OPS.4:4.1 - Pattern-Use Unfolding
Name participants and decisions. State who must resume, coordinate, hold, release, escalate, or perform next Work; name the horizon and useful stop for each action.
Import exact subjects and relations. Use the OPS.3 operating-subject account. Do not let a dashboard row, case file, queue position, or control diagram replace the subject or obtaining relation.
Select only decision-changing claims. For each subject or commitment, state the current claim, effective scheme, conditions, time or horizon, and action it can change.
Attach evidence and provenance. Name source, observation or result, carrier, transformation, version, evidence reach, and uncertainty needed for reliance. Keep prediction, plan, observation, and decision claims distinct.
Expose conflict and absence. Preserve incompatible claims, missing observations, stale evidence, unknown authority, and unresolved specialist returns. Do not average them into false agreement.
Recover permissions and authority. State who may read, write, annotate, accept, hold, release, or change each relied-on claim or decision. Keep assignment, capability, responsibility, permission, and authority separate.
State next decisions and permissible Work. Name what is enabled, blocked, awaiting evidence, or returned to a specialist; include the condition and participant that can advance it.
Construct participant views. Select the smallest representation for each action. Preserve subject identity and claim correspondence; show what the view omits and where claims conflict, and provide a return to the owning account. Do not require one screen.
Keep control views separate. A selected FPF control view may expose observer, controller, plant, supervisor, observation, actuation, feedback, and rates. The account carries qualified operating claims about those subjects and relations; the view or loop picture establishes neither current state, feedback closure, rate adequacy, stability, safety, authority, nor an Operations Method.
Test interruption and handoff when current. Use A.15.8 for the general Work or WorkPlan performance-configuration question. Ask a representative next participant to recover the bounded question, current claims, evidence, disagreements, permissions, next Work, and stop without private memory.
Refresh, expire, and reopen. State update sources, expected cadence or event, expiry rule, supersession and conflict handling, and the observation that reopens only the affected claim, view, or decision.
