Question · Hypothesis · Method · Review
We preserve the initial question, competing explanations, chosen method, problems found in review, and subsequent revisions. Readers can see when and why a judgment changed rather than seeing only the final conclusion.
Asks for a language and study design that can investigate function and therapeutic possibilities when persistent, recurrent, multisystem, time-varying symptoms are not fully captured by one diagnosis—while continuing to guard against missed disease.
Diagnosis is essential but may not encode symptom timing, clustering, triggers, functional loss, or individual treatment response. Recurrent observations in Baekrokdam’s “other conditions” clinic generate questions; they are not evidence by themselves.
An unverified conjecture that sequences, coupled variation, triggers, relievers, functional recovery, and treatment-response networks may reveal patient subgroups and next decisions better than summed symptom lists.
A public v0.1 protocol that first separates terms and patient strata, combines red-flag reassessment with low-burden longitudinal observation, and constructs comparable phenomenon units across classical sources, cases, and contemporary research.
The problem, safety boundaries, disconfirmation routes, and Korean–English alignment are structured for public discussion. External terminology consensus, scientific validity, and clinical utility remain unreviewed and unverified.
One track keeps red flags and differential diagnosis open; the other records symptom trajectories, function, life context, treatment exposures, and responses. Neither track closes the other.
