A.3.2:4.4 - Method-description acceptance and use boundaries

A project may accept, regulate, prefer, deprecate, or forbid a method description for one stated use, organization, or policy scope. Record that separate publication, gate, authority, or policy claim under its own pattern. It does not establish U.MethodDescription membership.

When a method description is used to prepare or enact work, keep the chain explicit:

  1. C.2.1 identifies one episteme through its claim content, exact EntityOfConcern, and effective U.ReferenceScheme; A.3.2 judges that same episteme to be U.MethodDescription. Plainly saying that the method description describes the method is shorthand for this constitution and membership judgment, not another binary relation occurrence.
  2. U.WorkPlan may cite that episteme when preparing dated work.
  3. Recover each performing U.System and its obtaining assignment of a local agential system-role kind under A.13. A.15.1 independently admits the dated Work and its enactsMethod relation to the Method. If precise assignment-bound attribution is claimed, F.6 performedUnderAssignment uses that same obtaining assignment of a separately declared U.SystemRoleAssignment species. A separate assertion cites methodDescriptionRef only when its claim depends on that edition.
  4. The word result is only a cue. Ask which claim is being made: an A.6.1 application returned a value, a referent changed under A.3.4, Work produced something under A.15.PROD, or a measurement, evaluation, delivery, or acceptance occurred. If the use needs a Work-to-result relation and no exact predicate is defined for it, keep Work and result separate and state missing-predicate[work-to-result]. A log, trace, measurement, or result episteme supports another claim only through its evidence relation.
