MMP.16:9 - Consequences

The next observation becomes a constructed part of modeling: a specified change in available information with a stated consequence. A no-separation result can redirect effort from repeated measurement to a different readout, access route or question.

Good designs depend on assumptions about records and their use. A computed optimum can change when the observer, cost, model family or research horizon changes. For expensive searches, a sufficient feasible design may be more useful than a more precisely optimized proposal.

In methodology, the same construction helps compare alternative accounts of a working method. Choose a case or observation that makes their consequential disagreement visible. Human and automated procedures can both be studied this way; the subject method supplies what can be changed and observed.
