B.5.2:17 - Migration and Boundary Notes

B.5.2:17.1 - Migration from anomaly monopoly

Older wording that says abduction begins only from anomaly should be rewritten into the broader but still typed claim: abduction begins from an admissible U.AbductivePrompt, of which anomaly is one canonical species.

B.5.2:17.2 - Migration from inspiration rhetoric

Legacy prose that describes abduction as a flash, leap, or raw creative moment may remain as didactic metaphor, but it should not be used as the operational description of the pattern. The operational core is typed prompt -> rival set -> plausibility filtering -> prime hypothesis publication.

B.5.2:17.3 - Boundary to deduction and evidence

B.5.2 ends with a qualified prime conjecture or an explicit abort, defer or split outcome. Deduction, evidence acquisition, synthesis, assurance and action choice remain separate questions. Naming their possible contribution states a downstream-use boundary; it does not require a new experiment, guarantee its availability or prevent a present decision already supported on other grounds.
