MDPE.16:0.1 - Working Distinctions
| Name | Meaning here |
|---|---|
| development alternative | An identified actual or possible-future bearer or arrangement that can answer the same bounded development question through a materially different Method, structure, characteristic profile, use, or failure mode. |
| variant | A bearer related to another bearer through a stated variation, derivation, transformation, lineage, or family relation. Resemblance or a shared label is insufficient. |
| live alternative | An alternative with sufficient applicable evidence of availability for its named later use and conditions. A title, file, archive row, maintenance plan or former capability alone does not make it live. |
| branch availability | An obtaining combination of bearer or arrangement, capable performing Agent or whole, required capabilities and dependencies, access, permission, rights, resources, and usable configuration for the named later use. |
| upkeep or reconstruction result | The world-side capability, access, relationship, configuration, or other condition obtained through a direct Music, Dance, teaching, archive, rights, capability, tool, event, operations, or engineering Method. A plan or record of that Work is not the result. |
| availability evidence | Dated evidence that the branch can still be reconstructed, rehearsed, performed, taught, configured, accessed, or otherwise used as claimed under representative conditions. |
| stepping stone | An alternative kept available because it enables later generation, learning, combination, representation change, source return, or reachability, even when it is not a current performance choice. |
| repertoire | Alternatives available to named performing Agents or performing wholes in named Work, not every stored artifact under one style label. |
| selection-pressure claim | A claim that may report only an association or trace, an obtaining rule or constraint, a causal-contribution hypothesis, or a bounded causal-use result. These claim strengths support different next moves. |
| archive/front membership | Results governed by C.18. Recorded, non-dominated, and live-for-this-question are different membership relations. |
current OptionSet | Options currently available for one C.11 choice. The wider development set can supply candidates to it but is not one permanent OptionSet. |
Novelty, diversity, usefulness, style recognition, embodied accessibility, technical feasibility, and cultural continuation are different characteristics and relations. A branch can be novel and unusable, useful and ordinary, weak now but a valuable stepping stone, visible but no longer reproducible, or stored but unavailable.
