B.2.4:4.1 - Start From Exact Facts, Claims, And Support
- Name the exact existing whole and its direct identity or reidentification rule.
- Identify each exact capability envelope, obtaining functioning relation, or selected in-life transformation-flow structure under its subject pattern. Keep method, method description, work plan, work occurrence, module allocation, characteristic, and architecture facts separate when they are current.
- State the exact claim made about those facts. Name evidence or measurement only as a separate relation that supports, challenges, or leaves that claim unresolved.
- Perform B.2’s ordinary existing-whole comparison. Better measurement, component improvement, Method or Work repair, allocation repair, or architecture-view repair can leave the same whole in place.
- If a residual whole-reidentification question remains, use B.2 for it. B.2 then identifies one exact candidate new whole, applies the complete A.1 and kind-specific criteria, and compares that candidate with the existing whole.
B.2.4 adds no result species. If a receiving use needs a durable account, use B.2’s optional C.2.1 epistemes; their content neither creates the direct facts nor selects the new whole.
