Direct answer: Separate the observable event from judgment and assumption. What here can be verified independently of your feelings? Split the note into two columns: observable event and your interpretation.
Reflecta version: Leela cell 2 “Fact” belongs to Reflecta’s digital version; names, numbering, and transitions may differ on other Leela boards.

A visual path can organize the sequence of moves without turning it into a forecast.
Observation, interpretation and missing information
This page describes the current Reflecta board. Other Leela and Gyan Chaupar versions may use different names or numbering, so “Fact” should be read together with this field and the player’s recorded intention.
Fact slows down the jump from an event to a conclusion. “The message has not been answered for two days” can be checked; “I am being rejected” is an interpretation. A feeling is also a fact about the player’s present state, but it does not prove another person’s motive.

A concrete example
Situation: A manager postpones a meeting. The player records the date and the wording of the message as facts, marks “my work is not valued” as a hypothesis, and lists what additional evidence could confirm or weaken that hypothesis.
Action: Split the note into two columns: observable event and your interpretation.
Check criterion: The note is usable when another reader could separate at least three observations from assumptions and unknowns.

What usually weakens the result
- Do not remove emotions from the record; classify them correctly. Memory, motive and prediction should not be presented as independently verified facts.
- The title “Fact” is a prompt for reflection, not a diagnosis, a fixed personality label or a forecast.
- On the current Reflecta board, this cell does not trigger a mandatory transition.

Separate the observable event from judgment and assumption. What here can be verified independently of your feelings? Split the note into two columns: observable event and your interpretation.
What here can be verified independently of your feelings?
Fact slows down the jump from an event to a conclusion. “The message has not been answered for two days” can be checked; “I am being rejected” is an interpretation. A feeling is also a fact about the player’s present state, but it does not prove another person’s motive.
Can a feeling be a fact?
Yes, the feeling itself is a fact about your condition. The explanation of why it appeared and what another person intended remains a hypothesis until there is evidence.
Does Leela predict the future?
No. The “Fact” cell does not reveal an inevitable future or another person’s hidden motives; it helps organise observations, assumptions and questions.
Split the note into two columns: observable event and your interpretation. Then open Leela in Reflecta, save your own answer first and use the AI response only as another hypothesis to test.
