RMP.Preface:6 - Pattern relations do not prescribe a research lifecycle

RMP.1 → RMP.2 is a result dependency only when a passing ResearchQuestionBrief and compatible current frame exist. RMP.2 can be entered directly with those supplied inputs. Either pattern can stop. A changed receiving question or frame returns to RMP.1; a changed selection premise reopens RMP.2.

RMP.3 can consume a compatible supplied brief and selected design. RMP.4 can preserve records before operationalization is complete or start directly from inherited work. RMP.5 can examine supplied material and analysis; RMP.6 can enter with a bounded claim and threat before or after new study work. Actual material or criticism can reopen a question, design or operation. The Table of Contents exposes RMP.1–RMP.9 in five reading Parts; neither Part order nor numbering is a research calendar. RMP.7 can enter from a supplied synthesis question, design and trace; RMP.8 can enter from an actual analysis, criticism or synthesis result. RMP.9 can enter from actual performance, criticism or a changed receiving use. Its result reopens only the dependent research contribution; a completed inquiry need not start Method improvement.
