MDPE.7:4 - Solution
Construct a small Music-or-Dance development OptionSet, compare it under one explicit domain ChoiceRule, obtain a lawful ChoiceResult, and relate that result to independently supported authority, permission, capability, and intended Work. The sections below present an ordinary first-use walkthrough of the MethodDescription. They expose the main relations and decision branches. A ChoiceResult depends on the current OptionSet and ChoiceRule from which it was obtained; other checks can overlap or recur. When the branching and return structure itself must be selected, persisted, or compared, represent it under A.22.CGUS.
MDPE.7:4.1 - Name the chooser, subject, and decision extent
Identify:
- the
DecisionSubjectandDecisionSubjectGranularity; - the Agent expected to perform later development Work, when different from the
DecisionSubject, and any assignment that changes the decision or that Work’s attribution; - the Music-or-Dance practice subject and current configuration;
- the current intended consequence and affected Systems;
- the decision horizon and resource limit; and
- the authority, permission, consent, safety, and refusal relations that obtain or remain missing.
Use local system-role kinds and assignments when attribution matters. Do not infer that a dancer decides for a pair, a bandleader for an ensemble, a teacher for a scene, a founder for a style, a robot for its development team, a platform for its users, or a statistical majority for a community.
MDPE.7:4.2 - Recover only results that can change this choice
Possible inputs include:
| Result | Use only when it changes |
|---|---|
MDPE.8 development focus | subject, scope, affected Systems, or current question |
MDPE.1 creation basis | intended use, material, performer, style-bearing constraint, or creation decision |
MDPE.9 candidate dispositions | which material or performance branches remain feasible |
MDPE.10 capability evidence | which performer-involving Work is feasible or what development is needed |
MDPE.3 performing configuration | whether constituents, interfaces, timing, space, sensing, or coordination support the option |
MDPE.11 performed-result and MDPE.5 occurrence results | which interpretation or material was realized, which occurrence was presented, and under which conditions |
MDPE.12 observations | which technical, bodily, partner, audience, recognition, or cultural claims change the comparison |
MDPE.13 arrangement result | whether recognition-and-selection design or local implementation is current |
MDPE.6 changed-condition choice | whether one result can be used, revised, branched, stopped, probed, or whether another question is current |
MDPE.14 practice-conflict decision | which selected change, preserved tension, split use, next observation, moved burdens, and residuals remain |
MDPE.15 local-change result | what actually changed or failed, the observations that support that result, and which later question remains |
MDPE.16 use-bounded alternative-availability result | which branches, stepping stones, repair needs, or tests remain live for the named later use |
MDPE.17–MDPE.20 cultural results | whether receiving enactment, lineage, continuation, loss, or trajectory evidence changes the present project choice |
No row is mandatory. A direct Method result can supply the needed input. If a result is unavailable and cannot change the choice, omit it rather than open a research project.
MDPE.7:4.3 - Construct a finite domain OptionSet
Build only options that the current DecisionSubject can actually choose or probe now. Useful option families include:
- continue or vary creation Work;
- run one performer-involving trial or observation;
- develop a named capability for representative Work;
- reconfigure a performing whole, Method relation, interface, or event arrangement;
- make one selected local change;
- retain, repair, suspend, or remove a development alternative;
- teach or obtain receiving enactment;
- improve a recognition or selection arrangement;
- repair a lineage or continuation account;
- perform bounded reconstruction, teaching, archival, or retirement Work after the applicable later result;
- run one trajectory-discriminating probe;
- perform or present one bounded Music-or-Dance occurrence under its direct Method;
- make one selected episteme edition available for a named use under
E.24.PUB; - stabilize an identified practice subject in a named configuration, or make that subject available for a named use under the applicable direct Method and relation.
These are families, not a compulsory menu. Define each concrete option by its intended Work, performing Agent, supporting non-agent Systems when needed, direct Method, intended result, conditions, resource demand, affected Systems, and stop or rollback condition. A concrete inquiry or problem-framing option names its bounded Work and intended result; the question to be answered is not itself Work. Options that belong to different choosers or decisions go into different OptionSet instances. Rejecting the current set is a ChoiceResult; another question is current identifies a different question and its applicable Method; a revisit condition says when to open the choice again. None is silently added as another Work option.
MDPE.7:4.4 - State the Music-or-Dance comparison basis
Use the characteristics and consequences that can reverse the present choice. Depending on the case, these can include:
- musical or movement value for the intended use;
- performer, partner, ensemble, audience, or participant effects;
- rhythmic, bodily, instrumental, spatial, interactive, or expressive constraints;
- safety, consent, accessibility, injury, fatigue, and refusal;
- capability, transfer, setup, venue, tool, latency, production, and resource demands;
- source continuity, attribution, rights, repertoire loss, and alternative-space value;
- recognition, participation, transmission, continuation, and cultural uncertainty; and
- information value of the next feasible trial or observation.
Use A.19.CPM when a formal comparison relation is needed. Keep incomparability, ties, must-constraints, and missing evidence visible. Do not make one score, applause count, follower count, standard, publication volume, or institutional claim stand for all consequences.
MDPE.7:4.5 - Apply one explicit ChoiceRule
Use C.11 to state the rule by which the current basis supports one of four results:
- choose now — one option or lawful tie-set survives and no further feasible probe is worth its cost;
- reject the current set — no current option survives; when more Work follows, name the question that becomes current;
- probe again — one feasible observation can still change which option survives or whether the set is rejected; or
- another question is current — the present issue is generation, pool policy, selected-set declaration, planning, enactment, cultural inquiry, or another named problem rather than local choice among the current options.
The domain ChoiceRule should say how protected Music-or-Dance characteristics, affected Systems, live alternatives, transfer horizon, cultural uncertainty, and present resource limits bear on the result. Expert judgement is allowed; hidden judgement is not.
MDPE.7:4.6 - Connect the choice to authority and intended Work
A ChoiceResult does not authorize or plan Work. Relate it to the conditions needed for use:
- the direct authority relation that independently supports the bounded choice; if no current direct governor exists, return the
A.6.RCDmissing-governor result rather than inferring authority from a job title or assignment; - the practice-developing Agent and, when different, the Agent that can perform the intended Work, with supporting non-agent Systems named separately;
- permission or non-prohibition through
A.2.8.PERwhen applicable, without treating it as authority, capability, readiness, or success; - the intended bounded Work and result, without claiming that the Work occurred;
- a
U.WorkPlanunderA.15.2only when planning is current; and - a tool or call plan under
C.24only when that planning is current.
This is a relation inventory, not a first–then Work sequence. Some relations may already obtain before the comparison; others can remain missing after a lawful choice.
If the System that compared the options lacks decision authority, return a recommendation to the named DecisionSubject. If no current authority relation supports the bounded choice, return an unavailable-decision account with the blocked decision and retry condition. If a decision under supported authority exists but permission, capability, resources, or another Work-entry condition is missing, keep the choice and return the unavailable-Work condition separately. Do not widen the chooser label to make either gap disappear.
MDPE.7:4.7 - State revisit, stop, and rollback conditions
Name observations that can reopen the decision, such as:
- a representative performer or pair cannot perform the representative Work under the selected branch;
- safety, consent, accessibility, effort, partner readability, musical plausibility, or another must-constraint fails;
- a changed configuration invalidates evidence;
- a retained alternative becomes feasible or a selected one loses source return;
- the receiving population or event conditions change;
- another bounded probe can now reverse the choice;
- authority, permission, capability, or resources change; or
- the question crosses from local project Work to transmission, retention, loss, or trajectory inquiry.
State rollback or safe-stop treatment when the selected Work can damage a bearer, performer, repertoire, event, or relationship.
MDPE.7:4.8 - Return the next-development decision account
Return a readable account containing:
Next Music-or-Dance development decision account:
DecisionSubject and granularity:
practice subject, configuration, use, and affected Systems:
current OptionSet:
admitted source results and limits:
comparison basis and domain ChoiceRule:
lawful ChoiceResult and reason:
another current question and applicable Method, when needed:
authority, permission, consent, and refusal boundary:
practice-developing Agent or intended Work performer:
intended bounded Work and result:
protected characteristics and retained alternatives:
resource, capability, safety, and evidence limits:
revisit, stop, rollback, or retry condition:
If ChoiceResult = probe again, the next bounded development Work can be the named probe when authority and capability obtain. If ChoiceResult = another question is current, name that question and its applicable pattern or direct Method; do not wrap the question change in an invented Work decision.
MDPE.7:4.9 - What Changes in Practice
Before this pattern, a project reacts to the latest performance, metric, opinion, or trend. After it, the DecisionSubject can show the bounded options, the domain rule, the evidence that matters, the authority boundary, the intended Work, and the condition that would reopen the choice. The next step becomes small enough to perform and informative enough to develop the named practice.
