E.24.CD:5.3 - Problem card

A ProblemCard@Context under C.22.2 is a problem-side episteme. It may carry a signal, hypothesis, forecast, scenario, anticipated-condition claim, affected-entity reference, evidence cue, constraint, proposed direction, assignment cue, source reference, or gate cue without creating an actual Problem.

An actual Problem is one obtaining ProblematicForRelation under C.22.PFR. A card may assert that exact predicate, but it may designate a current Problem occurrence only after C.22.PFR independently establishes the actual-condition relation, criterion-applicability relation, adverse truth, and occurrence identity. Signals, hypotheses, forecasts, scenarios, anticipated conditions, and reviewable formulations remain under C.22.2 or their exact forecast, scenario, temporal, or causal governor.

For a repair decision, keep the affected entity, evidence-use relation, any current local system-role kind and classification judgment, any exact obtaining system-role assignment, any separately governed responsibility relation, source-use relation, and gate or decision claim under their subject patterns. Apply E.18.1, E.23, and the exact Work, search, evaluation, or continuation pattern when repeated problematization or later action is current. Neither the card nor its acceptance or publication creates or ends an actual Problem. Open E.24 only if a different reusable subject-identity or relation gap remains after these direct claims are recovered; do not rediscover the actual Problem as a new ontic.
