C.36.MC:4.5 - Make a practice recoverable and changeable by its recipients
Begin with the receiving work. Recover what the practitioners need to obtain and which decisions make the difference between a usable result and imitation of an example. A newcomer who must choose and adapt an exercise needs more than the instruction for running one selected exercise. Someone who only needs to perform a familiar operation may need a reminder rather than another course. State which contribution must be available from the practitioner, material, tool or another person under the actual receiving conditions. Distinguish a required change in the recipient’s own capability from a result that adequate available support can supply. Preserve sufficient existing capability and help; use A.2.2 for the relied-on capability and E.23.CDI when a capability-change question is current. A.3.1.MI handles a bounded introduction when no cultural question is being asked.
Recover the reason for the way before preserving its form. Trace the available explanation from its inputs, through the operations and their dependencies, to the needed result. Ask what each consequential operation makes possible, which conditions must remain true, and which features belong only to the demonstrated situation. A condition protecting the result is not interchangeable with the historical choice of an instrument or presentation. If the source or a competent contributor cannot supply a necessary reason, retain that gap. Do not turn permission to improvise into missing domain knowledge. A.3.2.DE supplies development of the needed explanation; C.39.MF, C.39.RP, C.39.RQ, A.3.1.DR, A.3.1.QM, C.32.MWA.PP, B.1.5.CM and C.39 supply construction and comparison when the way itself is still missing.
Construct a bounded adaptation from the changed condition. Compare the receiving task with the demonstrated one. Preserve the requirements and dependencies that still apply; alter the operation, allocation, instrument or support whose condition changed. Follow the proposed replacement forward to its result and backward to its inputs, preparation, participants and shared resources. A simpler local action may move work to a provider or create preparation and cleanup elsewhere. If two contributions must be combined, make the result of the first usable by the second and check the joint conditions; compatible names do not establish this. Use C.39.RQ and C.32.MWA.PP for the situated alternative and B.1.5.CM/B.1.5 only when claiming a composite Method. A missing input-producing operation calls for that contribution or a stop, not an invented claim that the alternative works.
Give the recipient a usable way to make the same decision. Explain a consequential choice and contrast it with a plausible wrong choice. Let the recipient recover the reason, construct or select the next action and follow its consequence in a representative task. Where learning is needed, obtain a development operation appropriate to the actual holder and the required later performance. It must supply the conditions, practice or other learning operation, feedback and variation needed for that change, together with usable support. Retain the mechanism’s human, organizational or technical applicability rather than treating every recipient as a human learner. The feedback must identify the failed interpretation, operation or condition, rather than merely provide a finished answer. The source may need a fuller explanation for preparation and a short reminder during performance. C.37.MP preserves the necessary correspondence between those uses; A.15.8.MS configures their actual availability. Effort allocated to a probe does not also establish provision for explanation repair, any needed teacher preparation and feedback, or later maintenance. When that provision is missing, obtain a feasible allocation or another qualified contributor, reduce the offer, or retain the supported arrangement while deferring expansion. The teaching activity, material and acquired capability remain different results.
Judge the receiving result under the conditions that matter. Use matching current evidence when it suffices. Choose another task only for a worthwhile unresolved question. Observe what the practitioner actually did, what help supplied a necessary operation, and whether the result supports the next use. Retain help that belongs to the intended practice. Test without it only when the later use requires independence. A changed task can reveal whether the practitioner uses the reason or merely repeats the example, but learning a new method from a source and transferring an already learned method remain different questions, with different starting capabilities, permitted help and receiving tests. A correct result with assistance does not establish unsupported performance; a failure under a new requirement does not erase a supported earlier use.
Return what experience makes worth keeping. First recover the input, action, result and changed condition. A.3.2.DE receives a needed explanation or candidate-account change. A changed one-action representation stays with its C.37 result; C.37.MP maintains a profile only when several unlike Method-related uses must remain related. A changed access, tool or support arrangement goes to A.15.8.MS; a proposed change in reusable operations, dependencies or applicability goes to A.3.1.MV with its origin and evidence limits. A successful variation can be a candidate contribution without a defect in its parent. Local improvisation can instead remain one Work observation. Keep the older way for situations it still serves, and make the reason for selecting either way available to the next recipient. Generation of that contribution, its later transmission and its retention are separately supported claims.
The common move is to preserve the useful result and its enabling reasons while changing what the new situation requires, then make that decision available for another use. The domain supplies the actual requirements, operations and tests. A movement-design exercise and a coffee-making procedure do not share those domain rules merely because both can be adapted and taught; sections 5 and 5.4 show the shared move and this boundary.
