Rubric

DET Notes

A rubric collecting working thoughts, clarifications, observations, links, and context that help understand the approach — texts that complement the core DET rubrics but do not form a separate theoretical axis.

In DET there is room for text that does not have to fit into predefined axes. “DET Notes” capture meaning, context, and working links without forcing them into rubrics. Not every significant text must become a rubric. “DET Notes” preserve living transitions, clarifications, and working fragments of meaning from which axes, methodologies, and formal sections later grow.

Key ideas
  • DET context
  • links between rubrics
  • working formulations
  • observations from practice
  • clarifications and notes
  • hypotheses and draft models
  • meta-level understanding
  • limits of applicability
Practical application

Use this rubric when a post relates to DET but does not meet the criteria of any rubric: it may be a marginal note, a case breakdown, a term clarification, a link between ideas, a note on applicability, an intermediate hypothesis, or a context fragment that helps read other texts. If a text clearly matches another rubric, that rubric has priority; “DET Notes” serve as a fallback.
