D.1:1 - Problem Frame

FPF cannot prescribe one final ethics doctrine and still remain usable across engineering, research, organizational, public, and AI-enabled work. But FPF also cannot treat ethical neutrality as permission to omit ethics. Many working claims already carry values: who may be harmed, who benefits, which consequences count, which responsibilities are accepted, what evidence is enough, and which sacrifice is treated as admissible.

D.1 supplies the boundary rule. When the ethical claim matters, make the value concern explicit enough that neighboring FPF patterns can inspect it. Do not hide it inside words such as “responsible”, “safe”, “fair”, “humane”, “acceptable”, or “aligned” without saying what is being valued, for whom, in which context, and with what evidence.
