CMP.8:4.6 - Use the result and revise the affected construction

Return the value or witness together with the approximation meaning needed by its recipient. Distinguish a proved error bound, an empirically estimated error and an unbounded heuristic approximation.

A changed tolerance can require a different stage. A changed requested property can invalidate the error measure. A changed arithmetic format can invalidate an implementation argument while preserving the mathematical scheme. Reopen that part, retaining the constructions and comparisons that still hold.
