HCD.14:5.2 - The next observation decides the smallest update
No result of the proposed revision is assumed. The test has the following conditional returns:
| New observation | Update to the hypothesis |
|---|---|
| Both fresh uncued first attempts adapt the promise correctly and preserve configuration checking and calculation | Retain the local change provisionally for these tested variants; do not claim a general transfer effect. |
| Correct answers appear only after a teacher or AI cue names the changed resource | Independent adaptation remains unproven; inspect cue dependence and the supported human target before adding more repetitions. |
| The time value is ambiguous or a required source is unavailable | Repair that assessment or access component; the affected attempt cannot judge the intended learning contribution. |
| Adaptation improves but configuration checking or required checks deteriorate | Revise or abandon the change: the intended gain does not compensate for the protected loss. |
| Further qualified observations show several tasks depend on the same missing prerequisite | Enlarge the target or arrangement question through the appropriate diagnostic and Method owner. |
A later HCD.13 result may update the hypothesis if delay or support dependence becomes relevant. It is neither a prerequisite for this first revision nor proof that the revision caused the later result.
