C.36.RP:9 - Consequences

The method makes continuity a question about usable contributions. A group can retain mathematical, physical or computational understanding while changing who performs particular operations. A promising discovery can enter shared work through an attainable form of acquisition or provision.

The arrangement consumes resources. Explanation, practice, tools and access have costs, and some methods remain hard to transfer. The result can therefore be a useful redistribution, a narrower continuation or an identified contribution that still cannot be obtained.
