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.

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, or A.6.0 according 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.
