How should I read this chapter?
Each row gives the pinyin, the plain-English name, and what it points to in real life. The terms are labels for structure, not verdicts: read them as a way of describing a chart, then look at the behaviour they suggest. This chapter holds 23 terms in 3 sections.
Where do these terms appear in the product?
In the chart read-out, the advice layer, the comparison conclusions and the period notes. When a word on a result page is unfamiliar, come back here for the row that explains it.
Can a term be used as a conclusion?
No. Terms describe structure; the scores come from a separate model whose formulas are published. We make no claim about outcomes, in either direction.
