A.10.1:4.5 - Apply Direct Subject Guidance and Keep the Result Independent

Discovery and reach classification prepare the branch for subject judgment. A practitioner or admitted System applies the direct subject pattern’s concrete rule or test to each depends branch. Recover or recheck facts about current conditions, evidence, authority, cost, and Work only where those facts can change the independently governed result.

A practitioner or admitted System may, by applying the direct subject rule or test, narrow or reject the proposed affected reach. Keep the independently obtained result on its existing direct route: the engineering source-change result governed by SYSE.19 goes to SYSE.14; revision feedback governed by FIN.17 goes to FIN.4; and the assumption-impact result governed by STR.2 goes to STR.3 and STR.4.

When a common account is needed, it cites independently governed subject results and is never their own input. The information dependency is:

material source change → needed discovery and reach → application of direct subject guidance → independently governed subject result → common account, if a further receiving use needs it
