Use a public unit for orientation or source access. Search the complete pattern index by the working difficulty or useful result. EXD numbers are stable addresses; they prescribe no order of explaining Work.
Public units

Patterns by working question
| § | ID & Title | Status | Keywords & Search Queries | Dependencies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | EXD.1 - Establish and Revise What a Recipient Needs Explained | Keywords: question, purpose, contrast, changed condition. Queries: “Which question needs an explanation?” “Did the question change, or is the inference wrong?” Establish or revise the useful question and return a missing premise or choice. | FPF A.2.9; EXD.4 | |
| 2 | EXD.2 - Build and Bound an Explanatory Example | Keywords: worked example, correspondence, analogy, counterexample. Queries: “How does this instance show the rule?” “Where does the correspondence stop?” Construct a discriminating instance and its consequential boundary. | EXD.1; HCD.6 | |
| 3 | EXD.3 - Coordinate the Expression of an Explanation | Keywords: prose, table, diagram, demonstration, access, cognitive load. Queries: “What should each form contribute?” “Is the repair missing content, a clearer expression or help?” Use one sufficient form or coordinate complementary forms for the receiving reconstruction. | EXD.1; FPF C.37, C.2.8 | |
| 4 | EXD.4 - Co-Construct and Repair an Explanation in Dialogue | Keywords: dialogue, feedback, changed question, diagnosis, close. Queries: “What does this contribution change?” “Should I clarify, repair, return a premise or close?” Adapt the next explanatory move to the actual contribution. | EXD.1; FPF A.2.9 | |
| 5 | EXD.5 - Guide a Recipient’s Own Explanation | Keywords: learner explanation, self-explanation, error, feedback, assistance, retry. Queries: “Which relation did the learner use?” “What correction and retry address that relation?” Obtain and interpret a recipient product with its actual help. | EXD.1, EXD.2; HCD.9, HCD.10 | |
| 6 | EXD.6 - Compare Explanations for the Recipient’s Use and Decide Whether a Repair Is Worthwhile | Keywords: structural recovery, reader, effort, incumbent, marginal improvement. Queries: “What can this recipient reconstruct at these conditions?” “Which smallest repair is worth its burden?” Compare the actual contribution or retain a sufficient explanation. | EXD.1; FPF C.2.8, C.11.CRC, C.11; ME.22, HCD.19 |
