B.4:9 - Consequences
Benefits
Trade-offs / Mitigations
Creates a learning architecture: The loop gives repeated adaptation a readable structure and connects learning to actual change.
Record overhead: A full trace is too heavy for many local changes. Mitigation: keep the account proportional to the receiver and expand it only for reliance, assurance, audit, or replay.
Exposes design-reality divergence: Separate phase outputs make stale descriptions, failed deployment, and missing renewed use visible.
No automatic success: The loop cannot guarantee reconciliation. Deployment can fail, evidence can overturn a candidate, and renewed use can reveal another problem.
Makes evolution auditable: Named subjects, Systems, Work, identity relations, and evidence let a reviewer reconstruct why a change was made.
Several patterns remain necessary: B.4 coordinates their results; it does not replace the subject’s identity, Work, evidence, publication, or acceptance patterns.
