A.6.A:4.3 - Interpretation menu
Consider these candidate meanings and any source-local alternative that can change the result. The menu helps recover a claim; it does not select its truth conditions by classification.
ActionInvitationSense token | Use when the action-first phrase means… | Possible useful form | Typical substrate | Must not be silently collapsed into |
|---|---|---|---|---|
AIS.PhysicalAffordance | a physical or environmental configuration offers a bodily action to an embodied agent | CuePack or ActionOption | ecological-world-coupled or embodied-kinesthetic | site-participant property alone, generic capability, executed work |
AIS.InterfaceAffordance | an operator-interface element, operator panel, alarm, or publication face presents an operator move | ActionOption or PolicyHook | symbolic-local or hybrid | duty or commitment, execution log |
AIS.SocialAffordance | another agent or social situation invites a response or coordination move | CuePack or ActionOption | embodied-kinesthetic or hybrid | role assignment itself, deontic commitment |
AIS.EpistemicProbe | a problem situation invites asking, contrasting, measuring, testing, or instrumenting | ActionOption or OptionSet | hybrid | explanatory merit, evidence claim, finished method |
AIS.ClosureAdvance | a situation invites naming, rescoping, proxy declaration, or formalization toward closure | ActionOption | symbolic-local or hybrid | Formality F, acceptance status, quality ascription |
AIS.LatentPolicyCue | a learned or distributed state carries an action-oriented tendency not yet locally articulated | CuePack or OptionSet | latent-distributed or hybrid | explicit rationale, control adequacy, quality claim |
AIS.ControlOpportunity | a closed-loop state invites braking, rollback, replanning, isolation, escalation, or override | OptionSet or PolicyHook | hybrid | bare “model wants”, obligation, work occurrence |
Using the menu.
- In ecological and embodied contexts, consider the physical-opportunity reading, while checking whether the claim instead concerns its perception or detection.
- In operator-interface, alarm, or operator-panel contexts, consider the interface-prompt and control-option readings, retaining both only when the sentence makes both claims. If the wording instead claims module interface, functional port, API, protocol, signature, interface specification, or service-access compatibility, use
A.6.RSIR,A.6.M,A.6.F, orA.6.0according to the recovered EoC rather than treating the cue as an action invitation. - In epistemic exploration contexts, “this suggests probing, formalizing, or reframing” can mean an inquiry question, candidate investigation or proposed clarification. Recover that result directly.
- In learned world-model, active-inference, or policy contexts, consider a learned policy tendency and a control option as different readings. A model state does not by itself establish a control decision, duty or performed action.
- If the sentence is chiefly about better, worse, fit, or merit, use C.16.Q instead of A.6.A.
