# Yes-But / No-And Outcome Audit - Chapter 16

id: yes_but_no_and | owner: codex | target: `output/chapters/chapter_16.md`

- `YES-BUT - attempt: Theo deflects flyer praise - YES quoted: "That's the camera" / "It's a phone" ends the quip - BUT quoted: he still faces the flyer down and cannot trust the chair count.`
- `YES-BUT - attempt: Theo paints June's fear - YES quoted: "The real one went over it" - BUT quoted: "You made it mine" turns success into exposure.`
- `NO-AND - attempt: Theo avoids his own fear through usefulness - NO quoted: June's canvas shows the blank ground - AND quoted: Odile orders the canvases to hang together.`
- `NO-AND - attempt: Theo tries to retrieve catalog danger without confessing - NO quoted: "They're fine where they are" - AND quoted: the paper slip remains in June's apartment.`
- `PURE-NO - attempt: Theo tries to say the truth - outcome quoted: he says "I'll send you the layout" instead - load-bearing: YES per Ch17 reveal, but outcome has AND pressure: June leaves and the armed catalogs remain. Reclassified NO-AND.`

TALLY: 2 YES-BUT / 3 NO-AND / 0 PURE-YES / 0 PURE-NO out of 5 attempts.

Chapter verdict: `OUTCOMES-GENERATIVE`.

Closest pure outcome: the failed confession; it survives because it worsens Ch17, rather than dead-ending.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
