F.0.1:4.1 - Recover one source-local meaning

1. Name the question. State what answer or action can change if the expression is read differently.
2. Identify the source. Give the exact source and edition. A discipline or shelf label is not enough.
3. Locate the passage. Point to the claim, definition, example, rule, or other passage used.
4. State the meaning plainly. Say what the expression denotes or claims in that passage. Keep designed descriptions and performed occurrences distinct when the source does.
5. Use the answer and stop. Do not create a durable cell or relation unless a later receiver needs it.

The source, edition, expression, passage, and plain meaning are the ordinary minimum. A brief scoped heading may keep an already established source in view; repeated source tags are unnecessary when the reading remains unambiguous.
