RMP.Preface:10 - Connect corpus synthesis and exact revision

Use RMP.7 when the question concerns what a corpus jointly establishes. First inspect whether a supplied synthesis already answers it. Otherwise recover the reports, underlying studies or sources, their dependence, exclusions and missing contributions. The question and applicable Method determine whether to pool estimates, compare results without an aggregate, develop an interpretation, reconcile historical accounts or relate mixed findings.

A synthesis preserves useful differences. Two reports from one study may add information without adding independent support. A shared theme can remain situated rather than becoming a population percentage. A refusal to estimate a common magnitude can finish when it says what the corpus does and does not establish.

Use RMP.8 when that result or an individual analysis changes a wider claim, model or actual receiving use. Identify the same subject and conditions on both sides, retain the supported part and reconcile the affected dependent claims. A date for a decision does not by itself explain the later implementation. An unsupported field-transfer premise can invalidate a model’s field prediction while leaving its laboratory relation usable.

Return the current answer with the basis, uncertainty and limitation that changes reliance. Known consequential uses need the permitted correction through their responsible owner. A short linked explanation may suffice; neither an unused change form nor a general consumer register is required. A worthwhile new research possibility remains a separate question of attainable contribution and whole burden.

For a contribution that includes a reusable Method, use RMP.8’s publication branch to distinguish the supported knowledge from its article, pattern or framework presentation. Reconstructing a derivation, rerunning a calculation, obtaining new measurements and transferring the Method require different means and agreement criteria. The calibration case shows what remains unchanged across publications and what a shortened account must not lose.
