C.19.2:11 - SoTA-Echoing

Practice questionCurrent practice and sourceFPF alignmentDisposition
How much reasoning effort repays its cost?Resource-rational analysis ties computation to action value under bounded resources (Lieder & Griffiths 2020, with Russell & Wefald 1991 as lineage).The useful-result threshold and non-dominated next move govern setup and application work. The repeated-handoff and one-off cases show the practical difference.Adapt. FPF retains multiple separately defined dimensions rather than one universal value-of-computation scalar.
Should ontology/formality be complete before use?Demand-driven incremental formalization starts from useful work and deepens when use repays it (Shipman & McCall 1999, still current as the named HCI/knowledge-base precursor).The one-apparatus path allows value before total configuration, with reopen on recurrence, failure, automation, or stronger guarantee.Adopt as continuing lineage. No HOS tool or single formality ladder is imported.
Do different questions warrant different apparatus and outputs?Current competency-question work distinguishes purposes and expected products rather than imposing one ontology checklist (Keet & Khan 2024).Eligibility is tied to one declared use/result/guarantee; the pattern does not universalize one method or checklist.Adapt. Question differentiation changes candidate eligibility and return.
How should concern and purpose constrain a model or architecture description?ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2022 keeps concerns, stakeholders, viewpoints, and architecture descriptions explicit without prescribing one tool.Declared use, guarantee, and direct result keep apparatus application purpose-bound while subject patterns retain their kinds.Adapt. Use the purpose/concern discipline without importing architecture-description ontology into every apparatus.

These sources change the positive method: the user starts from a result, may obtain value before total configuration, opens choice only for a live set, and reopens when use economics or guarantee changes. They do not license prestige ranking, tool mandates, or a universal apparatus kind.
