MECHANISM COMPARISON

Similar patterns.
Different physics.

Put two mechanisms side by side. Compare the operation, the observable question and the inference the evidence can support.

Compare the observable before comparing the name

Similar-looking traces can have different explanations. This comparison organizes the distinctions; it does not assign an experimental verdict to an unspecified apparatus.
