[Coding/Content] Sc

Aliases

Sc
science
scientific object
technical object

Definition

Sc is coded when the content is understood as scientific, technical, mechanical, or technological.
The important point is that the person sees an apparatus, instrument, machine, or product of applied science.

Conditions

Use it for microscope, robot, machine, weapon, vehicle, technical device, laboratory instrument, or other scientific apparatus.
It can also include ordinary technology when the response treats it as a device or mechanism.
If the object has an artistic or decorative presentation, Sc may coexist with scoring-input/contents/Art.
Before sending an unusual response to scoring-input/contents/Id, first test whether it fits Sc.

Cautions

Sc does not mean merely "strange"; it requires a scientific or technical reading.
An unusual object such as a test tube, engine, or machine part still belongs under Sc, not automatically under scoring-input/contents/Id.
If the response emphasizes cultural symbol or aesthetic piece, it may require scoring-input/contents/Art in addition to Sc.
