MDPE.24:3 - First Useful Result
A project-boundary decision can be kept in this compact form:
- Decision affected: [what engineering, funding, maintenance, measurement, or responsibility changes].
- Existing whole: [the current EntityOfConcern and its identity-through-change rule].
- Candidate new whole: [the grounded candidate and proposed admitted kind].
- Observed change: [the world-side change that raised the question].
- Existing-whole explanations tried: [the smaller repairs that may carry the claim].
- Whole-making relations observed: [boundary, construction, states, memory, transitions, selection, persistence, downward effect, and larger-assembly fit as applicable].
- Decision: [keep existing whole / reidentify candidate whole / open].
- Project consequence: [changed boundary, architecture question, Work, measure, authority, or no change].
- Needed observation: [only when the result remains open].
- Reopen condition: [new construction, loss of persistence, changed identity rule, or contrary evidence].
The record describes a decision about actual wholes. It does not create either whole, make a label into a kind, or turn evidence and models into world-side construction.
