Note. The figure is intended as a heuristic synthesis rather than a sequential, exhaustive or prescriptive model. It summarises how the themes relate under low-verbal aquatic conditions by illustrating how referent trust can establish relational conditions for expert demonstration and brief informational scaffolding, while bounded authority remains available for safety-critical and standard-setting moments.
