RHY.13:10 - Architectural Rationale

Tempo, representation, support and embodiment change different aspects of a rhythmic task. The same relative pattern can exceed an actuator’s recovery time; an unchanged learner can receive less information; a new partner can require a different correction relation. The probe must preserve these differences to make its result useful.

HCD supplies the human testing logic. RHY supplies the rhythm-specific changed conditions and interprets their effects on the performed relations. The Method also supports tests of equipped or nonhuman performance, with the development mechanism and physical realization judged through their own Methods.
