CONSEQUENCE-BEARERS — Find omitted Systems before closing a decision
Situation: A consequence account for a decision or investigation may omit physical or operational wholes beyond its candidate bearer.
Question: Which other Systems may undergo a relevant change, through what supported relation or still-modal path, and what next step follows for the decision or investigation?
First useful result or blocker: A bounded consequence account with its focus, bearers or intended referents, obtaining or modal paths, changed characteristics, support, uncertainty, and material limit. A useful constraint, alternative, or explicit unknown can complete the answer; further discovery needs a worthwhile obtainable contribution.
Start with: Use A.1.CSD for the focus and receiving decision or investigation. Trace obtaining relations separately from modal paths, challenge the boundary and recover the relevant wholes; use A.1.SCR only when a candidate’s systemhood is load-bearing. Qualify each change and keep each bearer’s changes and conditions distinct. Leave through the direct evidence, causality, comparison, domain or value pattern only when that stronger question is current. Select further inquiry by individual and combined contribution and burden.
Stop or return: Return the smallest useful account with its material limit; it may change or hold open the named decision or investigation. Reopen when the focus, configuration, horizon, whole, relation support, bearer, observation, or receiving use changes.
