| Description stop | The project stops after producing a view set, diagram, ADR-like record, or architecture description even though no candidate structure, decision, realization, or feedback path is recoverable. | Return to step 2 or 5. Name selected or unknown structures, architecture characteristics, and the next pattern to use: C.30, C.30.ASV, C.32, or C.32.PAD. |
| Relation index P2S | The P2S artifact lists neighboring patterns but does not tell the architect what to do from pressure to subject-side actual structures recovered from facts that actually obtain. | Use the P2S method’s Plain action sequence to record only the currently relevant links in the card: pressure, structural uncertainty, candidates, retention or selection, decision, descriptions, method and work handoff, Work, actual changes, subject-side actual structures, feedback, and a return selected for the next question. |
| Eval-as-decision | An eval result, score, metric, telemetry event, or dashboard value selects the architecture. | Use C.32.ACE for the eval, C.16 for measurement, and C.25 for composite quality; ask what selected structure, accepted loss, counter-characteristic, or functional implication worsened; then use comparison, selected-set, local-choice, or C.32.PAD if selection or decision is current. |
| Hidden architecture-influence basis | The transformed-side candidate is designed as if no typed Work, communication, tool, method, deployment, evidence, selected-structure, or architecture-side source constrains it. | Open the architecture-influence branch and C.32.CONWAY; recover every source’s exact kind and obtaining direct relation or precise provisional disposition, then add candidate families that change the influence-source side, transformed side, both, or a bounded mismatch while keeping actor, Work, changed-referent, and transformation facts separate. |
| Lost structure left silent | The description, decision, method handoff, or eval report compresses away distinctions needed for later work. | Fill the P2S structural-information slots: what is captured, handed off, latent or hidden, lost, and what stronger-structure inspection return condition restores the selected or expected structure needed by the next claim. |
| Work-pattern takeover | P2S prose starts authorizing Work occurrences or replacing method, readiness, WorkPlan, or separate assertion or record epistemes about performed work. | Keep P2S as architecture carry-through. Use A.3.1 for Method identity, A.3.2 for MethodDescription membership, and A.15-family patterns for method-work alignment and work claims. Keep in the P2S card only references plus expected selected-structure effects. |
| Selected structure treated as actual | A decision, model, description, view, evaluation result, or matching label is used as proof that the selected structure obtains. | Recover the subject-side U.Structure under A.22 from its declared substrate and obtaining relation occurrences, applied constraints, invariants, or other selected-organization facts. Use C.30 ArchitectureRelation only when its holon and selected-structure participants satisfy the obtaining predicate; keep modal content in ArchitectureClaim. Keep descriptions and evaluations separate, and use the relevant patterns to test conformance. |
| Common work treated as one composite transformation | Mounting, wiring, connection, or commissioning changes are merged because one assembly work occurrence, selected configuration, or time interval contains them. | Identify every actual transformation independently under A.3.4; cite direct work-to-change facts; return the exact missing-governor blocker if the receiving claim needs transformation composition. |
