MDPE.22:3.3 - Generate alternatives that change different relations

Generate alternatives from different parts of the support arrangement. For a dance practice that remains trapped in class, alternatives might include:

  • add a recurring social practice with suitable music and varied partners;
  • change the teaching Method so class Work includes partner response and uncued use;
  • develop another organizer and teacher rather than add more learner places;
  • partner with an existing event instead of creating a new venue; or
  • keep the class as a stage or fitness practice and stop claiming social-practice transfer.

For a live-coding Music line, alternatives might change rehearsal access, technical support, performer onboarding, event curation, audience orientation, streaming configuration, or follow-up publication. They are different because they change different relations and can produce different failure modes.

Keep enough genuinely different alternatives to avoid treating the first infrastructure idea as inevitable. A low-cost probe is useful only when its attainable contribution warrants its whole burden; neither its low price nor this comparison requires a further experiment after a sufficient result. C.17–C.19 and MDPE.16 govern stronger open-ended alternative sets.
