E.18.1:4.5 - Return and refresh rule
Reopen the relation that supplied the changed value, then only the continuation that relied on it. Do not replay the whole carry-through.
| What changed | First return | Smallest P2W reopen |
|---|---|---|
| A measurement, unit, reference plane, normalization, comparator, selected set, criterion, or other result used by the continuation | Reapply the exact guidance recorded for the earlier use and use the basis it supplied or located with current facts to reassess the earlier claim or result about the independently identified value. | Reopen only the continuation whose answer used it. |
| A source publication, source-use relation, freshness/currentness line, or appearance on which the use relied | Apply the currentness or reliance repair for that exact source relation, then reapply the pattern for the affected relation. | Only continuations that relied on the stale or misleading source value. |
| A result artifact, telemetry line, acceptance label, done-state, or similar record | First state the relation that the record is claimed to report; the record’s appearance alone is not a changed world fact. | Reopen a dependent continuation only if the result returned for that exact question changed. |
| The accepted ProblemCard claim itself | Amend or replace the problem-side result under its direct problem pattern. | Every and only continuation that relied on the changed distinction. |
A dated occurrence already admitted as U.Work remains the same world-side occurrence. Return may change a later interpretation or plan; it does not rewrite that occurrence retrospectively.
