A.6.P.RI:1 - Problem frame

Use this pattern when an instruction or account depends on who says, reads or acts on it, and copying its words could change the intended object or action. “My left”, “our account”, “here”, “now” and an omitted actor can remain understandable to their originator while becoming ambiguous or misleading for another participant.

The subject is the interpretation and use of such an expression. Recover what it refers to at its source, decide what the receiving use must preserve, and connect the recipient to the relevant participant or position before deriving an action.

The first useful result is an interpretable account or instruction for the receiving work, or a specific missing reference or transfer condition. Sometimes it is enough to preserve an attributed report; sometimes another performer needs a different instruction to obtain the same result.

If the participants, relative expressions and intended action are already clear, proceed directly. Use this method where a difference of speaker, recipient, position, time or other reference condition could change what happens next.
