B.5.2:9 - Consequences

Benefit	Trade-off / Mitigation
Disciplined generativity. Abduction stays inventive without collapsing into formless conjecturing.	Requires explicit prompt and filter publication; mitigation: the required record can remain lightweight.
Traceable hypothesis origin. Later review can reconstruct why a conjecture entered the reasoning cycle.	Adds a small provenance-support load; mitigation: reuse prompt and candidate-set notes from adjacent patterns.
Cleaner downstream use. A hypothesis-bearing episteme gives the receiving question its scope, rivals, support and limitations.	A candidate can remain useful without being confirmed or receiving a universal level; a stronger claim still needs its own evidence.
Admissible reopening. Rival candidates can be revisited when later work undermines the selected prime hypothesis.	Demands editorial discipline so that abandoned rivals remain legible rather than silently vanishing.
