MDPE.15:1 - Problem Frame

Music and Dance projects often make change look easier than it is. A score is edited, a phrase is renamed, a robot gains a technical ability, a class receives a new exercise, or a competition publishes a new rule. The visible artifact then stands in for a changed Method, changed performance, improved capability, or changed culture.

The opposite error is equally common: useful local Work is dismissed because it did not transform a whole scene. A bounded local change can be valuable without proving transmission or retention. The needed result is an account of one selected change, the Work that attempted it, the actual subject and direct result, the bounded trial evidence, and what remains open.
