E.4.CM:10 - Rationale

Pattern authoring and scientific Method development often perform methodological synthesis: they construct ways of acting and the conditions under which their operations and results can be combined. Semantic synthesis can supply or revise the claims and distinctions used in that construction. The two results can develop together; neither the presence of action words nor publication in one document makes them the same result. Composition is productive work because successful individual operations do not determine their joint conditions, suitable selection or response to change. The same need for construction arises among independently usable Methods. A new primitive operation is therefore neither necessary nor sufficient for a useful framework contribution.

Normal patterns can describe these solutions at the scale where practitioners need them. Publication length is a separate choice. Keeping a short first entry and a developed body avoids both a compulsory long first read and an unexplained whole.
