F.11:12 - Safe reasoning moves

  1. Classify the subject. Is the sentence about a Method, MethodDescription, Work, or a particular output?
  2. Keep design and occurrence apart. A design claim does not establish a Work outcome.
  3. Check membership. Name the one admitted Method that is the episteme’s exact EntityOfConcern; describes is only the plain shorthand allowed by A.3.2.
  4. State enactment only when supported. Name the Work, Method, and basis for the enactment claim.
  5. State description use separately. Say whether and how the Work or performing System used, followed, deviated from, or conformed to the versioned description, and cite the rule that defines or tests that claim; otherwise return the bounded missing-governor result.
  6. Locate outputs. Relate a signal or changed value to the Work through its direct pattern.
  7. Bind agency exactly. Recover the A.13 core for each performer before independent A.15.1 Work admission; add F.6 only for precise assignment-bound attribution through the same obtaining assignment.
  8. Use outcome evidence. Observations about the Work support evaluation; commands and approvals alone do not.
  9. Preserve history. A new description does not alter past Work or its evidence.
  10. Recover words locally. Use F.9 only when a genuine relation between local meanings is part of the question.
