# Site ## Pages - [Page not found](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/404/): That page doesn't exist, or it has moved since you last looked - [Assessment](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/assessments/): Every piece of graded work in the course, what it is worth, and when it is due. - [Field Case File](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/assessments/case-file/): A write-up of the two on-campus cases from weeks 5–6, marked on documentation rigor, safety-protocol adherence and analytical quality. - [Final Capstone](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/assessments/final-capstone/): A containment/warding protocol for a novel case, grounded in the course's classification and countermeasure material and judged holistically. - [Comparative Literature Review](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/assessments/literature-review/): A review of the regional and global case corpus from weeks 7–9, marked on breadth of comparison and quality of evaluation of competing accounts. - [Disengagement invocation log](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/incidents/): A running record of every fieldwork observation ended under the disengagement rule, kept by the Field Safety Officer. - [Lectures](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/lectures/): What is covered, week by week, and which topics each lecture draws on. - [Observation as Evidence](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/lectures/week-01/): What the course studies, why it insists "applied" is not decoration, and the observe–classify–countermeasure method that structures the semester. - [Behavioural Classification](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/lectures/week-02/): How to test a case against persistent / recurring / responsive / dormant rather than just recite the labels, using a benign-looking object's dual profile as the worked example. - [Comparative Warding](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/lectures/week-03/): Why this course treats nine independently-arrived-at warding traditions, named explicitly as themselves, as countermeasure data rather than folklore to be explained away. - [Fieldwork Safety Protocol](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/lectures/week-04/): The three real-world safety traditions this course's fieldwork protocol borrows from, and the case next week that makes the buddy-system rule's necessity concrete rather than abstract. - [Case Clinic I](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/lectures/week-05/): Applying the classification scheme live for the first time, the case that finally gives the buddy system real teeth, and the corpus's first real fieldwork test of a week-3 measure. - [Case Clinic II](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/lectures/week-06/): How to turn a week of field logs into a case file a marker can assess, using the seminar room and the 13-step stairwell as worked examples. - [Sourcing and Evidence](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/lectures/week-07/): Three ways a documented case can fail the sourcing test without being obviously fake, and the persistent-plus-dormant reveal held back since week 2. - [Comparative Analysis](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/lectures/week-08/): Bloody Mary and Hanako-san read side by side as the same responsive- ghost-in-an-institutional-fixture case with no plausible line of transmission between them, plus a sourcing-integrity lesson about the Charlie Charlie Challenge. - [Convergence and Causation](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/lectures/week-09/): What the pooled regional and global cases do and don't support, and why the course treats a single unifying cause as a live question rather than a conclusion this phase is entitled to. - [Explanatory Frameworks](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/lectures/week-10/): Cosmic prisoner theory and shadow domain theory held to the falsifiability test the practical sets, and what three real, citable frameworks say instead, once you stop looking for a single cause. - [Hypothesis and Dissent](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/lectures/week-11/): Where the fourth-dimensional hypothesis actually stands — its strongest support, its open dissenters, and why this course does not treat "leading" as "concluded." - [Capstone Protocol](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/lectures/week-12/): A joint review of the whole semester's method, and the containment or warding protocol it all points to — a design task, not a recital. - [People](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/people/): Who teaches the course, and how to reach them. - [Teaching Fellow Jonah Whitcombe](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/people/jonah-whitcombe/): The course's Field Safety Officer, responsible for the fieldwork safety protocol and for running the on-campus practicals and the comparative warding-traditions unit. - [Dr. Perpetua Solano](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/people/perpetua-solano/): The course's founding convenor, responsible for its classification frameworks and the theoretical spine that runs from week 1 through the literature-synthesis phase. - [Policies and support](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/policies/): The course-wide rules for late work, extensions, academic integrity and getting help. - [Orientation: observational method basics](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/sessions/01-observational-method/): The course's baseline method — log what you see, corroborate before you classify, never intervene — introduced before any fieldwork begins. - [Historical taxonomies of anomalous phenomena](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/sessions/02-historical-taxonomies/): How the course's classification scheme took its present shape, and why three earlier taxonomies were retired rather than patched. - [Comparative warding: nine traditions, read as applied research](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/sessions/03-comparative-warding/): Nine independently-developed protective traditions, from three continents and no shared contact between them, named explicitly as themselves and read as countermeasure research rather than folklore. - [Fieldwork method & safety protocol](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/sessions/04-fieldwork-safety-protocol/): The rules that make on-campus observation safe to run at all — informed consent, the buddy system, and the disengagement rule that ends an observation before it costs anyone anything. - [Case clinic 1: the seminar room past the bricked-over fire door](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/sessions/05-case-clinic-1/): The first supervised on-campus observation — a disused Arts Annex seminar room, marked "do not reassign" on the facilities floor plan, that reads as larger on the inside than the corridor outside allows. - [Case clinic 2: the 13-step stairwell](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/sessions/06-case-clinic-2/): The second supervised on-campus observation, and the week the Field Case File is due — a stairwell that returns you to the floor you started on after exactly thirteen steps, sometimes. - [Regional case survey: comparative method](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/sessions/07-regional-case-survey/): Moving from the course's own two campus cases to a survey of documented regional cases, and the comparative method that makes cases from different sources comparable at all. - [Global case survey: the international corpus as primary source data](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/sessions/08-global-case-survey/): Widening the same comparative method to a global corpus of documented cases, treated as primary source material rather than folklore to be filtered out. - [Comparative analysis: convergence across cases](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/sessions/09-comparative-analysis/): Pooling the regional and global surveys to ask what the cross-case convergence actually supports — and where the Comparative Literature Review, due this week, has to stop short of a verdict. - [Competing frameworks: cosmic prisoner theory, shadow domain theory, and others](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/sessions/10-competing-frameworks/): A survey of the theoretical frameworks currently offered to explain the convergence identified in week 9 — read as competing, evidence-bearing claims, not a menu to choose from. - [The unifying fourth-dimensional hypothesis](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/sessions/11-fourth-dimensional-hypothesis/): The framework most cases in the corpus are currently read against — presented as leading, not settled, and held to the same falsifiability standard as every framework in week 10. - [Final debrief and practical wrap-up](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-YueheSun/sessions/12-final-debrief/): The closing practical — reviewing the semester's cases and frameworks together, in the week the Final Capstone is due.
