A.15.4:9.3 - Lowering, Repair, and Refresh Conditions

Lower an A.15.4 use when the attempted Work or reliance claim, required relation or result, relying context or window, or one required evidence, gate, assurance, system-role assignment, assignment state, Work, publication, boundary, permission, or authority object selected in §3 cannot be recovered. The lowered use is orientation, source-finding, contested use, bounded reversible probe, repair request, or blocked unsupported claim.

Repair the local note or persisted claim when its appearance, source currentness, revocation, source order, dashboard or credential publication, copied or generated source relation, boundary wording, or work-result cue changes. Repair the recovered value through the applicable evidence, assurance, gate, constraint, system-role-assignment, assignment-state, Work, publication, boundary, permission, or authority pattern named in §3; A.15.4 does not replace the repair defined there.

Refresh before allowing the reliance appearance to guide release, safety, compliance, a delegated system-role-assignment or assignment-state claim, contested source relation, cross-context reuse, work-result reliance, external-impact reliance, or irreversible Work. Stop at the smallest changed prerequisite or source relation: reliance appearance, selected source U.Episteme for the current claim, exact EpistemePublicationRelation occurrence when availability is material, publication form or carrier when either changed, required relation or result, source-currentness relation, system-role-assignment-state assertion or its evidence or currentness relation, credential-status record, context-state record, revocation record, gate relation, evidence relation, assurance relation, copied-source relation, generated-source relation, or Work relation.
