# PROPOSAL (1916 practice as the basis): what would an agent-readable scene record look like that keeps Sargent's numbering distinctions, and what checks can an agent run on a numbered script?

PROPOSAL, labelled as such: the 1916 rules in candidates -01 to -03 can be turned into a scene record (id, order number, set with as-in reference, present-tense action lines, leaders and inserts attached to a scene rather than numbered) and a checker for them. The schema is the writer's design; only the rules it encodes are Sargent's claims. Present-day scene-numbering conventions were not read, so the mapping is untested.

Curator qualifications: Scene-record schema and checker are the worker design encoding verified rules; untested against modern conventions, as labelled.

Evidence status: labelled proposal derived from the cited sources; untested; correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
