MDPE.15:0 - Use This When

Use this pattern when a Music-or-Dance project has already selected one feasible local change and now needs to make and test it without turning a proposal into an accomplishment or one trial into a cultural claim. Examples of such changes include:

  • musical or movement material;
  • one performance, teaching, rehearsal, improvisation, composition, choreography, arrangement, or control Method;
  • a performing capability or a support arrangement for that capability;
  • an instrument, body interface, robot, software tool, venue, or other enabling System;
  • a performing-whole, event, class, curation, recognition, or selection arrangement; or
  • a bounded repertoire or practice variant retained for later transmission or comparison.

Start only when one change has been chosen through C.11, MDPE.6, MDPE.7, a bounded change decision from MDPE.13 or MDPE.14, or an applicable direct Music, Dance, teaching, production, event, or engineering decision Method. A capable Agent must perform representative Work that enacts the direct Method used to make and test the selected change.

A short first-use mantra is:

[Practice-developing Agent] will use [direct change Method] in [bounded Work] to change [named practice subject in starting configuration] toward [intended direct result], while protecting [named characteristics and affected Systems] and observing [bounded trial question]. If an assignment changes the decision, [declared assignment species] relates that Agent to [local system role] through [direct predicate]; attribute any dated Work performed under that assignment separately. A named ChoiceResult made by [DecisionSubject] under [decision-authority relation] selects [named option or change]; permission, consent, capability, resources, and safety conditions for the Work are stated separately.

This mantra helps a practitioner notice the required objects and relations. The order of its fields is not a WorkPlan and does not establish the order of performed Work. If the sentence cannot be completed, return the missing choice, authority, permission, Method, capability, resource, subject, configuration, evidence, or relation and the Work it blocks.

The practical gain is a usable account of performed change Work and an observed changed subject, partial change, or failed attempt, contrasted with a proposal or plan. A later practitioner can tell what was chosen, who acted, what Work occurred, what subject changed, what direct result appeared, what was merely observed, and which claim still needs later evidence.

Use the direct domain Method without this pattern when it already returns that complete result for the present decision. Do not use this pattern when:

  • the change still has to be chosen—use C.11, MDPE.6, MDPE.7, or the direct decision Method;
  • a practice conflict still needs comparison or a decision—use MDPE.14; return here only when it selects one feasible local change and representative trial, or a named DecisionSubject makes another bounded ChoiceResult that selects the change;
  • the present task is only planning or tool-call sequencing—use the applicable planning Method, A.15.2, or C.24;
  • the task is only to develop performer capability—use MDPE.10 or Human Capability Development;
  • the task is to obtain receiving enactment by another Agent—use MDPE.17;
  • the task is to establish recognition, selection, retention, spread, or loss in a population—use C.36 and the applicable later MDPE pattern; or
  • no Work can be performed and the current result can only be a possible-future description.
