Scaffolded — Prose Coming

This chapter's structure is defined. Figure slots and section headings are stable. Full prose will be published in sequential order from Chapter 1.

This chapter centers the ASM Periodic Table as the primary teaching mechanism.

2.1 Period and Group Structure

Scaffolded prose coming. This section defines the six periods, seven groups, and how dependency depth determines period placement.

Scaffolded prose coming. This section specifies the element panel contract: description, dependency relations, and molecule references.

Scaffolded prose coming. This section formalizes upward/downward dependency traversal and pedagogical use cases.

Scaffolded prose coming. This section distinguishes boson placement, predicted gap notation, and sub-atomic substrate display rules.

Scaffolded prose coming. This section defines mobile adaptation and non-color semantic labeling requirements.

Each figure has a stable share URL and chapter-level cross-linking support.
