CitationLadder

Add four real citation marks one at a time. Each mark appears beside the child and adds a matching reference to the visible list, so a plain note gains a growing scholarly apparatus without gaining a source.

Possible use

It could let a reviewer make a handoff note look increasingly researched, or let a presenter add one reference mark per audience question before moving on. Neither use creates a source or improves the note.

Reasonable alternative

A reasonable local alternative is one real citation list tied to actual sources. A click-powered ladder mistakes the appearance of scholarship for evidence.

No source has been invented yet.

Mechanism

1: Start with an ordinary note and no sources.
2: Add citations one at a time; each one becomes a real reference mark.
3: Remove the citations when the note has become academically overprepared.

02 / Usage
