A.1.STM:3 - The attention map

Keep these regions visible. They are questions and result locations, not stages or fields of a record.

RegionPlain questionSubject pattern or honest stop
Outside change and useWhat should become different for a beneficiary or relying use?Use the relevant problem, plan, decision, promise, or description pattern. Return a missing or contested rationale when the expected use is not supported.
Project system-of-interestWhich system and boundary can support that use?Use A.1/A.1.SCR for an existing system and A.15.6 for project designation. Keep an intended future system in plan or description content until identity inception. Test any local system-role kind and system-role assignment separately under A.2/A.2.1.
Runtime transformation and system participationWhich exact environment or input referent actually changes in use, and how does an already existing project system-of-interest participate?Use A.3.4 for an actual bounded change of one continuing referent and the exact dynamics, interaction, causality, participation, or Work pattern for the system-side claim. Required behaviour, a use scenario, or an observed output proves no transformation. Causal or interaction participation supplies no work-facing assignment, Method, or Work.
Inside and architectureWhich internal organization could support the outside use?Use C.32.P2S and the C.30 family. Keep architecture choice, selected structures, actual structures, descriptions, and views distinct.
Making or changing systemsWhich Method, Work, existing materials or parts, production facts, and builder systems are needed?Use A.3.1, A.3.4, the A.15 family, A.15.PROD, and A.12. Do not transform a system before it exists or infer change from Method or Work alone.
Joint network and buildersWhich independently identified transformation-flow structures must be considered together for operation, production, identity inception, later change, verification, feedback, and recursive builders?Use E.18 for each TFS and E.18.NET only when exact cross-member relation occurrences and endpoint bindings obtain. Otherwise keep a Plain provisional map and name the missing member, governor, predicate result, occurrence, or binding.
Local contributionWhat is the team’s exact subject and which supported relations connect its result to release or use?Use the subject and relation patterns; use C.28 only for an actual causal-use claim. No generic contributesTo edge is implied.
Evidence, assurance, and returnWhat supports each load-bearing answer, what reliance is claimed, and what changed fact reopens it?Use A.10 for claim-bound evidence and B.3 only for a named assurance use. Reopen the smallest answer whose basis changed.

Read backward across these regions to justify a needed result and locate the first unsupported answer. This is logical attention, not didactic order, a WorkPlan, dated Work order, U.Transfer, or transformation direction.

Trace forward through independently grounded facts: performer systems and assignments, dated Work, changes of continuing referents, production participation, identity inception, completion, later use, and environment-side change. In the runtime region, identify the exact environment or input referent and its A.3.4 change separately from the direct causal, interaction, functioning, participation, or Work claim for the already existing project system-of-interest; add work-facing assignment, Method, or Work only when those claims separately obtain. These facts may occupy several TFS or network members. Shared identity or temporal adjacency connects none of them without a directly governed relation occurrence and its endpoint bindings.
