A.1.SCR:4.1 - State the system-dependent decision

Start with four plain statements:

1. the claim you are trying to use;
2. the exact entity proposed as actor, change bearer, capability holder, persistent subject, or project system-of-interest;
3. the decision or action that would differ if this entity were or were not a system; and
4. the observation, boundary fact, or construction fact that would settle that difference.

Do not use bare system candidate as a working noun. Before referent recovery say the proposed system reading of the phrase. Once an actual referent is identified, say the exact U.Entity being evaluated under the already admitted U.System kind. Say an alternative being considered for designation as the project system-of-interest only when one named project plan or decision compares possible referents.
