PSD.3:4.1 - Fix the receiving inquiry, not the problem answer

State the subject, recipient, receiving decision or Work, horizon, and retained choice owner from PSD.1. Import only those PSD.2 participants, affected Systems, concerns, duties, interests, and dissent that can change this inquiry. If the subject or receiving use differs, create or recover the other engagement rather than merging formulations across identities.

Write the current formulation in one sentence. Mark its source, factual support, assumptions, and important exclusions. This makes the default frame inspectable rather than privileged.
