ME.4:4.1 - Pattern-Use Unfolding

1. Bound the receiving use and sources. Name the decision, relevant viewpoint, scope, and exclusions. For each documentary source give its exact edition or snapshot, source-return locator, role in this use, selected recovery profile, and currentness or reopening condition. One package normally needs one compact source/use statement, not a separate register.
2. Choose how much to recover. Use the profiles below. A maintained source’s source-local recovery and comparison with current alternatives answer different questions; do not let the comparison erase a source contribution before it has been understood.
3. Read source meaning before placement. For each selected contribution retain the source term and locator, difficulty or opportunity, asserted reusable action or change, first useful result or blocker, and receiving use. Keep its original status, limits, purpose, and explicit or implied relations. A source ambiguity remains an ambiguity.
4. Preserve the subject and evidence role. Distinguish identified Methods, individually scoped candidate accounts, MethodDescriptions or other epistemes, Systems and support/access, capabilities and assignments, inputs/results/premises, and direct relations. A source’s report of evidence is recovered as that report, not as independently established Work or effectiveness. Send a new question about a reusable way in occurrence evidence to A.3.1.MR; specialist ME.18 follows only under its entry condition.
5. Record intended use and possible loss. Say what the receiving use proposes to keep, change, reject, or leave unresolved and what source meaning or context would be lost. These are source-local recovery dispositions. Do not yet assert cross-source sameness, perform semantic merging, allocate a remainder to a supplier, or design the resulting pattern language.
6. Recover direct relations and small dependency slices. Retain supported production/use, schema correspondence, provider access, allocation, responsibility, authority, or other relevant relations. A line, container, chapter, lane, or local section supplies no relation. Attach only the source claims, conditions, and returns needed for the next judgement.
7. Prepare the actual downstream subjects. ME.5 receives only identified Methods and individually scoped candidate Method accounts, each with the smallest slice needed to judge contribution, inputs/results, applicability, burden, capability, support, authority/access, and evidence. ME.7 receives a proposed-whole account when whole identity and relations are the question; retain its proposed semantics, participant statuses, relation boundary, and source slices. Other kinds remain in the dossier or accompany those subjects without becoming Methods.
8. Return the dossier or the first blocking gap. Use open navigation sections when they help retrieval. Stop when the receiving decision can recover its subjects and source basis. If edition, role, receiving use, a needed current comparator, source return, kind, relation, or evidence is missing, name the affected contribution and the missing basis. Do not manufacture corpus completeness.
