No accepted problem-side record exists.Stop before P2W; apply the exact problem-side pattern that answers the missing formulation or acceptance question.The source phrase remains a cue, not a carried distinction.
A cue suggests one relation, but its subject, other participants, or deciding rule cannot be named.Preserve the cue and the exact attempted question; use the Relations map only to locate the pattern that can answer it.Stop without a positive relation.
One sentence blurs several relations—for example lens plus declaration, plan plus Work, or Work plus change.Split the sentence into separately answerable questions and apply 4.6 to each.Independent values or blockers; no sequence is inferred.
A cited pattern returns missing-governor, factually unsupported, missing-information, a reduced-use result, or another exact blocker.Carry that result unchanged and stop only the dependent claim.An honest blocker with its affected participants or use; independently grounded values remain.
A relied-on value changed after a prior positive use.Apply 4.5.Reopen only the smallest dependent continuation.
