SYSE.10:4.0.1 - Keep Different Decision Inputs Distinct

Keep each decision input’s kind explicit. An evidence-bearing result keeps its kind; state how it bears on a named claim under A.10. An objective, reward, loss, or heuristic enters C.11 as the evaluative or choice-rule input it actually supplies; a number does not make it evidence. A novelty or surprise characterization remains a characteristic claim. Use SYSE.10 to assess the engineering claim and its evidence use. The deciding Agent separately applies C.11 to choose a current option or record a next-probe result.
