SYSE.47:4.3 - Implement observable continuations
Connect the steps using predicates grounded in the task and interface. When assistance selection is unsettled, obtain SYSE.50’s performer- and access-relative rule: the signal it consumes, the response it selects, its applicability and fallback. Implement that rule without treating confidence as a current fact, permission or resolved effect. A required fresh observation can use a direct rule without a calibrated estimator.
The following distinctions commonly matter; select those that can change this procedure.
| Observed condition | Continuation to implement |
|---|---|
| A qualified contribution supplies the needed premise | Record it as supplied and pass its usable result to the dependent action. |
| A premise is missing, contradicted or no longer applicable | Open the specific lookup or bounded request that can supply it; retain the reason for reopening. |
| The same query would repeat with the same relevant evidence and no justified refresh | Return the unresolved premise or select a different supported move; do not spend the entire budget rediscovering the same result. |
| A proposal has malformed or unsupported arguments | Return the exact binding defect through SYSE.42 before execution. |
| An invocation may have effects but its response is missing | Preserve the attempt identity and enter SYSE.26 recovery through SYSE.42 before any replay. |
| The actual completion predicate is satisfied | Return the observed result in a form the receiver can use. |
| Budget is exhausted or no permitted useful continuation remains | Return the unfinished condition and recoverable state; do not label the task complete. |
When further reasoning or tool work needs adaptive allocation, consume SYSE.51’s rule before another calculation, source inspection, sample, branch or model call. Pass it the actual intermediate result and remaining resources; enforce its completion reserve and sufficient-result stop. A cap alone does not choose a useful move before exhaustion.
Put consequential limits in the actual controlling means. For software, enforce the permitted tool set, attempt budget and uncertain-effect branch outside model-generated narrative. A human procedure requires usable cues and feasible checking; a written instruction alone does not guarantee that the person performs it. SYSE.26–28 and SYSE.40 retain interface, control and resource obligations.
Implement the chosen transitions in their supported form: a usable written sequence, supervised enactment, code or workflow definition. Connect actual inputs and returns, including failure paths, then exercise that implementation. A diagram with disconnected boxes does not supply the candidate.
