Read the first diagram as a lookup map: this page is part of the review shelf, not a first-read narrative. Read the second diagram as the reference rhythm: arrive with a concrete ambiguity, compare the current work against the boundary on the page, then turn that comparison into a decision.

The reference surface holds the durable reading aids for Deep Dive DVC. These pages are for questions that recur across modules: state authority, evidence boundaries, learning order, comparison routes, and course completion standards.

Use This Section When

  • you need the right vocabulary before reading a module again
  • you want to know which state layer settles a trust question
  • you need the right proof route rather than the strongest one
  • you are reviewing whether the course promise is being met

Use Glossary when you want the recurring language in this shelf kept stable while you move between standards, checklists, prompts, and boundary calls.
