MDPE.6:3 - Solution
Apply C.11 to the choice for the changed Music-or-Dance use. Direct Methods supply the concrete result; MDPE.6 supplies a domain-specific option set and comparison rule over continuity, receiving fit, repairable failure, derivation, loss, and preservation of alternatives.
MDPE.6:3.1 - Bind one chooser and one receiving use
State one sentence:
[chooser] must decide how [source result] may be used for [receiving use] after [conditions] changed.
Name the result’s kind instead of using material or practice as an umbrella. A score, sounding occurrence, movement description, Method, dancer–prosthesis configuration, class design, and event arrangement are different subjects. Name each when the decision governs several of them.
The chooser is the C.11 DecisionSubject: for example, an arranger responsible for a concert recommendation, a choreographer responsible for maintained material, or a teaching team responsible for a receiving class. Technical ability, authorship, funding, or platform control does not silently grant authority. Obtain authority, permission, consent, responsibility, and commitment through their governing Methods.
MDPE.6:3.2 - Establish the direct result and the changed conditions
Use the direct Method’s actual result. Record only differences that can alter the receiving choice. Useful condition families, offered as examples, are:
- performer and body configuration: morphology, effectors, sensing, control, fatigue, injury, prosthesis, robot, or AI contribution;
- musical or movement carrier: instrument, tuning, range, notation, floor, contact, spatial relation, partner, ensemble, or medium;
- performance use: social interaction, stage, competition, installation, recording, class, rehearsal, or publication;
- participation and support: consent, safety, access, teaching capability, venue, equipment, time, cost, or maintenance; and
- cultural relation: expected recognizers, lineage claim, source attribution, scene boundary, or retained alternatives.
Keep the smallest set of condition families that can change the decision. Unsupported differences remain unknown rather than assumed loss or equivalence.
MDPE.6:3.3 - Form the available options
The default option family is:
| Option | Keep it only when |
|---|---|
| use as obtained | the direct result meets every must-condition for the receiving use and no decision-bearing mismatch requires change; |
| revise before use | an already-described, feasible change can repair the mismatch without erasing a useful alternative that must remain; |
| branch | source and receiving variants both matter, or the changed condition makes one identity misleading; derivation and limits can be stated; |
| stop this receiving use | no current option meets must-conditions or the decision lacks authority, permission, capability, or acceptable risk. |
Omit impossible options. Do not invent them inside late-stage choice Work. If candidate material or action options still have to be generated or reframed, use the applicable creation Method, MDPE.9, C.18, or the applicable current FPF pattern for unfinished next-action recovery. A capable Agent begins the selected local change only after the separate choice, through Work that enacts the applicable direct Method. That change Work does not generate the option set for MDPE.6.
MDPE.6:3.4 - Apply a Music-or-Dance comparison rule
Make the rule readable before calculating or scoring anything:
- eliminate an option that violates a receiving-use veto such as consent, safety, performer capability, a required musical or movement relation, or a non-negotiable production constraint;
- among the survivors, compare supported use, repair burden, known loss, uncertainty, derivation clarity, and whether a valuable source or receiving alternative disappears;
- keep ties and incomparable options visible rather than hiding them in one score; and
- prefer another observation only when an affordable observation can change the surviving option set or the choice among survivors.
The relevant relations are case-specific. Music can require range, articulation, timbre, phrasing, pulse, balance, ensemble cueing, or recording behavior. Dance can require effort, weight transfer, spine, focus, timing, contact, partner readability, floor use, consent, or spatial safety. These are examples of decision-bearing characteristics, not a checklist to complete.
Use C.17 when a characteristic claim needs support and C.11.CRC when the decision depends on what one finite candidate contributes relative to the receiving configuration. Neither characterization chooses or authorizes the use.
MDPE.6:3.5 - Decide whether to probe again
Name the best next feasible observation: a rehearsal, partner trial, instrument comparison, recognition task, safety check, or other direct probe. State what result would change the choice and what the probe costs.
Probe again only when the observation can remove or create a survivor, break a tie, show that the current set should be rejected, or reveal that the question belongs elsewhere. Do not keep probing merely because uncertainty remains. If the observation would change only the implementation of an already-selected option, close this choice and plan the later Work separately.
MDPE.6:3.6 - Return the receiving-use decision
Return, in plain language:
chooser and receiving use:
source result and changed conditions:
available options:
must-conditions and comparison basis:
decision: use as obtained | revise | branch | reject current set | probe again | neighboring question
preserved, changed, added, lost, and unknown relations that justify the decision:
authority, permission, capability, or evidence still required:
condition that reopens the decision:
This is the domain form of a C.11 ChoiceResult, not a new record kind. Use the shortest form that makes the choice and limits recoverable.
If the decision is revise or branch, a capable Agent performs Work that enacts the applicable direct Music, Dance, teaching, production, event, tool, or engineering Method and that makes and tests the selected change. If a broader development action or choice remains, use A.15.7 during current Work or C.11 for an already formed bounded choice. Use planning Methods only after the choice; a decision does not schedule an edit, rehearsal, lesson, performance, or release.
