B.2:11 - Decision-bearing SoTA account

Practical questionExact primary sourceAdopt, adapt, or reject in B.2Exact effect in this pattern
When may a configured production arrangement be treated as a distinct operating whole?Bartels et al., Dependable Cyber-Physical Matrix Production Systems Utilizing Holonic Multi-agent Systems (2025), and Macherki et al., QHAR: Q-Holonic-Based Architecture for Self-Configuration of Cyber-Physical Production Systems (2021), with a tested reconfiguration case.Adopt the practical need to recover exact entities, flows, coordination, dynamic interdependence, control organization, and reconfiguration purpose. Reject a named holonic architecture, control layer, or reconfiguration event as sufficient whole identity.Sections 4 and 5.1 require actual constituents, obtaining constructive relations, boundary, objective, whole-level characteristic, reidentification rule, and larger-assembly compatibility before A.1 recognition.
What separates inputs, construction, and the resulting whole?Florio and Linnebo, Introduction to Constructional Ontology (2024), and Borgo and Righetti, Towards Applied Constructional Ontology (2025).Adopt the separation among accepted inputs, constitutive organization, and resulting identity. Adapt it to FPF’s direct part relations, assembly, reidentification rule, and admitted holon kinds. Reject a trigger profile, record, tuple, or Method label as the constructor that makes the whole exist.Sections 1, 4, 4.3, and 5 distinguish world-side construction from comparison and record epistemes.
How should agency bear on whole reidentification?Michael Levin, Technological Approach to Mind Everywhere (2022).Adopt non-binary, multi-characteristic, empirically tested agency and multi-scale competency as possible evidence about a system. Reject an agency label or threshold as a root kind or automatic new-whole result.Section 4.5 keeps agency as one possible trigger whose direct characteristics must affect closure, objective, supervision, or identity.
What can a multiscale mathematical signal contribute?Akhtyrchenko, Katsnelson, and Ustyuzhanin, Directing Open-Ended Evolution in Artificial Life via Multi-Scale Path Divergence (v2, 3 August 2026), defines MSPD over realized trajectories as a multiscale analytical and optimization measure.Adopt MSPD as a possible exact analytical input when its trajectory assumptions match the case. Reject a high MSPD, RG-like score, graph pattern, or benchmark jump as whole reidentification.Sections 0, 4.7, and 8 route the mathematical result through C.29 and still require the B.2 identity comparison.

These sources answer different questions. None supplies a universal emergence detector. Popular modeling languages and generic architecture standards are not used as decision authority here because they do not decide when the same whole ends and another begins.
