A.6.P.RI:11 - SoTA-Echoing

The practice question is how an explicit shared account becomes usable by an agent whose position differs from its source. The method recovers the source reference, chooses what the receiving use preserves and connects the recipient to the account. Its serious alternative is to make all participants explicit and assume that this alone determines the receiving instruction.

Adapt the distinction between common descriptions and agent-relative use. Partridge and colleagues, Ontology then Agentology (2018), §§2–4 and Figure 2, distinguish the reusable form of an account from its agent-dependent content and add a link identifying the system itself. This supports the self-identification required in §§4.2 and 4.5. It is a conceptual source, not evidence about human learning or current robot performance.

The crate case shows why this pattern also states the preservation condition in §4.3. Even correct source interpretation and self-identification leave two different possible tasks: preserve the displacement or repeat the relative movement. This is the pattern’s methodological synthesis, rather than a result attributed to that paper.

Reuse representation and retargeting methods under their own conditions. A.6.3.RT is sufficient when the receiving use needs only a representation change under already available bindings. A.6.4 is needed when the independently identified EntitiesOfConcern differ.

Use the simpler direct clarification when it already settles the action. Reopen the construction when it cannot determine which reference changed, when the recipient cannot bind itself to the supplied account, or when the intended preservation condition fails under changed use. Technical conversion and learning methods require their own current subject evidence.
