MDPE.15:5.4 - Shimon: software or control change needs a configured performance trial

A human robot-development team may choose to change gesture timing, sensing, or control after a Shimon performance study. Treat the team as the practice-developing Agent only when its agency and capability are sufficient and it has the authority and permission needed for the attributed development Work. Shimon is the performing Agent for the bounded Music Work when it performs that Work autonomously under the tested conditions; the Music Work enacts the applicable performance Method. Engineering Work can change software, hardware, sensing, or control. Music trial Work then has to use the changed configuration under stated tempo, gesture, instrument, observer, and sound conditions.

A software commit or bench result does not establish a changed musical performance Method. A trial can support timing, synchronization, gesture, attention, noise, or plausibility observations only for its configuration. Cultural influence and autonomous practice-development authority remain unsupported unless separate evidence establishes them.
