Enum Kind 

pub enum Kind {
    Question,
    Hypothesis,
    Attempt,
    Finding,
    Decision,
}

The five kinds, and there are no more.

Variants

Question

What is not known. It gets answered. The only kind that can exist with nothing under it: a question nobody tried is work outstanding.

Hypothesis

A proposed, falsifiable answer. It gets validated or refuted — verbs a question does not have, which is why it is not a question reworded.

Attempt

What was tried, citing layer 1. The only kind that touches it.

Finding

What the evidence says. The verb edges come from here, and it is the only kind exportable to a knowledge lake.

Decision

What is done about it. Apart from the finding because two people can agree on one and disagree on the other.

Implementations

impl Kind

pub fn article(&self) -> &'static str

a or an, for reading this kind into a sentence.

Of the five only Attempt takes an, and it is the one these messages reach for most: the commonest of them is go refusing a move that cites no commit, which only an attempt ever could. So a attempt was the article almost everybody saw.

pub fn read(said: &str) -> Option<Self>

pub fn as_str(&self) -> &'static str

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Kind

fn clone(&self) -> Kind

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Kind

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for Kind

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Display for Kind

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Ord for Kind

fn cmp(&self, other: &Kind) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialEq for Kind

fn eq(&self, other: &Kind) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl PartialOrd for Kind

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Kind) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl Serialize for Kind

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl Copy for Kind

impl Eq for Kind

impl StructuralPartialEq for Kind
