A.22:4.8 - Worked slices

Maintenance-isolation structure selection. A planner needs to choose which relations matter when isolating a pump skid for maintenance.

named selection use: choose isolation points before Pump_37 maintenance
constituents: independently identified Pump_37, Motor_12, Valve_In_4, Valve_Out_4, and Bus_7
selected obtaining relations: exact installed-with, connected-to, supplied-by, and upstream-of occurrences that currently satisfy their defining predicates
applied constraints: isolate every live energy and material path to Pump_37; retain only relations relevant to this isolation use
selecting system: MaintenancePlanner_A
method and work: IsolationStructureSelectionMethod enacted in SelectionWork_2026-07-25
selected structure: Pump37_MaintenanceIsolationStructure
admissible action: prepare the isolation sequence from the selected paths
stop: reopen selection when a constituent, selected occurrence, or isolation constraint changes

Pump37_MaintenanceIsolationStructure is identified by the exact constituents, exact selected obtaining occurrences, applied isolation constraints, and maintenance-isolation use frame. SelectionWork_2026-07-25, the enacted method, and any C.2.1 episteme that records the judgment remain separate. A C.29 graph may represent the same organization, while the direct predicates of the selected relation occurrences remain its obtaining basis. A visually identical graph with an unestablished connection remains a representation candidate.

Architecture kernel slice. A team says, “the architecture is the graph.” Recover the selected structure and the graph’s exact reliance relation:

declaredStructureSubstrateRef: TransformationFlowStructureRef under E.18, with mathematical graph description under E.18.2 when that expression is the current claim
candidate structure: selected transformation-flow structure
structure-claim reliance relation: selected relation record named by value(
  sourceDescriptionOrPatternApplicationRef = SourceViewRef, structure or crossing record selected under E.18, or E.18.2 mathematical graph description,
  relationContribution = E.18 selected-structure or crossing definition | A.6.6 base-dependence test | independently established support relation recovered through A.10 provenance and bounded-use account | C.29 mathematical-lens result, chosen for the claim being made,
  relationKind = source-description | base-dependence | evidence | lens, selected for this reliance,
  validationBoundary = graph-path currentness boundary, slice currentness boundary, or crossing currentness boundary
)
next FPF pattern application: C.30.TFS-REL when this selected structure is used in an architecture-to-transformation-flow relation
stop or return condition: stop at the selected reliance relation's result; for a Work, evidence, gate, or decision claim, apply its specific test in A.22:4.7
non-admissible use: the graph as the whole architecture

The practitioner can now use the graph through the selected source-description, base-dependence, evidence, or lens relation and route the architecture claim to C.30.TFS-REL.

Extracted code structure slice. A code-agent relation graph or probe JSON reports imports, calls, registry wiring and data-flow links. Recover the source codebase or publication, extraction method, preserved and lost structure, validation boundary and structure-use return condition. That establishes the declared extraction result only. For an A.6.3 epistemic-viewing claim, identify source episteme X and receiving episteme Y, their same EntityOfConcern, and the projected or re-expressed ClaimGraph and ReferenceScheme. Qualify Y as a U.View only when the applicable E.17.0 viewpoint conformance independently obtains. A claim about the codebase architecture, internal agent belief, assurance or release readiness still needs its own evidence and governing predicate.

ExtractedStructuralView@Context:
  sourceCorpusOrTraceRefs: repo snapshot, probe outputs, traces
  preservedStructure: selected typed relation families
  lostStructure: unexplored regions, dynamic calls, hidden generated code, ambiguous relation kinds
  validationBoundary: probe coverage and source codebase or publication edition
  structureUseReturnCondition: when an architecture decision, assurance use, or repair depends on a relation not observed by the extraction
