soctheory-conceptual-exhibits
Use when building the figures and typologies of a Sociological Theory (ST) manuscript — mechanism diagrams, process models, 2x2 typologies, and concept maps that carry theoretical work (never regression tables or data plots). Designs conceptual exhibits; it does NOT build the underlying theory (soctheory-theory-construction) or write the prose (soctheory-writing-style).

# Conceptual Exhibits: Typologies, Mechanism Diagrams, Process Models (soctheory-conceptual-exhibits)
## When to trigger
- The theory is built and you need a figure or typology to make it legible
- Your figure is "boxes and arrows" with no readable mechanism
- A typology's cells are not all distinct, defined concepts
- You are tempted to include a data plot or a results table (ST has neither)
> Every exhibit at ST is **conceptual**. There are no regression tables, no scatterplots, no
> coefficient figures — ST does not test, so it has nothing to plot. The exhibit must carry
> *theoretical* work: it shows a mechanism, a process, or a classification that the prose alone
> conveys less clearly.
