EVIDENCE CHAPTER 04
The timing of a change can be as important as the symptom itself.
Brain state, ENT, oral, GI, memory, motor function, and recovery on one timeline.

24 EXAMPLES · 6 FOCUSED ROUTES
Put the body systems on one timeline without collapsing them into one explanation.
Each body-system path contains four de-identified examples, their evidence labels, and why they matter. Read one system at a time, then compare their timing without treating them as one explanation.
Brain state
A spell, an EEG, sleep architecture, and daily function are four different kinds of evidence.
Open 4 examples →02ENT & airway
A reassuring hearing test does not answer every ENT question.
Open 4 examples →03Oral & dental
The mouth is not just a feeding detail.
Open 4 examples →04GI & fuel
The outward symptom can hide the underlying physiology.
Open 4 examples →05Memory & access
Reading, retaining, retrieving, sequencing, and using information are not one skill.
Open 4 examples →06Motor & recovery
Loss and recovery can reveal preserved capacity that a static label misses.
Open 4 examples →KEEP THE SYSTEMS SEPARATE
ENT, GI, memory, brain state, oral function, and motor recovery belong on the same timeline—but never under the same heading.
Timing can make a history scientifically useful. It does not show that the systems share one cause, and a normal result in one system does not close a different question.

METHODS & TERMS
The sitewide evidence rules are kept in one place.
Methods & Privacy explains the evidence-label definitions, count rules, missing-information framework, and privacy approach used throughout ASH1L.org.
A genetic result tells us where to look. A life course tells us what the gene may actually mean for a person.
