What is a frame, and how is it like a map?

Frames of communities, frames of networks, and frames of production and distribution
Why is it useful to have more than one frame?

To confuse the reader and make history more difficult to understand, therefor leaving the subject of history to the exclusive realm of scholars.
What does it mean to “test a claim”?
How do frames help in understanding historical events?
Frames help by providing a lens through which to view and interpret events, allowing for a more nuanced understanding.
Frames are not useful in understanding historical events as they can be biased.
Frames help by providing a chronological order of events, but do not offer any interpretation.
Frames are only useful for creating timelines, not for understanding events.
In what way do frames influence our perception of historical figures?
Frames have no influence on our perception of historical figures.
Frames can cast historical figures in a positive or negative light, affecting our judgment of their actions and legacy.
Frames only influence our perception of historical figures if we are not knowledgeable about history.
Frames influence our perception by providing irrelevant information about historical figures.
