E.17.ID.CR:4.3.b - Ordinary minimum block

For ordinary bounded comparative review units, it is usually enough that the unit or its surrounding review context keeps explicit:

  • what reviewed source episteme or source publication is being interpreted;
  • which source references carry the local claim;
  • that the shared review frame remains preserved and that distinct alternatives remain distinct unless another source supplies bridge or substitution relation;
  • what declared bounded comparative lift is being added, or which bounded contrast rows are included and what comparison criterion each row uses;
  • what downstream claim or effect remains blocked;
  • that the default worldContactPolicy here is review-only and non-executive;
  • and what neighboring FPF pattern becomes mandatory if the case crosses that neighboring boundary.

If those minimum answers cannot stay stable across the same note, sheet, or review aid without sliding between reviewed source episteme or source publication, bounded comparative review unit, bounded lift, and outside work, stop here. Repair local lexical-head kind pressure through E.17.AUD.LHR (Local Head Restoration); if the whole review unit still has unstable primary-subject identification (including the carried EntityOfConcern when applicable) or carried-move identification after that repair, apply E.17.AUD.OOTD (PublicationUnit Primary-Subject Discipline) before adding more declaration weight.

E.17.ID.CR:4.3.b.a - Ordinary working card

An ordinary comparative review unit normally lets a reader recover these seven rows without using the heavier fuller declaration:

RowPlain questionMinimum answer
Reviewed sourceWhat already available source epistemes or source publications are being compared?one pinned source slice, one explicit source pair, or one explicit source set
Source referencesWhere can a reviewer inspect that source episteme or source publication?visible sourceAnchorSet or nearby sourceRefs
Shared review frame and alternative identitiesWhat review target, described situation, or source-set reference is preserved, and what alternatives remain distinct under it?preserved shared review frame; distinct alternatives are not treated as equivalent or substitutable without bridge relation
Bounded lift row(s)What single contrast or small row set is this unit making visible?one declared comparisonBasis or a small set of row-level comparisonBasis statements under one shared blocked downstream claim or effect and boundary trigger
Blocked downstream claim or effectWhat is this unit not yet claiming?no equivalence, abductive-prompt creation, ontology change, or decision authority
World-contact limitWhat can the unit not be used to do?review-only and non-executive
Boundary triggerWhat would end this pattern and require another governing pattern?one explicit bridge, explanation, prompt, ontology, or authority trigger

This working card can appear inline in the comparative review unit or in its immediate review context. Use it as the ordinary recovery reference for the near-top working-fit check:

  • if rows 1-4 are still unstable because one pressured local lexical head or qualifier is doing too much work, stop and repair that local lexical-head pressure through E.17.AUD.LHR (Local Head Restoration) before you keep building the comparative review unit here;
  • if rows 3-7 cannot stay stable because the same review unit still has unstable reviewed-source, comparative-move identification, or outside-work boundary after one honest local repair, apply E.17.AUD.OOTD (PublicationUnit Primary-Subject Discipline);
  • if rows 1-7 stay recoverable over one pinned source slice or source pair, one preserved shared review frame, distinct alternatives where present, and one bounded contrast or small row set, ComparativeReviewUnit remains the honest primary governing pattern.

The nearest stay-here worked slices for this pattern are E.17.ID.CR:5.4.5 through E.17.ID.CR:5.4.6.b. The nearest stop-and-reopen worked slice is E.17.ID.CR:5.4.6.c.

Use the fuller declaration extension only when one of the boundary, reader-fit, or misuse conditions in E.17.ID.CR:4.3.c becomes true. ComparativeReviewUnit remains primary only while those seven rows stay recoverable and the same review unit is still mainly about one bounded comparison, or a small set of bounded contrast rows, over already pinned source epistemes or source publications. If the first question is what the review unit is about, what move it carries, and what wider work remains outside, use E.17.AUD.OOTD (PublicationUnit Primary-Subject Discipline) to stabilize that PublicationUnit question before adding more declaration weight here.
