E.10.LRN:1 - Problem Frame

The same word family is used for importantly different situations:

  • a person inquires, notices, remembers, or reorganizes an episteme;
  • another System performs teaching, coaching, demonstration, or feedback Work;
  • a person acquires a capability for later Work;
  • a computing System performs parameter-estimation or optimization Work using an algorithm and returns a fitted model;
  • an inference Method returns a posterior or approximate distribution;
  • a query policy acquires data or reduces uncertainty;
  • a probe decodes a representation from system-side phenomena;
  • an organization or culture retains, reconstructs, selects, or loses a practice variant;
  • a course, lesson, dataset, artifact, or guide is produced; or
  • ordinary prose says only that someone found something out.

These uses can occur together without becoming one process. A teacher can teach while no capability is acquired. A person can acquire a capability without the sentence identifying a teacher. A model can be trained without a deployed System satisfying its capability claim. A posterior can be approximated without any human or machine capability changing.
