A.3.1.MR:5 - Archetypal Grounding
A.3.1.MR:5.1 - Pump-inspection recovery
Four independently grounded pump-inspection Work occurrences have video, sensor logs, technician notes, and known performer assignments. Three show the same inspection order. The fourth begins with a vibration cue and reverses two checks.
An analyst applying the recovery Method distinguishes two possible reusable ways under the plant’s current inspection vocabulary: a fixed order with an undocumented exception, and a cue-responsive order. Each candidate gets its own account episteme, candidate subject, interpretation scheme, and source-to-claim support. The account notes that the video misses a tactile check named in interviews and that successful outcomes alone do not distinguish the candidates.
A fifth occurrence is held out. Whether the technician changes order when the vibration cue is present can separate the accounts. Until then, both remain candidates; neither trace nor account is a MethodDescription.
If that held-out occurrence and the remaining evidence support the cue-responsive account while the fixed-order rival no longer fits, recovery can return one candidate account ready for the A.3.1 identity test.
A.3.1.MR:5.2 - Process-mining replay
The same team names its event-data preparation Method: select inspection start and completion events from the source files, name activities under the plant vocabulary, correlate records by pump and maintenance visit, and collapse duplicate sensor bursts under a stated rule. It cites the selected configuration because that configuration affects the result. Dated preparation Work on the named files produces an event-log episteme about the selected event-data collection.
If the correlation key, configuration, or source window cannot be recovered, the result is that limitation—not a raw-fact log. A separately named discovery Method returns a behavioural-model episteme with observed variants. Candidate-Method recovery then adds the two candidate reusable-way accounts, the missing tactile contribution, the record-only branch, and the fifth-occurrence question.
A.3.1.MR:5.3 - Record-only lowering
Three timestamped records show that one operator checked A before B on three shifts, but the performer assignments, applicability, source window, and purpose of the sequence cannot be grounded. The useful result is an observed sequence in those records and a list of missing facts. It is not a candidate Method account, Method, or MethodDescription.
A.3.1.MR:5.4 - A current account without another investigation
In a constructed continuation of the pump-inspection case, the supervisor needs only to compare the two candidate explanations against the four existing records before deciding how to organize the instruction material. The fixed-order and cue-responsive accounts, their separate subjects, source support and missing tactile contribution are enough for that limited comparison. Both remain provisional. No new question, fifth visit or research plan is needed to complete the requested account.
If the receiving use changes to deciding whether to retain the fixed inspection order when a vibration cue is present, the cue response becomes a load-bearing distinction. State the question and preserve the unresolved boundary even when a fifth visit is unavailable. Select an actual investigation only if a suitable performer, source access, permission and window make useful discrimination worth its whole burden. Neither the useful question nor an available plan admits a Method or supplies an observed answer.
