Visual Intent
This compact loop is the reusable visual grammar for the Field Guide method. It keeps the reader from treating observation as raw data capture, interpretation as private opinion, or application as unreviewable output. Each part depends on the others: observation needs context, interpretation needs warrant, and application needs a consequence path back to observation.
Use this diagram wherever a draft risks sounding like a generic feedback loop. The point is not motion by itself; the point is disciplined movement through meaning.
