A.15.7:4.1 - Keep the two Method positions distinct

The domain Method is the reusable way whose current enactment is being steered. It states the applicable way of doing, participant meanings, intended result or preserved condition, allowed variation, and stops.

The steering Method supplied here uses current facts to choose one next action within those limits.

Usually, one current Work occurrence may enact the domain Method and, when this steering Method is actually used, also enact the steering Method. Before either claim, use A.13 to identify the actual performer and A.15.1 to admit the dated Work independently. If this account must also say under which assignment the Work was performed, check that relation separately through F.6. Ground each enactsMethod claim separately; neither follows from the other. If the choice must be treated as a smaller Work occurrence, identify its own performer and Work basis and state its relation to the larger Work only when that relation actually obtains.

A domain Method may instead be an admitted composite containing the steering Method as a submethod. That requires the identity of both Methods and an exact composition relation under A.3.1 and B.1.5 or another direct composition rule. Method composition still does not prove that a particular Work occurrence enacted the submethod.

Reading this pattern, consulting a MethodDescription, following a plan, or receiving a recommendation does not by itself establish those Method, composition, or enactment claims.
