E.23:4.7 - Source-composed, OEE, and NQD improvement

Accepted SoTA is the working external front only when assigned by the object-under-improvement evaluation, accepted source-use decision, or declared comparison set. E.23 can govern a loop that reaches, maintains, or improves relative to that front; it does not self-assign SoTA.

When an evaluation-result change depends on source use, source currentness, or a dated external front, the loop record cites the exact accepted result from G.2 or G.11, including the edition or date needed for replay. E.23 carries that reference; it does not make the source-use or currentness decision.

When several source anchors are used, the loop records each exact accepted source-use decision and each source contribution. The changed object’s result episteme then carries a SourceComposedResultClaim node in its U.ClaimGraph, relating the result claim to those decisions and contributions, and the changed object version is re-evaluated.

For NQD and OEE, use E.23 to change one object version or candidate and re-evaluate it on declared Q coordinates. Use C.17 for novelty, diversity, descriptors, and distances, C.18 for archive and front insertion, C.19 for pool policy, G.5 for selected-set result declaration, G.9 for parity, and G.11 for currentness and refresh. When audience availability is current, use E.17 for a source-backed publication face and return to source and E.24.PUB for the publication occurrence, form, carrier, audience, bounded use, and availability.
