E.19:4.3.3 - Pattern-Edition Use-Value Replay
Use this replay when an exact candidate pattern edition changes materially under E.8:4.1.2. Run it once on the stable candidate before acceptance or landing, not after each edit. Start with the bounded E.8 loop over the actual predecessor and proposed prose, then open only each affected prior-edition or candidate-only use whose result can differ, pinned to its exact basis and changed locus. Treat a change as mechanical only when the smallest relevant comparison shows that every materiality value named in E.8:4.1.2 is preserved. A genuinely bounded local semantic edit opens only its affected use probe and changed wording group; physical rewrite size is not evidence.
When the candidate keeps, merges, removes, profiles, reuses, externally supplies, or omits a narrower contribution, apply the same-situation decision in E.8:4.1.3. If reuse or a gap answers the working question, verify which return is actually present: an available result of its own kind and supplying product, a MethodDescription reference, direct-source evidence, or a named unavailable result. For an external result, verify the exact result and supplying product, receiving use, practical discovery route, material currentness or availability, and the statement that it remains outside the receiving framework; state maintenance only when it changes that use. Otherwise the package still has a gap or omission. When the resulting stable set materially changes a promised problem family, verify the current E.4.DPF.DA D12 judgement for the resulting exact edition required by E.8:4.1.3. Reuse a matching current result when the exact edition, promised families, declared use, relied-on results, and relevant conditions did not change; E.19 asks for neither a duplicate package evaluation nor evidence that a revisit occurred.
Judge each affected use probe separately when its result can differ by exact predecessor or candidate-only basis, working use or relying work, expected first useful result, boundary, necessity, or evidence mode. One review may contain probes from both bases. A grouped verdict such as uses preserved or added or usability preserved cannot substitute for those judgements. E.19 does not prescribe a per-probe progress store: inspect-repair-verify repairs and verifies failed probes, while independent findings records only regressions, insufficiencies, invalid transfers, unsupported decisions, and blockers. When E.8, E.21, or another governing evaluation requires reusable dispositions or values, keep them in that evaluation’s result rather than copying them into E.19 findings.
Changed-wording check inside each affected prior-edition probe. Keep the selected use probe as the outer unit. When a predecessor-bearing candidate materially rewrites a normative sentence or inseparable sentence group that carries the governed extension, action discriminator, first useful result, stop, or neighboring-pattern exit, give that wording group its applicable differential disposition below before closing the outer probe. Keep sentences together only when they serve one reader task and must receive one disposition; split them when their extension, action, result, or route can differ.
For each changed wording group:
- pin the old and candidate wording and the exact use it serves;
- state in plain language the subject, concrete action or choice, visible result, and any actual stop or exit needed by that use;
- compare the old and candidate head and modifiers, modal force, admitted referents or actions, applicability boundary under its governing rule, and local interpretation burden. Check every widening or narrowing against that rule and the accepted change decision, independently of the reader-plausibility question in the next step;
- if independent local evidence makes one rival reading plausible to the intended reader and its treatment can differ, test that exact case. Use the plausible-reader test to decide whether an explicit guard contributes to the final wording; the extension comparison remains required. Do not invent a nearest alien or excluded case merely to complete the review form; and
- apply the differential disposition.
preservedrequires no unauthorized widening or narrowing and no greater decoding burden: a reader must not need campaign memory or an ontology-development memorandum to recover the action.
For a new action-guiding paragraph with no predecessor, do not invent history or a foil. Verify that the local wording exposes a recognizable situation, concrete action or choice, visible first result, and any independently grounded applicability or neighboring-pattern boundary needed for use.
Keep the cheap path cheap. Formatting, typo, link, citation, or exact-reference corrections remain mechanical when the smallest comparison proves that no E.8:4.1.2 materiality value changed. A bounded semantic edit checks only its affected wording group and use probe. Reuse an earlier hunk or language result only when the object and compared editions, changed scope, and assurance question match this extension, modal-force, applicability, and interpretation-burden test; idea presence or broad-use preservation is not enough. This is one same-increment stable-candidate pass before acceptance or landing, not per-keystroke review, a new ledger, or a one-finding handoff.
Prior-edition differential. For one candidate pattern edition × one prior-edition use probe, distinguish the applicable disposition when the governing decision needs it:
| Disposition | Semantic test and recoverability |
|---|---|
preserved | The situation, action, result, and any action-changing boundary carried by the prior use remain semantically available; every material changed wording group retains its head-and-modifier extension, modal force, admitted valid cases, valid rule-defined exclusions, and no-greater-decoding-burden condition. The declared use remains admissible and replayable from the pinned editions. |
improved | The required old use and every required changed-wording boundary remain preserved, and the same bounded comparison also demonstrates an action, result, boundary, affordability, or interpretation-burden gain. |
transferred | A discoverable handoff reaches one named neighboring pattern whose Solution carries the needed action guidance and exposes its result. A bare pattern ID or unreachable action is regressed. |
intentionally retired | An accepted decision drops a harmful or false old action and supplies the corrected positive action or boundary as the recoverability endpoint. |
regressed | A required action, result, risk disclosure, cheap exit, or usable handoff is absent; or changed wording changes modal force, widens or narrows admitted referents or actions without an accepted basis, alters a rule-defined applicability boundary, or makes the reader decode more unstated ontology. Repair or an explicit retirement decision is required. |
A use classified as unsupported historical residue before replay receives no differential disposition and supports no compatibility claim. New evidence of a valid old use reopens that classification instead of restoring wording silently. A required regressed probe prevents a positive conclusion, but it does not stop inspection of the remaining independent probes.
Candidate-only adequacy. Review one candidate pattern edition × one new intended-use probe against its exact candidate-only basis, never against invented history. Distinguish these outcomes when the governing decision needs them:
| Outcome | Semantic test |
|---|---|
| adequate for the candidate-only use | The selected basis, recognizable situation, concrete action or choice, first useful result, intended reader, and any independently grounded action-changing boundary are recoverable from the local candidate wording and executable enough for the declared use. |
| absent or insufficient for the candidate-only use | The use is only promised, named, over-broad, ambiguous, or unsupported; the intended reader cannot perform the action, distinguish the first result, or recover an applicability or neighboring-pattern boundary that the declared use actually needs. |
A missing candidate-only decision or basis is absent or insufficient; it never licenses a fabricated prior edition. Absence for a required new use prevents a positive conclusion but does not stop the other independent probes. Absence for optional breadth is non-blocking by itself but cannot support breadth, transfer, or exceptional-expression claims. If no exact new intended use is selected, no candidate-only check opens.
Replay the positive Solution separately. Judge the following over the candidate edition when their answers can differ:
- the governed subject;
- the recurring problem and ordinary failure;
- an executable proposed move;
- a first useful result rather than completed review apparatus.
When the Solution uses a boundary or guard. Judge each guard for which independent local evidence makes the exact rival reading plausible to the intended reader and whose presence changes action. Check whether any remaining guard merely supplies the outline that the positive Solution should state directly. Refine this question by boundary whenever boundaries can pass, fail, or route independently. This guard check leaves the rule-defined extension comparison above intact.
When the Solution concerns a Method, work, or world-side change. First distinguish content that defines, constrains, tests, or guides from an assertion of one actual occurrence. Method guidance alone triggers no fictive performer or Work. When an account asserts dated U.Work, verify the §4 actual-Work account; when it asserts a world-side change, identify the change relation, the pattern that defines it, and the things it relates. Keep the intended-reader position, any qualifying A.3.2 method-description episteme, actual performer, Work, and problem-facing result separate. A literal dated-Work claim is defective if an episteme, checklist, plan, prose, or intended-reader or representation position performs Work. Judge ordinary metonymy through F.19.
Follow the short first-use rendering’s action and result logic against a concrete situation. Merely finding words such as situation, move, result, or stop is not evidence. Repair each failed item or record it as an exact finding with remediation direction; do not replace the replay with one prose-quality impression.
Replay each triggered enumeration or coordination under F.19. Apply its contribution, coordination/list, and foregrounding rules in F.19:4, including the return to a defining or testing pattern when an FPF kind, relation, or structure remains hidden. Review a member separately only when its membership or contribution can fail independently or require a different repair. An unchanged series still covered by its exact rule needs no positive recital, and a blanket all lists are coherent conclusion cannot replace this reading.
Desk replay is the ordinary evidence mode for affected uses, changed wording groups, new action-guiding paragraphs, the positive Solution, and enumerations. Escalate to a cold reader, AI agent, or observed-work exercise when competing actions remain plausible, a near-miss boundary or result distinction is not recoverable by inspection, a transfer is uncertain, or a missed failure has high consequence. When a claim extends recurring applicability beyond the exact cases, do not treat three examples alone—the traditional rule of three—as validation. When the claim’s value or consequence warrants it, select a proportionate qualitative practitioner survey, action-research cycle, or case study. Evidence escalation is risk-selected; it is not a universal benchmark or an ordinary-rewrite requirement. E.19 defines repair or finding outputs while leaving ordinal coordinate values and PatternQualityStatus to the full E.21 evaluation.
