A.1.RI:4.1 - Recover the continuation question

State which object the observations may concern and what would count as its continuation through the interval or change. A continuing software service, one process run and one execution of a requested job have different boundaries. Choose the object required by the question.

Recover the relevant temporal and contextual scope. Coordinates need a frame; a local process number needs the system and naming scope in which it was issued. If the observations use different references, establish their correspondence before comparing values.

State the receiving use. Estimating one object’s displacement needs its association across observations. Estimating the mean position of a fixed observed population can leave those associations unresolved.
