SYSE.5:4.3 - What Changes in Practice

Engineers stop asking which named component implements each box and start asking which materially different arrangements can produce the required outside effect under the actual use conditions.

Failed feasibility changes the smallest affected functional or bearer claim instead of silently collapsing the candidate set or restarting the whole project.
