B.1.5:1.1 - Composition Question And Object Boundaries

U.Method is a non-agentive method holon kind. A method can have submethods and can participate as a submethod in a larger method. This does not mean every step-looking node, document section, file module, graph edge, work-plan item, or work occurrence is a method part.

Order-sensitive method composition is a narrow constructive question:

Given independently recovered U.Method parts,
which methodPartOf occurrences, exact whole-forming claims, and constraints qualify one already identified candidate as composite,
and what whole-level commitments let a practitioner identify, reidentify, and enact that method?

The whole method is not the diagram, code, schedule, event log, card, or work history that may describe, plan, record, or evidence it. Work enacts the method; the method does not perform work. An A.22-selected U.Structure may organize several methods and obtaining relations for one use without constructing another method.

Gamma_method is the name for this method-composition discipline. It is not a new root U-kind, not a workflow notation, not a generic container, not a resource-accounting operator, and not a substitute for U.Work.
