in the one controlled comparison; position, condition 4.
- Check:
claim-shape(exact): the title, the one-sentence claim, the Shape, Lean, In words and audit lines, and the Statement, Proof and See also parts;topic(exact): the summary, and a parent that lists the claim. - Reader styles: none.
What it asks
- Write the claim as one sentence under the title.
- Give the claim a statement, a proof in numbered steps, and a link to what it uses.
- List the claim in its theorem's table, so the tree shows how the claims join.
Why
- Small claims make checking fast, and a checked claim ends disputes about it (Tao 2025b).
- Practice reports the effect on thinking only where the person did or followed the splitting.
Limits
- It does not claim that writing as topics helps a person think or learn: no randomised study was found.
- The check reads the form of a claim, not whether the split is a good one.
