A.22:5 - Archetypal Grounding

Tell-Show-Show rowGrounding
TellA practitioner sees an arrangement that matters but does not yet know whether it is a diagram, a model, a graph, an architecture claim, a source description, base-dependence relation, evidence relation, lens relation, or decision. A.22 asks first: which exact constituents and obtaining relations are selected, under which applied constraints and named use frame, and what loss changes the next action?
Show: U.SystemIn a plant, vehicle, software system, or neural-network model, the selected structure may be transformation-flow, control, module-interface structure, placement, information, scale, or declared logical structure. The structure record does not become the system and does not prove that the system is safe, maintainable, or ready.
Show: U.EpistemeA paper, model, generated relation graph, dashboard, architecture note, or mathematical-lens output may describe or present a description of selected structure. A selected-structure claim may rely on that description through a source-description relation or an A.6.6 base-dependence relation. The episteme, view, and publication remain separate from the structure and from each relied-on relation; name that relation and its validation and structure-use return boundaries.
