D.2:9 - Rationale

D.2 makes multilevel ethical concern visible before the work jumps to conflict mediation, bias audit, assurance, or architecture. This matters because many cases look technically local but ethically cross-level: a method, standard, architecture move, publication, or work plan can improve one scope while pushing cost, risk, exclusion, or responsibility elsewhere.

The pattern deliberately avoids a fixed ladder. It asks for declared levels and scopes from the situation, then selects the next pattern to apply. That keeps FPF holon-aware without making every cross-scope case an architecture residual or every ethical case a bias audit.
