D.4:3 - Mediation Moves
| Current situation | Admissible D.4 move | Neighboring subject pattern |
|---|---|---|
| A compromise is proposed but the D.3 description omits a side, affected entity, scope, value frame, consequence, or horizon. | Return to D.3 and complete the affected side or tension. | D.3 |
| A causal claim can change the recommendation or decision. | Use its C.28 support and retain the uncertainty that changes this use. If stronger support is needed, use C.11.DUA to compare a feasible inquiry with a narrower use, another option or stopping. | C.28, C.11.DUA |
| Evidence is too weak or outdated for the proposed use. | Name the affected claim and use. Use C.11.DUA to compare a feasible evidence request with a narrower use, explicit residual acceptance or refusal; obtain stronger or fresher evidence when the selected use needs it. | C.11.DUA; the evidence’s subject pattern for support, A.10 for reliance, and C.27 when temporal adequacy changes that use |
| Assurance claim is being used as ethical permission. | Keep assurance as an assurance or evidence relation, not moral authorization. | B.3, D.5 |
| Architecture move reduces one residual but creates ethical conflict elsewhere. | Return the architecture residual and keep the ethical conflict distinct. | C.30.ILC, D.3 |
| A decision must proceed with residual harm. | Record the accepted residual, admitted decision or repair Systems, prospective plan, commitment, permission, authority, or assignment requirements, direct responsibility relations or exact missing governors, evidence limits, and return condition. If Work has actually occurred, recover each precise performer’s A.13 core and independently admit the Work under A.15.1; add F.6 only when the decision account also needs exact assignment-bound attribution. | C.11, B.3, D.5, A.2.1, A.13, A.15.1, and F.6 as applicable |
When the basis required for a particular claim cannot be obtained, that claim remains unsupported. A narrower recommendation or decision must satisfy its own evidence, ethical and authority conditions. Preserve an accepted residual where it changes the use; an inactive inquiry creates no separate omission account.
