A.1:9 - Consequences

Positive consequences:

  • FPF can talk about physical systems, organizations, documents, theories, models, work occurrences, disciplines, research programs, and selected structures without making them all systems or holons.
  • Acting work stays attached to systems in roles.
  • Epistemes can be described, compared, published, and relied on; revision Work yields another episteme when claim content changes.
  • Architecture and selected-structure claims gain a grounding holon.
  • Collection-as-whole and acting collective claims become inspectable instead of lexical.

Costs:

  • Practitioners pay the cost of replacing umbrella uses of “system”, “boundary”, “interaction”, “level”, “emergence”, and “collection” with exact governed claims.
  • A reviewable holon-recognition claim states the exact constituents, construction, reidentification, larger-assembly compatibility, whole-level characteristic, admitted kind, and subject pattern on which it relies.
  • Some familiar sentences need repair: “the document decided” becomes a claim about the deciding U.System, the direct decision relation or admitted Work, and an episteme or publication. A Work claim requires the A.13 performer core even when a short account leaves it recoverable rather than restating it; an ordinary direct decision or change account stays with its subject pattern.
