C.40.CU:4.1 - Recover the response and the configuration that produced it

Keep the relevant material, preparation, task, interaction, observation and time window. Include prior learning, stored state and external interventions when they can change the interpretation. For a living construct or a person, use a permissible preparation and observation; a desired comparison does not authorize resetting, training or disturbing the subject.

Distinguish these questions:

  • What response was observed, or is only proposed?
  • What did the interaction make observable?
  • What did it make possible or change?
  • What result might someone obtain from that response?

A new readout can expose an existing response. Training can create a new capability. A fixture can make an action unnecessary. Another participant can supply the decisive action. A changed metric can improve a reported score while the trajectory is unchanged.

Keep the tested configuration recoverable without attributing everything it did to one constituent. A capability claim under A.2.2 names its holder and conditions. The surroundings need not be one System or one Agent. A model or recorded trace describes something; its availability does not make it a performer.

If the present material and known conditions already support the receiving use, continue with them. The method does not require a universal inventory of hidden capabilities.
