B.5.QD:4.6 - Separate question recognition from answer assurance

Recognize the opening from a changed possibility of inquiry. One worked counterexample or a useful new operation can be sufficient to begin developing the question.

Judge the question by whether it has a recoverable meaning, a possible contribution and a workable point of entry. Judge its proposed answer by the claim it makes. A conjecture, a proven relation, a simulated result and an observed physical effect support different uses. Apply their subject Methods and B.3 when the receiving use needs that assurance.

Reuse the question while its purpose and conditions remain applicable. Reopen it when a result changes its premises, available operations, attainable scope or intended use. A solved question can open another valuable one; an adequate answer can also end the present work.
