C.32.ACE:12 - Relations

• Builds on: C.32.HCS, C.32.ACS, C.16, C.16.P, C.25, A.2.6, A.19, E.13, E.22, E.23, and A.19.CPM; coordinates with A.3.1, A.3.2, A.15.2, A.15.1, and A.6.1 only for separately current Method, MethodDescription, planned Work, dated Work, or operation-application claims.
• Receiving uses: C.32.P2S actual-structure feedback and next-synthesis repair, C.32 candidate synthesis, C.32.MLAO residual optimization, C.32.CONWAY correspondence frames, C.32.FAIL repair, A.19.CPM comparison, A.19.SelectorMechanism selection, C.11 local choice, selected-set result declaration under G.5, source-backed publication-face and source-return work under E.17, publication-occurrence and audience-availability work under E.24.PUB, and architecture-decision work for C.32.PAD.
• Measurement boundary: Use C.16 when a reading, coordinate, unit, threshold, score, uncertainty, or cross-case comparability claim is made.
• Structural-information boundary: For an eval, these contributions are available only after C.32.ACS, C.16, or C.25 has declared what is being evaluated: C.33 and C.34 for captured structure, lost structure, and preservation adequacy, and C.35 for recovering the kind of a generated or discovered result and assessing its adequacy for that architecture use. Use C.32.ACE for the eval-program frame, and accept each actual typed result under its own measurement, comparison, evaluation, or assertion definition and test. C.33, C.34, and C.35 do not define eval programs.
• Q-Bundle boundary: Use C.25 when the evaluated item is a composite quality family.
• Test boundary: Use test only as an eval operation for a declared expectation or hard constraint. Error recognition and architecture-synthesis repair use C.32.FAIL; non-architecture defects use the local defect-subject pattern.
• Decision boundary: An evaluation framed by an ACE record may reference separately admitted readings, ranks, dominance relations, trade-off-front descriptions, and other typed results. When such a result is current, identify the admitted System, dated evaluation Work, applicable operation application, and the definition and test used for that exact measurement, comparison, evaluation, or assertion result. Such a result may serve as source material for an A.10 evidence-provenance account when an evidence claim is current. Use A.19.CPM for explicit comparison, A.19.SelectorMechanism for set-returning selection, C.11 for local choice, G.5 for selected-set result declaration, and C.32.PAD for a project architecture decision. When audience availability is current, use E.17 for a source-backed publication face and return to source and E.24.PUB for the publication occurrence, form, carrier, audience, bounded use, and availability.
