A.16.1:18 - Worked Cue Complexes and Practitioner Tests

A.16.1:18.1 - Mixed-source cue complex

A cue pack may combine trace refs, embodiment refs, model-state refs, and exemplar fragments. This is admissible provided the pack still identifies what unifies those grounds into one cue nucleus rather than using the pack as an unstructured container for unrelated fragments.

A.16.1:18.2 - Practitioner test for under-specified packs

A practitioner may ask: if the candidate-anchor and witness references were hidden, could a reader still name the cue nucleus and understand the preservation rationale? If what is being preserved remains unclear, the pack is under-specified and should be rewritten, retired, or not published yet.

A.16.1:18.3 - Practitioner test for covert endpoint capture

A practitioner should also ask whether every sentence in the pack would remain true if no endpoint test had passed, no later publication were available, and no actual authority relation had been established. If not, use the applicable endpoint, publication, or authority pattern, or rewrite the sentence back into preservation language.
