E.10.INT:4.1 - Recover the contribution being claimed
These are recurring uses of the wording. Select the ones needed for the sentence; several can apply together.
| What the wording is doing | What to recover | Example of the resulting claim |
|---|---|---|
| Expressing a participant’s stake | The participant, affected outcome and consequence | “The maintenance team wants the inspection window because it can then replace the worn coupling.” |
| Expressing attraction or engagement | The person or group, activity and response | “These listeners want to keep moving to this rhythm.” |
| Selecting information-seeking action | The agent’s uncertainty, available observation and use of the resulting information | “The controller samples input 1 to distinguish the two candidate relations before choosing its command.” |
| Describing learning progress | The learner or model, what changes and the comparison | “After training, the compressor describes the same material in fewer bits.” |
| Explaining active-inference policy selection | The generative model, candidate actions, information expected from them and preferences over outcomes | “The agent first observes the cue to learn which action is likely to produce its preferred outcome.” |
| Recognizing a promising continuation | The present clue, available variation or combination, and what is worth trying or retaining | “This construction permits a new family of transformations; keep it available for exploration.” |
An information-seeking policy can be attributed to a human, an AI agent or a collective whose members obtain and use the information. For a claim about a person’s experience, preserve that experiencer. A policy description alone leaves the question of subjective experience open.
A prospective continuation can be supported by a hunch, a newly available operation or a promising variation. State that basis at its actual strength. Where its future destination is unknown, the next action can be to explore or retain the construction. C.18 supplies retention in an exploration archive; C.19 helps choose which directions in an active search pool to continue, retain or stop; C.40 helps develop problems and ways together.
