separate

Use when building the actual theory or formal/computational model for a Psychological Review manuscript — turning a framed problem into explicit assumptions, mechanisms, formal structure, and derivations. Constructs the model; it does NOT derive and test predictions against data (that is psychrev-argument-development) or set scope and identifiability limits (psychrev-boundary-conditions).

When to use

• building the actual theory
• building formal/computational model
• turning framed problem into explicit assumptions
• specifying mechanisms
• formalizing verbal claims
• deriving model behavior
• connecting mechanisms to explanandum

When not to use

• derive and test predictions against data
• set scope and identifiability limits
