LDR.4:10 - Rationale

Trusted judgement, a warranted proposal, acceptance, authority, mutual visibility and useful performance answer different questions. Their connection is the method’s contribution. Removing one can leave the next apparently complete while its necessary condition is missing.

The sequence is conditional rather than a universal meeting order. New evidence can return the proposal to its construction; a changed support offer can return it to agreement; a prepared routine action can omit most of the preparation. The receiving result determines what remains to be done.
