ME.20:4.4 - Retain Only What Another Use Needs

An ordinary continuation answer needs the current difficulty, selected knowledge, available/blocked/unknown action, first missing fact, and stop or return. Retain an existing result by reference when it already carries the needed claims.

Only when another turn must cite, compare, audit, or rely on the connected answer, keep a Situated Method-Architecture Result as an ordinary C.2.1 episteme. Its content includes the architecture claims and statuses in use, their source/result returns, the current continuations and conditions, the affected-delta answer, and the next return. This is a descriptive result name, not a new root kind or mandatory register.

Its EntityOfConcern is the exact architecture question or proposed set being considered, or an independently qualified selected structure when that is actually the subject. Do not use a fictitious CGUS as the concern of an ordinary proposal. A changed ClaimGraph, EntityOfConcern, or effective ReferenceScheme changes episteme identity under C.2.1; any continuity between results needs its own meaningful basis.

The profile/language episteme, a description of one Method, a selected structure, a continuation judgement, a next-action decision, a WorkPlan, performed Work, and evidence retain their separate identities. One result may cite another; that does not merge their subjects or claims.
