MMP.9:4.4 - Evaluate the replacement inside the retained evolution
Write the model that will actually be used, including its initial values, any auxiliary variables, input rule and observation interpretation. Construct the requested output from that model. Substituting the closure into known source trajectories tests a different computation from letting it generate successive retained states.
Compare the retained source result and the reduced result for the same admitted initial case and input. For an identity, use the derivation to establish the covered equality. For an approximation, propagate the discrepancy to the requested output and horizon through C.29.1:4.5. A numerical scheme adds its own approximation; include it when it can change the answer. A.3.3.PI:4.5 supplies the repeated-use and changed-condition questions.
For a probabilistic model, choose the distributional feature the work needs. Agreement of a mean can coexist with different variance, correlations or event probabilities. A further observable is worth checking when it can change the planned use. State which result the comparison supports rather than extending one fitted statistic to the whole model.
When inputs are chosen from observations, retain the information the choice rule uses. If reduction removes that information, formulate the revised choice under MMP.8 before claiming that the same intervention or control method remains available. A changed intervention also requires the corresponding source law or mechanism under C.28.MR.
