E.11.PUA:11 - SoTA-Echoing
| Source or practice line | Problem-solving move taken here | Adoption and boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Pattern-language practice: situation recognition, conditional solution, consequences, and neighboring-pattern composition | Begin with direct inspection rather than title matching, then use one conditional Solution to identify a first result or stop. | Adopt the conditional result-or-stop logic. Reject recipe following, PatternID matching, and generic application-to-result inference as sufficient use. |
| Jin, Bai, and Oulasvirta, Modeling Trial-and-Error Navigation With a Sequential Decision Model of Information Scent, arXiv:2603.11759 (2026) | Make bounded inspection, wrong-turn recognition, and explicit return part of ordinary use. | Adapt the navigation result to pattern use. The preprint does not decide FPF ontology, shortlist size, or whether records are needed. |
Current FPF A.10, B.3, E.18, E.18.NET, C.2.1, and G.11 | Keep exact result, basis, local positions, later-use relation, and currentness evidence addressable when a named later use relies on them. | Adapt conditionally through relianceBearing; reject universal trace production and keep each claim with the pattern that defines or tests it. |
Current FPF E.11, E.11.PUR, and A.15 | Separate public discovery, one selected-pattern use, recommendation or coordination, intended work, performed work, and entity inception. | PUA supplies the user-side use method and optional reliance findings without collapsing those objects. |
The practical implication is direct: inspect enough to detect a wrong turn, record only what a named later use needs, and never infer a subject result from the existence of its trace.
Conditional pattern use is the lineage anchor, not a claim that traditional pattern-language practice already supplies PUA’s result and flow ontology. Recipe following, PatternID matching, and universal trace production remain the common comparators.
The 2026 navigation study is a current preprint anchor rather than settled consensus. Reopen its adaptation when peer review, replication, or use evidence changes the observed value of inspection, memory, or backtracking. Reopen the ordinaryBounded and relianceBearing split when real later uses repeatedly lose needed distinctions or pay trace cost without later use. G.11 orchestrates that evidence and currentness; PUA changes the profile boundary or exact support relations.
