Analysis
Nine units, with mechanics units 1–4 identical to Punjab's and KP's — that core is genuinely national — and one unit no other board gives standalone space: Unit 8, Energy Sources and Transfer of Energy, framing energy through renewable and non-renewable resources and efficiency. A1 is 1 on the strongest evidence in the corpus: not one religious token in 223 pages, and no bismillah. This is the most secular book examined, and it is the direct control against KP's Physics 9, which opens Chapter 1 with a "QURAAN AND PHYSICS" page before any physics content. A7 5 is again absence rather than prescription — one female-marked token in 44,833 words. Climate change is mentioned zero times. The practical warning is a defect in the book itself: its own contents page prints only eight rows and omits Unit 8 entirely, which exists and opens at PAGE 180. Anyone reconstructing the syllabus from the printed TOC will drop a unit.

Measured scores
Axes not listed were not scored for this book — coverage is uneven by design. All axes run 1–5, where 1 is the secular/pluralist/open pole. See the method.
Evidence recorded 1
Three kinds, deliberately styled apart. A quotation is verbatim wording and is only ever taken from English-medium text. An observation describes structure or theme — the only kind permitted for Urdu and Sindhi material, which this project never quotes. An absence is a negative result: a probe was run and returned nothing, which is the weakest claim made anywhere on this site.
absence religion lens A1 = 1 English OCR #e01
A negative result. It records that a probe was run and found nothing — not that the thing is not in the book. Where this rests on Urdu material the correct reading is not established, never absent, because degraded Nastaliq OCR cannot tell those apart.
Every passage recorded for this book is shown above — nothing is withheld or truncated. Each item has a permanent anchor, so a single piece of evidence can be linked and disputed on its own.
Findings that cite this book 1
Religionhigh confidence
Sindh's classes 6 and 7 are the most secular books anywhere in the corpus — its English readers contain no religious selection at all — and its class 9–10 Pakistan Studies is among the most religious. It climbs further between class 7 and class 10 than any other board.
A finding states and cites; it does not argue. The argument is in the studies. Where a finding has counter-evidence it is printed above, in the same block, because a finding that hides its counter-evidence is a worse finding rather than a stronger one.

The checksum is of the exact file these findings were computed from, so anyone can prove they hold the same bytes. The retrieval date is when this copy was fetched to the project's own disk, not a formal web-archive capture. Boards and mirrors reprint and reorganise continuously, so a source link may not resolve, and may not serve the same edition if it does. The bibliographic record above — board, class, subject, medium, curriculum, edition, approval reference and page count — is what identifies the book; the link is a convenience. This project does not republish the PDF itself, for the copyright reasons set out in about.
Identifiers and permanent link

| Permanent link | /books/stbb-physics-9-en/ |
| This record as data | /books/stbb-physics-9-en.json · whole dataset |
The record ID is an accession number that happens to be readable. It never changes, even if the metadata encoded in it turns out to be wrong — if this book's board, class, subject or medium is corrected, the correction appears in the fields above and the ID stays as it is. That is the only way a link made today still resolves in ten years. The full rule is in the standards.

If the edition is misidentified, a score does not survive its evidence, the source link is wrong, or a passage is unfairly characterised, that is worth reporting and will be acted on whether or not the correction suits the argument. Corrections are published in the corrections log, never quietly patched. This applies fully to the board that publishes this book: any reply will appear beside the finding it concerns, under the right of reply.
