SYSTEM-RECOGNITION — Test systemhood only when it changes the decision

  • Situation: A decision may change if one exact entity is a System, while the same noun may instead name Work, a Method, capability, episteme, structure, or another subject.
  • Question: What decision depends on treating that entity as a System?
  • First useful result or blocker: Return to the direct non-system claim; recognize or reject the System reading; or name the missing construction fact or test.
  • Start with: A.1.SCR.
  • Stop or return: Stop at that direct result or exact blocker. A noun, assignment, capability, plan, or project label does not establish systemhood.
