MDPE.20:0.1 - Working Distinctions
| Claim or subject | Keep separate here |
|---|---|
| possible trajectory | A conditional episteme about how a named practice or distribution may change; not the future practice itself. |
| geometric prototype or centrality | A relation in one declared representation and candidate space; not a dynamical attractor by itself. |
| statistical cluster | A pattern in observations or represented cases; not a transformation mechanism or future. |
| reconstruction bias | A tendency in repeated perception, memory, imitation, teaching, or reproduction under stated conditions; not population selection by itself. |
| increasing frequency or prevalence | A population characteristic over a period and sampling basis; not necessarily retention, equilibrium, value, or causal mechanism. |
| lineage or reconstructed ancestor | A historical relation or hypothesis; not a prediction of later change. |
| dynamics attractor | A claim requiring a state space, transition relation or law, conditions, and basin or stability evidence under A.3.3; not a synonym for recognizable style. |
| project choice | A decision by an admitted Agent within authority; not later recognition, selection, transmission, retention, or loss in a practitioner population. |
| publication of a forecast | Work that can itself change attention and later observations; not an intervention effect merely because influence is possible. |
Use Agent for a dancer, musician, teacher, organizer, curator, human development team, robot, or AI participant when enough agency is established for the named contribution. Use System for instruments, bodies, floors, venues, software, records, platforms, media, and other participants when agency is not current.
