B.1:4.5 - Existing-Whole Before MHT
Before declaring B.2 whole reidentification, ask whether the whole-level gain can be explained inside the existing whole:
- better parts;
- corrected part relation;
- improved measurement;
- role or method relation repair;
- work occurrence evidence repair;
- functional or architecture selected-structure repair;
- source, publication, or representation correction.
Use B.2 only when the whole itself must be reidentified.
