Work with an AI assistant

Follow Using FPF and its DPF Suites. Give the assistant the actual situation, constraints, observations and relevant publications. A useful request is:

Help me work through this engineering situation: [describe it]. Read the relevant FPF and DPF patterns, identify the result we need next and help construct it. Explain the reasoning in ordinary engineering language, show the PatternIDs used and identify missing facts that could change the answer.

Judge the answer against the Method and the actual evidence. An assistant can search, calculate, compare, draft and challenge reasoning. Its output does not establish a person’s new capability, an operating system, legitimate authority or an observation that has not been made.

The Method-vertical examples (Engineering.Reference:25.1) help recover the larger work performed through an action and the intermediate abilities and resources it requires.
