MDPE.Preface:8 - What this publication foregrounds and leaves outside

This publication foregrounds five connected problem families: selecting the engineering subject and style-development architecture; creating performance possibilities and preparing the performing whole; performing and making decision-relevant differences observable and selectable; transferring and keeping a reproducible practice; and developing the supporting environment, resolving practice conflicts, performing a selected local change, preserving alternatives, testing trajectories, and choosing the next bounded Work.

It does not contain scores, choreographies, exercises, curricula, event procedures, software, instrument techniques, artistic canons, legal or safety decisions, or complete domain histories. Use their direct Methods, sources, and authorities. The pattern bodies state where such results enter and what they can support. Systems Engineering, Human Capability Development, Method Engineering, Organization Engineering, Operations Management, Rhythmics, and other DPFs remain separate framework products. Check whether a usable edition of a sibling framework is available before relying on it.
