q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q1 i? The article argues that early conceptual and terminological choices in AI, including the shift from cybernetics to artificial intelligence, shaped current situations and debates in education. → Mishra 2025
