Chapters
You organize a narrative or investigation by nodes.
Step 10: create Prismas and prepare publications
`Prisma` is used to design the roadmap of a problem, compose chapters, and prepare a navigable deliverable that can later be exported or published as a trace.
Core idea
Prisma turns analysis into a navigable work
When solving one case is no longer enough, Prisma lets you structure an investigation, an argumentative path, or a presentable piece.
Deliverable
You prepare a readable version to share or publish.
Bridge
It connects Model Studio with Traces.
Create a Prisma
You can create it directly in `Prisma` or generate it from `ModelStudio` when the board already has enough structure.
Edit and compose
In the Prisma editor you define title, subtitle, problem, status, and composition by chapters or nodes.
Prepare publication
A published Prisma becomes ready to turn into a shareable piece or curated trace.
What value it adds
When Prisma is better than a normal file
- When you want to explain a problem by layers.
- When you need a navigable work, not only an answer.
- When you are going to share, teach, or publish.
- When the analysis already deserves an editorial format.
Next step
After publishing, traces come next
Guide 11 focuses on `Traces`, the shareable and curated pieces that SELFTRACE leaves visible or tokenized.
