D.3:5 - Archetypal Grounding (Worked Slices)
Minimal engineering record. A consultant is asked to improve a surveillance project’s effectiveness.
Case: whether to accept the named consulting plan
Scope: the proposed consulting work and the intended deployment it would enable
Side A: the client receives more effective engineering advice; affected entity: client project;
value frame: client delivery edition 3;
consequence and horizon: near-term performance benefit during design.
Side B: the proposed capability increases foreseeable harm to monitored people;
affected entity: the named affected population; value frame: project ethics edition 2;
consequence and horizon: rights and safety harm over service life.
Tension: performing the plan would advance Side A by enabling the harm named in Side B.
Next use: D.4 refusal or conditions; C.28 first if the harm claim needs causal support.
This is enough to begin D.4 and does not decide who is responsible. If another reader must cite or revise the note, identify it as an InterlevelEthicalConflictDescription whose EntityOfConcern is the consulting-plan episteme. If consulting Work later occurs, use A.13 to identify its actual performer and A.15.1 to admit the dated occurrence independently. Add F.6 only if the note must also identify the assignment under which that Work was performed. Add agency, responsibility, permission, authority, or another assignment claim only through its independently obtaining relation or exact missing governor.
Conditional collection record. A fleet-wide maintenance change lowers cost but may raise failure risk for a small subfleet operating in harsh conditions. The description has a fleet-cost side and a harsh-service safety side, each with its affected entity, scope, value-frame edition, consequence, and horizon. Add the exact fleet-membership relation because it locates the subfleet. Add the reliability evidence episteme and A.10 evidence use because the safety side relies on them. Return the causal question to C.28 if the risk claim depends on the proposed change. None of those additions makes the fleet an acting or responsible whole; use A.1 for systemhood and the exact responsibility predicate for responsibility.
Episteme record. A published architecture description normalizes an interface assumption that excludes an alternative implementation. The EntityOfConcern of the D.3 description is the exact supplier-selection situation, not the architecture-description file. One side claims lower integration cost; the other claims unjust exclusion of affected suppliers under a named value-frame edition and horizon. Cite the architecture-description episteme and its publication or use only because that use carries the assumption into the decision. Use C.30.AD for description adequacy and use E.17 with E.24.PUB for publication; D.3 records the ethical tension that remains.
