PSD.3:12 - Relations

  • PSD.1 supplies the bounded subject, receiving use, horizon, recipient, and authority boundary. PSD.2 supplies material participants, affected Systems, concerns, duties, interests, and dissent.
  • PSD.4 receives the plural set when the current included/excluded problem boundary must be chosen. PSD.5 receives formulation-dependent model needs.
  • PSD.8 receives formulation-dependent alternative families; it does not retroactively define the problem. PSD.16 can use the plural formulation set when deciding how to resolve material interference in the engagement.
  • C.17 may characterize novelty, diversity, or use of the generated set. C.18 governs archive/front/generation-record stewardship only when those objects are actually needed.
  • Direct episteme, evidence, relation, value, causal, legal, ethical, safety, governance, and choice patterns govern their own claims. PSD.3 neither ranks the set nor authorizes the later choice.
