HCD.4:0.1 - Working Terms
| Name in this pattern | What it denotes |
|---|---|
| capability claim | One condition-qualified claim about a human contribution or interface needed in representative later Work. It is not a course outcome, trait label, or scalar coordinate by itself. |
| current profile | The set of supported current claim dispositions for one human holder, configuration, conditions, evidence window, and date. |
| target profile | The set of intended claim dispositions justified by representative later Work. It is not proof that the holder obtained them. |
| intermediate state | An optional description of a contribution and result boundary between the current and target profiles, under named conditions. Distinguish an intended intermediate target from an observed state. |
| profile difference | The claim-by-claim current-versus-target comparison, including preserved strengths, gaps, uncertainty, support dependence, critical errors, and trade-offs. |
| bounded profile decision | A lawful C.11 choice over an already-available option set, supported by the profile comparison and kept separate from authorization, commitment, and later Work. |
| profile-decision-blocked | A substantive return naming a missing value required for the affected conclusion—scope, evidence, chooser, option, comparison, applicable inquiry input, participation or authority—and its retry condition. |
| simultaneous Work | Representative Work whose contributions or interfaces coexist, overlap, recur, or constrain one another; printed order does not make them a sequence or hierarchy. |
Current and target profiles describe supported and intended contributions. A profile difference compares those descriptions, and an optional aggregate summarizes selected claims. A curriculum plans instruction. Keep these descriptions, comparisons, and plans separate from the person’s realized learning trajectory, the Work performed in learning, and any human transformation. Claims about what happened or changed need evidence of those occurrences.
