🎙️ Crime: Reconstructed

Week 3 — Tuesday

🧭 Episode Focus

How early explanations migrate from possibility → probability → perceived fact.

🧠 Core Concept

Assumptions become “facts” through repetition, not evidence.

🔁 The Repetition Cycle

🧩 Step 1 — Assumption Introduced

“This could explain the evidence.”

📢 Step 2 — Repeated

Investigators → Media → Analysts

⚠️ Step 3 — Language Shift

Could → Likely → Is

🔄 Step 4 — Accepted as Fact

Assumption becomes structural.

⚠️ The Risk

Investigations begin:

* organizing around the assumption

* reinforcing the narrative

* filtering contradictory evidence

🧪 First Principles Test

Ask:

• What is actually known?

• What is inferred?

• What is being assumed?
