PHY.2:4.6 - Return to the target and change the useful part

Use the result in the target work: choose a preparation, interpret an observation, propose a mechanism, reject a construction, or change the design of an experiment. Explain the physical route that makes the result relevant. EXD.3, in Explanation Design DPF, helps coordinate the words, diagram and equations another participant needs to recover that reasoning. C.2.8 characterizes the structure a recipient can extract with their available preparation and effort.

When a consequence fails or the question changes, locate the affected connection. Did the chosen source law fail, did connection change the source behavior, did computation or observation distort the result, or did the target correspondence omit an important difference? B.5.MPC.R supports this diagnosis. Revise the physical mechanism, state, preparation or correspondence that the failure implicates and retain the contributions that still work.

Keep a newly revealed question when pursuing it could open useful action. The next task can concern the target, the source or their connection. If the new construction changes what participants must produce or how their contributions join, ME.7 helps develop that proposed composition. ME.12 checks claims about the method and its description, and locates the contribution that needs correction.
