F.11:6 - Solution — four questions

F.11:6.1 - Which way of doing?

Name the Method and its relevant boundary. Do not identify it merely by a file name, notation, or local expression. If a stable method kind or composition is claimed, use A.3, B.1.5, and any required kind pattern.

F.11:6.2 - Which description?

Name the already identified episteme and the one admitted Method that is its exact EntityOfConcern. State edition or version when it matters. Several epistemes may each concern the same Method. One episteme may concern one admitted composite Method, while a document or publication may present several separately identified epistemes; one MethodDescription episteme never has several Methods as its EntityOfConcern. Saying that it describes the Method is only A.3.2’s plain shorthand. Approval remains a separate claim and is not evidence that Work occurred or succeeded.

F.11:6.3 - Which Work actually occurred?

For every claimed actual performer, recover the A.13 core: the admitted System, local agential system-role kind and classification, obtaining assignment, and the scope, situation, window and evidence needed by the claim. A.15.1 then independently admits the dated Work. Use F.6 only when this account needs precise assignment-bound attribution through that same assignment; a missing attribution leaves the admitted Work intact. Do not replace these objects with a behavioural “mask” or a System-in-Role pseudo-object.

F.11:6.4 - Which output matters, if any?

Name the actual signal, command, setpoint, transformation output, or resulting value. State how it relates to the Work under the direct control or transformation pattern. Some Work has no control output; a manual command can be simple; neither case forces a fourth universal kind.

F.11:6.5 - Which evidence and status claim?

Keep approval or validity claims about a MethodDescription distinct from observations of Work and verdicts about Work outcomes in a window. Keep actual use, following, deviation, and conformance claims separate and cite the pattern that defines or tests each one; return A.6.RCD missing-governor when such a pattern is absent. Use C.16 for observations and measurements, A.10 and B.3 for evidence use and reliance, and F.10 and F.12 for status or promise evaluation.
