Case files
A case file is one worked example of the Method: a narrative or a label followed through dated public text, with its sources, what went unread and any prediction it leads to. Files are numbered in the order they are published.
“One in six Americans” is a CDC estimate from data mostly of 2000 to 2008

Five of 26 state phone laws filed under “bell to bell” use the phrase
File 1
How one school phrase has carried three meanings, and where it appears in the laws filed under it.
Struck in print: “bell-to-bell phone-free policy” in the title and in the section heading. The print strikes the earlier text. It does not drop the phrase: a new title begins on page 6, “BELL-TO-BELL MOBILE DEVICE POLICY,” and the phrase stays in a heading on page 7. Text shown struck through is left out of the count. General Assembly of Pennsylvania, May 6, 2026. Highlight added. Source
