B.2.2:5 - Archetypal Grounding (Worked Cases)

B.2.2:5.1 - Search-And-Rescue Swarm

Before MHT, the project has individual drones with local navigation and maintenance records. After MHT, the current object may be one search-and-rescue swarm if the result whole has its own mission objective, coordination relation, external command relation, capability envelope, and swarm-level risks.

  • Candidate new whole: the search-and-rescue swarm named by B.2.
  • A.1 basis: exact drone constituents, obtaining formation and coverage-coordination relations, the governed swarm assembly, the swarm reidentification rule, and the whole-level area-search characteristic; its boundary, command and mission interfaces, operating characteristics, and identity-preservation conditions also fit the applicable larger rescue-system construction rule.
  • System criterion: the swarm has acting eligibility. This case also has its own command-and-operating-area delimitation, mission objective, coordination relations, and external commitments.
  • Assurance: swarm-level tests support claims about the candidate; individual drone certificates remain component evidence and do not establish the swarm facts.

The old drone evidence remains relevant, but it is not enough for the swarm-level assurance claim.

B.2.2:5.2 - Cloud Platform

Independent services become a platform only if the current claim concerns a result system: a shared control plane, system-level SLO, deployment and rollback coordination, platform-level evidence, and external commitments.

If the only change is a better dashboard or one more service, use architecture-description, publication, measurement, or component patterns. Use B.2.2 only when B.2 identifies the operating platform itself as the exact candidate new whole and that candidate passes A.1 plus the direct U.System criterion.

B.2.2:5.3 - Production Cell

A machine, robot, fixture, workpiece carrier, and inspection station can become a production cell when the cell has its own delimitation, objective, obtaining coordination relations, transformation structure, exact work occurrences, and capability envelope. Evidence separately supports the claims about those facts.

A fixture being manufactured as a workpiece is not part of the machine merely because the machine changes it. The production cell claim needs a result system; the manufacturing relation remains transformation and work.
