SYSE.3:0.1 - Terms and Distinctions

CueMeaning used here
realizationActual or intended Work and transformations by which an engineered System or configuration can be produced or changed. A description or decision does not realize its subject.
creator, builder, developer, or manufacturerA cue to recover separately the admitted System, its local SystemRole and assignment, its capability, its Method, and its performed Work.
realization-network descriptionA project episteme that describes proposed transformations, participating Systems, result dependencies, and gaps for one current realization question. It is not the selected world-side structure it describes.
selected realization networkAn A.22/E.18.NET U.Structure established through independently identified transformation-flow or nested-network members, obtaining cross-boundary relations, endpoint bindings, and one use frame. Other project descriptions contribute only the claims that support those values.
build the builderA recursive branch in which Work changes or produces a System, capability, Method support, tool, or platform needed by later realization Work. It is not a permanent creator hierarchy.
platform or toolchainA cue to identify the enabling Systems, services, interfaces, capabilities, and conditions that matter here, then establish their availability, fit, Work, and integration contributions separately.

An engineer is an admitted System classified by and assigned to an engineering SystemRole for the Work. The performer System, SystemRole, assignment, Method, capability, WorkPlan, Work, transformation, result episteme, and engineered System remain distinct.
