MDPE.24:2.4 - Try the existing-whole explanation

Before enlarging the project, ask whether the observed novelty can be handled by a smaller repair:

  • a performer or teacher developed a new capability;
  • a Method or repertoire changed while the practice remained the same whole;
  • an event series added a provider, venue, or publication System;
  • a camera, judge, recommender, or market relation changed visibility or selection;
  • a new archive or curriculum improved memory;
  • measurement or recognition became more discriminating;
  • an architecture view omitted an already existing relation.

When one of these explanations carries the current claim, keep the existing whole. Engineer the changed System, Method, capability, memory, or relation directly. Importance, novelty, synergy, complexity, or surprise does not force whole reidentification.
