Part I - Engineering Subject and Style-Development Architecture

§	ID & Title	Keywords & Search Queries	Dependencies
1	MDPE.8 - Characterize the Music-or-Dance Work, Methods, and Change Question	Keywords: performance, practice, Method, style, material, medium, performing whole, change question. Queries: “What is actually changing in this music or dance project?” “Does the difficulty concern performed Work, capability, a reproducible practice, or its supporting environment?” Characterize the subjects and simultaneous contributions well enough to choose a bounded engineering question and evidence that addresses the right result.	FPF A.15.1, A.3.2, C.32.MWA
2	MDPE.1 - Frame a Music-or-Dance Work, Practice, Style, or Medium Project	Keywords: creation brief, piece, performance project, practice development, style line, festival, school, medium. Queries: “What result should this music or dance project produce, for whom and at what scale?” “Are several linked briefs needed for different subjects?” Frame the bounded project, intended use, conditions, and success questions so later creation, realization, and observation concern the same undertaking.	MDPE.8; FPF A.15.6, C.11
3	MDPE.21 - Design How a Music-or-Dance Style Is Produced and Reproduced	Keywords: style development, production, reproduction, variant, performer, teaching, recognition, selection, cultural architecture. Queries: “How will later performers produce and receivers recognize the intended distinctions?” “Which different arrangements could sustain that style across performances and changed conditions?” Compare the Methods, capabilities, memories, and support relations that produce and reproduce the practice, then select a bounded architecture and specify its first test.	MDPE.8, MDPE.1; FPF C.32.MWA, C.36
4	MDPE.24 - Decide Whether a Music-or-Dance Practice Has Formed a New Whole	Keywords: new practice, style line, new whole, scene, event system, persistence, architecture, reidentification. Queries: “Do the observed relations warrant treating this practice as a new whole?” “Can the existing scene or arrangement still explain the result that matters?” Examine the supported identity and persistence claims before changing the project subject, its architecture, or the decisions assigned to the proposed whole.	MDPE.21, MDPE.12; FPF A.1, A.22, C.36

§	ID & Title	Keywords & Search Queries	Dependencies
5	MDPE.9 - Generate and Compare Music-or-Dance Performance Candidates	Keywords: performance candidates, composition, choreography, interpretation, movement, instrument, generative model, variation, comparison. Queries: “Which materially different candidates expose the current creative assumption?” “What observation involving a performer could change our choice?” Generate and compare possibilities with their bodily, instrumental, partner, venue, and rehearsal conditions, then retain, revise, branch, or reject candidates for the intended use.	MDPE.1; FPF C.17, C.18, C.19
6	MDPE.10 - Develop and Test Music-or-Dance Performing Capability	Keywords: performing capability, rehearsal, learning, representative task, transfer, performer, ensemble, robot, assistance. Queries: “Who must become capable of performing what under which conditions?” “Does the ability survive a changed partner, cue, instrument, or setting?” Develop and test the limiting contribution in representative Work, including simultaneous bodily, expressive, instrumental, and coordination demands, and return the demonstrated capability envelope.	MDPE.9; FPF A.2.2, E.23.CDI
7	MDPE.3 - Configure and Coordinate a Music-or-Dance Performing Whole	Keywords: performing whole, performer, partner, instrument, prosthesis, robot, venue, sensing, timing, coordination. Queries: “Which configuration lets the performers carry out the intended performance with their partners, instruments, and other support?” “Where do individually capable performers or working tools fail through latency, contact, cues, control, or recovery?” Configure the smallest useful whole and its external support relations, and test the interactions that make representative performance possible.	MDPE.9, MDPE.10; FPF A.15.1, A.22

§	ID & Title	Keywords & Search Queries	Dependencies
8	MDPE.11 - Interpret or Shape Music-or-Dance Material While Performing	Keywords: interpretation, improvisation, live coding, score, choreography, material, cue, responsive performance. Queries: “How is prepared material interpreted or new material shaped while performing?” “Which live partner, timing, instrument, or participation constraint changes the move?” Keep the performer’s contribution and the actual conditions visible as material is realized, varied, or generated, preserving only traces that a later decision needs.	MDPE.3; FPF A.15.7
9	MDPE.5 - Integrate Production and Presentation for Performed Music-or-Dance Work	Keywords: performed Work, production, presentation, concert, social dance, event, recording, stream, intended use. Queries: “Do production and presentation results work together for this performed occurrence?” “What actually happened for the performers and receivers under these conditions?” Integrate the bounded music or dance Work with its production and presentation contributions, retaining the evidence needed to judge the intended use.	MDPE.3, MDPE.11; FPF A.15.1, E.24.PUB
10	MDPE.12 - Observe and Compare Music-or-Dance Performance and Cultural Results	Keywords: performance observation, partner response, listener, judge, sensor, comparison, cultural result, evidence limits. Queries: “Which observed difference can change this music or dance decision?” “What can sound, video, interaction, self-report, or population evidence actually show?” Compare the relevant performance and cultural claims for their specific subjects, conditions, populations, and intervals, then return the supported result and remaining uncertainty.	MDPE.5; FPF A.10, A.19.ECS
11	MDPE.23 - Develop and Test Music-or-Dance Recognition Capability	Keywords: recognition capability, listening, discrimination, timing, style recognition, applicability, cue dependence, transfer. Queries: “Can this performer, listener, partner, teacher, or recognizer detect the intended distinction?” “Does recognition work without the training cue and in a changed situation?” Develop and test the exact recognition task, locating the remaining discrimination, retrieval, applicability, or action difficulty for the named holder.	MDPE.12; FPF A.2.2, E.23.CDI
12	MDPE.13 - Design How Music-or-Dance Variants Are Recognized and Selected	Keywords: recognition, selection, judging, curation, competition, recommendation, programme, access rule, feedback. Queries: “Which variants does this arrangement make visible and reward?” “How do performers and teachers adapt to what is selected?” Compare bounded recognition-and-selection arrangements through their criteria, proxy effects, access consequences, feedback, and retained alternatives for the actual practice and participants. Return a selected design and observation plan, or grounds to retain the current arrangement.	MDPE.12, MDPE.23; FPF C.36, C.11

Part IV - Changed Conditions, Transmission, Memory, and Continuation

§	ID & Title	Keywords & Search Queries	Dependencies
13	MDPE.6 - Choose Whether and How to Use a Music-or-Dance Result under New Conditions	Keywords: adaptation, changed instrument, body, partner, venue, medium, reuse, revision, branch, preservation. Queries: “Can this music or dance result serve a new receiving use?” “Which timing, interaction, function, or meaning must survive the change?” Compare source and receiving conditions, identify the relations that matter, and choose reuse, revision, branching, a discriminating probe, or a stop for the bounded case.	FPF C.11, C.34
14	MDPE.17 - Design and Test Transmission of a Music-or-Dance Method	Keywords: transmission, teaching, receiving enactment, demonstration, imitation, reconstruction, transfer, retention, source contribution. Queries: “What Method did the receiving performer’s Work actually enact?” “Which contribution from teaching, demonstration, or material to that result does the evidence support?” Design and test receiving enactment under relevant conditions, allowing productive variants and exposing cue dependence, prior capability, and the evidence limits on transmission.	MDPE.6; FPF C.28, A.10
15	MDPE.18 - Build Usable Music-or-Dance Cultural Memory and Lineage Evidence	Keywords: cultural memory, archive, recording, score, embodied knowledge, lineage, borrowing, reconstruction, provenance. Queries: “What can the surviving records and capabilities support for this decision?” “Which lineage claims need another source or reconstruction trial?” Build a usable memory and lineage account that preserves selected traces, embodied gaps, mixed derivations, and source returns for attribution, teaching, restoration, or later performance.	FPF A.3.1.MR, C.2.1, A.10
16	MDPE.19 - Decide Whether a Music-or-Dance Variant Can Continue and What to Change	Keywords: continuation, retention, restoration, loss, reproducibility, replacement performer, teaching, venue, cultural variant. Queries: “Can present participants reproduce this variant in representative Work?” “Which failing capability, support, memory, or transmission relation prevents another occurrence?” Use available evidence for a qualified continuation account or decision about retention, restoration, revision, local retirement or bounded loss. Select a new reproduction test only when its attainable contribution warrants the whole burden. Claims of tested continuation, tested replacement or later enactment need representative observed Work; causal-contribution claims need appropriate evidence.	MDPE.17, MDPE.18; FPF C.36, A.10

Part V - Supporting Environment, Practice Conflicts, Local Change, Alternatives, Trajectories, and Next Work

§	ID & Title	Keywords & Search Queries	Dependencies
17	MDPE.22 - Test a Support-Environment Change for a Music-or-Dance Practice	Keywords: practice environment, venue, school, platform, tools, access, organizer, support Work, resource burden. Queries: “Which environmental relation must change for this practice to continue?” “After the support intervention, which surrounding relations hold and what music or dance result was observed?” Test the chosen change through actual practitioner and receiving Work, exposing missing capability, authorization, access, recurring support, or burdens shifted to others.	MDPE.1, MDPE.12; FPF A.2.2, A.22, C.28
18	MDPE.14 - Choose a Response to Conflicting Music-or-Dance Results	Keywords: conflicting results, local optimization, rhythm, expression, partner response, safety, participation, scale, Work overlap. Queries: “Which improvement damages another result that still matters?” “What part-whole, scale-order, simultaneous-Work, slower-constraint, or representation relation creates the conflict?” Recover the actual relationship and choose a bounded response that respects the relevant performer, partner, whole-performance, and practice consequences.	MDPE.12, MDPE.21; FPF C.32.MWA, C.11
19	MDPE.15 - Make and Test a Local Music-or-Dance Practice Change	Keywords: local practice change, intervention, trial, revised exercise, rule, tool, Method, observed result. Queries: “What exactly changed in this bounded intervention?” “What did the trial establish for the next practice decision?” Perform and test the already-selected local change, observe its direct result under stated conditions, and return the supported revision or next question while retaining unresolved capability and cultural claims.	MDPE.6, MDPE.14; FPF A.15.1, A.10, C.11
20	MDPE.16 - Keep Music-or-Dance Alternatives Available for Later Use	Keywords: development alternatives, diversity, minority variant, later use, branch, capability, access, archive. Queries: “Which materially different alternatives remain usable for a later need?” “Does a changed condition require upkeep, or does current availability still suffice?” Retain supported alternatives with their actual performers, capabilities, relationships, tools, rights and conditions. Select upkeep or trials only when needed, worthwhile and obtainable; an older evidence carrier alone does not end availability.	MDPE.9, MDPE.12; FPF C.18, C.19, B.3.4, G.11
21	MDPE.20 - Forecast How a Music-or-Dance Practice May Develop	Keywords: practice development, forecast, trajectory, mechanism, cultural change, observation, competing explanation, revision. Queries: “How might this practice develop through different mechanisms?” “What preparation or continuation is supported now, and what would justify further observation?” Return qualified trajectories and a current development decision on the available basis. A claimed empirical update names its obtained observation and transfer limits; a sufficient current forecast requires no new trial or renewal record.	MDPE.12, MDPE.16; FPF B.5.2, A.3.3, C.28, C.11, B.3.4
22	MDPE.7 - Choose the Next Music-or-Dance Development Work	Keywords: next development Work, choice, probe, refusal, rehearsal, intervention, opportunity cost, current evidence. Queries: “Which bounded action is worth doing next in this music or dance project?” “Would a trial, a repair, or keeping a branch available help most, or does a different question need an answer?” Use the actual performance, capability, transmission, support, and development results to select the next useful Work within its conditions.	MDPE.12, MDPE.15, MDPE.20; FPF C.11, C.24
