B.5.3:1 - Problem Frame

FPF keeps a small set of admitted U-kinds, ontics, slot relations, mechanisms, characteristics, methods, work values, epistemes, and publication-use relations. Working domains use their own words. A thermodynamicist says “system”, “macrostate”, “control volume”, and “free energy”; a safety engineer says “hazard”, “mitigation”, and “assurance case”; a software team says “service”, “endpoint”, and “release”.

Those words are useful. The problem starts when one local word is silently treated as a new root kind, a role assignment, a characteristic, a method, a work occurrence, an evidence relation, or a publication claim without saying which FPF value the claim uses.
