C.30.STRAT:4.1 - Recovery sequence

  1. Copy the sentence and label. Keep enough source context to tell what the sentence is doing.
  2. Try the cheap exits. If the word carries no FPF claim, keep ordinary prose or quote it and stop. If the source already gives the technical term one clear local meaning, keep that term and use its rule directly. If one local rewrite makes the meaning clear, write it and stop. A controlled vocabulary or preferred-word list is not by itself a reason to replace useful domain language.
  3. Recover plausible meanings. Treat the label as a designation, not as the object, relation, or claim. If it belongs to a named model, viewpoint, standard, or local vocabulary, recover that source-local convention first. Then ask which object, relation, participants or bearer, claim, scope, time, and source use the sentence could be compressing. Include literal and metonymic readings when both are plausible.
  4. Choose by the recovered meaning. Use the first matching row in C.30.STRAT:4.2; never choose from the label alone. A standard or model may settle the label inside its declared use, but neither its status nor its popularity extends that meaning to another subject or source.
  5. Open only the needed rule. Name the actual participants, relation, structure, characteristic, state, publication, evidence, work, decision, or other object that makes the claim true or false. Do not copy every possible field into the result.
  6. Return to ordinary wording. Write the shortest sentence that preserves the recovered claim and names the next pattern only when its contribution matters.
  7. State the stop. Give the allowed use, the next action, and the condition for stopping or returning. Include a blocked overread only when it passes F.19’s plausible-reader test. If no useful action survives, use quote-only, reduced-use, blocked, or incomplete-rewrite disposition.
