A.3.1:4.3 - Method, MethodDescription, WorkPlan, Work
Keep the four positions separate.
| Position | What it means | Common mistaken substitutes |
|---|---|---|
U.Method | how in principle, for stated participants, applicability, conditions, effects, and bounds | code, SOP, graph, solver model, proof script, workflow diagram |
U.MethodDescription | an episteme that describes a method in a representation | method semantics, actual run, authority to work |
U.WorkPlan | planned dated work or work preparation | timeless method, generic recipe, proof that work happened |
U.Work | admitted kind for dated Work occurrences; one Work individual is one world-side occurrence | method, plan, result interpretation, evidence relation, or record about the occurrence |
The same solver model, repository, protocol, diagram, or run packet may figure in several claims, so say what each sentence is about. The solver-model episteme may describe a method; its mathematical representation may expose a C.29 formal substrate; a dated solver run may be Work; and a measurement or evaluation result may support another claim through its evidence relation.
