A.6.F:4.1 - Trigger rule

A.6.F applies when function-like wording may carry one or more of these independently established readings. The list is a recognition and dispatch palette, not a U.* kind, claim kind, relation kind, or admission result:

The familiar estimate of roughly seven meanings is only a recall cue, not a fixed count. Several entries below unfold into different objects, claims, and relations, function wording often transfers metonymically among them, and one occurrence may carry more than one reading. Recover what the sentence actually says rather than assigning it to a numbered meaning.

• architecture or functional architecture;
• capability, effect, externally promised behavior, or user-visible functionality;
• method wording, work occurrence, or work result;
• a system-role kind or assignment, participation, actual functioning, or responsibility;
• mathematical function, mapping, relation, loss, objective, or value functional;
• quality, fitness, characteristic, score, or proxy wording;
• module allocation, interface, signature, port, API, protocol, flow, or mechanism relation;
• another independently established claim named by value, such as evidence, assurance, gate, decision, or release.

If none of those readings carries a current FPF claim, the wording may remain ordinary Plain prose.
