ParkinSUM The project guide

A reader's guide · September 2026

Follow the context.
Inspect the evidence.

ParkinSUM's Paper workspace connects local records with deterministic explanations and a synthetic research workbench. This guide shows where to start, how the layers fit together, and where the evidence stops.

Educational production-architecture prototype. Synthetic public demos only. Not medical advice or a medical device; no clinical validation is claimed.

I. Architecture

A visible path from context to explanation.

01 / Interface

The Paper chapters

Today, Timeline, Next meal, Insights, and Library share one composer and command palette. Evidence and operational tools have separate homes.

02 / Records

Local state & provenance

Owner-entered records, catalog metadata, explicit units, and missingness remain distinct. Public demonstrations use fresh synthetic state.

03 / Interpretation

Deterministic rules

Supported context passes through applicability and provenance gates. Rules own classifications, scores, safety gates, and evidence.

04 / Model

Educational traces

Mechanistic sensitivity views stay trace-only. They do not select meal times, reorder recommendations, or establish patient-specific predictions.

05 / Optional AI

A bounded post-rule role

Explicit consent permits only rule-screened, non-BLOCK whitelist reranking or copy polish. Rule-owned results cannot be overridden.

06 / Review

Observatory & replay

Production-derived traces, static contracts, synthetic rule cases, and replay artifacts have separate evidence labels and limitations.

II. Demo route

Begin with a synthetic notebook.

Run the app with its local backend and a fresh synthetic profile. Keep personal records, real identifiers, credentials, and exports out of public demonstrations.

  1. 01

    Today → Library → Timeline

    Show the entry composer, source-aware catalog, and a synthetic record. An empty fresh state is valid; unsupported context should remain explicit.

  2. 02

    Next meal → explanations

    Supply a user-defined time window and inspect candidate rationale, missingness, and limitations. A withheld interpretation can be the correct bounded result.

  3. 03

    Algorithm Observatory

    Open it from the evidence group or command palette. Compare fixed non-personal fixtures and inspect explanation trees. Static registry contracts are not live trace observations.

  4. 04

    Synthetic rule test workbench

    Inspect authored expectations and actual assertions in a disposable workspace. Passing a case does not install a rule or establish clinical correctness.

  5. 05

    Verification & open boundaries

    Read the capability matrix and dated timeline. Distinguish a documented check from a recorded successful run and a proposal from an implemented feature.

III. Evidence limits

What the demonstration establishes.

A browser capture shows visible rendering at a recorded source state. A passing synthetic case establishes its scoped assertion. Neither establishes clinical validity, complete standards conformance, production readiness, or physical-device and accessibility acceptance.

The model is not clinically calibrated. ParkinSUM is not for diagnosis, treatment, medication timing, dose or diet guidance, patient care, or emergencies. Owner-entered records may contain sensitive information.
