E.10.DEV:4.2 - Direct branches

Recovered current claimDirect route and boundary
One identified entity actually changed under conditionsUse A.3.4, A.3.4.P, B.4, and C.27.TA as applicable. A sequence, record, intervention, or expected result does not establish the actual transformation or identity-through-change claim.
One holder has or changed capability for a named Work familyUse current A.2.2 for the capability and A.10 for relied-on evidence. When a prior result now fails, transfers poorly, or varies with conditions and a distinction among envelope and support, applicability, access or activation, adaptation, enactment, and capability-claim revision can change the next question, use current E.23.CAE only for that differential. Its disposition is not a ChoiceResult, authorization, trajectory selection, or selected development Work. Candidate E.23.CDI may govern a separate capability-development Method only after its own admission and a separate applicable steering or choice result selects capability development. Keep provider Work, representative later Work, transfer, effect, and causal contribution separate.
An organization, campaign, producing arrangement, or product-development arrangement changedIdentify the actual kind and its direct owner. Use the applicable DPF or domain Method to establish which working relations changed and under what conditions. Recover the Work, Methods, authority, interfaces, capabilities, evidence, and effects needed by the claim. Use System or programme classification when that owner’s rules establish it. Use A.3.4 for actual change, C.30 for an architecture question, and the A.15 family for Work or planning. When several structures need a proposed practice-architecture synthesis, candidate C.32.MWA supplies a first move: distinguish obtaining from future practice and state the architecture question. Keep current-law claims with admitted owners. Establish any success claim under its declared basis.
An episteme, problem formulation, body of knowledge, or MethodDescription changedUse C.2.1 to identify each compared episteme by its claim content, EntityOfConcern, and effective ReferenceScheme; name the editions and changed content needed by the comparison. Stop when this answers the receiving use. Use C.22.2 when a reviewable problem-side formulation is needed, A.3.2 for a separate MethodDescription membership question, and A.6.3.RT for a needed same-EntityOfConcern representation transition. Add a source return, A.10 descriptive source-to-use account and bounded RelianceDisposition, or G.11 currentness check only when the receiving claim or use needs that contribution.
A cultural population or discipline generated, transmitted, reconstructed, recognized, selected, retained, or lost variantsUse C.36 for the cultural claim. Use C.36.P only when cultural wording remains unclear. Preserve the population or practice boundary, period, variants, relations, intervention, and evidence.
A non-cultural population or lineage evolvedRecover only the dimensions on which this claim or its use relies. Possible dimensions include population or lineage identity, membership, generation, reproduction or inheritance, variation, selection, retention or loss, environment, distribution, posture, and evidence. Use an admitted domain owner for their meaning and requirements; otherwise return the named non-cultural population or lineage architecture gap. Do not substitute C.36 or one-holder B.4.
An engineering search changed its archive, front, pool, generator policy, or possibility spaceUse C.17–C.19, G.5, and G.11. Archive or front history is not population evolution unless the population relations independently obtain.
A model predicts or simulates development or evolutionUse A.3.3 for the dynamics account; name the model edition, state or position space, transition law, validity boundary and posture, plus an observation relation when the use requires it. Use A.19 for a needed CharacteristicSpace declaration, C.29 for an unresolved mathematical representation or transfer question, and C.27 for a separate temporal-claim adequacy question. Model output is not actual change.
A practitioner proposes development opportunities or a programmeChoose the return for the unresolved question. If an opportunity cue still needs a reviewable problem-side formulation, use C.22.2. If a decision needs the contribution of a realizable finite change from the current configuration, use C.11.CRC under a declared comparison basis; reuse a sufficient current comparison. For a local choice with a current chooser and OptionSet, use C.11. When intended future Work must be planned, use A.15.2 to describe it in a WorkPlan about an existing subject. Use the applicable domain Method for the development content. Stop when the needed result is sufficient.
The current expression means learning, teaching, training, model fitting, inference, or information acquisitionUse the direct subject pattern; use E.10.LRN only when a learning-related wording question remains.
The wording is ordinary or quoted and supports no FPF inferencePreserve it and stop. Recover a branch only if a later use relies on the stronger claim.
