Domain Principle Frameworks
The Library’s document identities and current carriers (Library.Reference:11.1) identify the complete publications by DocID and full title. Keep complete PatternIDs or SectionRefs and enough context to identify the document when a reference must remain usable beyond its present hyperlink. Add a document qualifier only when that identity is not already clear.
This catalogue lists the Library’s complete domain pattern languages. A DPF explains Methods for a field of practice; each framework has one full public home. Four Suite folders describe composite disciplines. Ten further DPFs remain standalone, without a claim that they form another discipline together.
Use a framework whose Methods answer the working question. A supplying field may be useful in several undertakings without belonging to each undertaking’s Suite. The FPF Library Architectural Reference explains those distinctions, the boundaries of the four Suites and their relations to transdisciplinary FPF Core. Using FPF and its DPF Suites explains how to find, read and connect the needed contributions.
Suites
| Suite | Constituents | Architectural explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Engineering DPF Suite | Four direct DPFs for constructing, changing and sustaining functioning systems, with routes to organizational and human-capability specialization. | Engineering Suite Architectural Reference |
| Management DPF Suite | Twelve DPFs connecting direction, commitments, resources, client variation, organizational construction and joint work. | Management Suite Architectural Reference |
| Foundational Thinking DPF Suite | Five DPFs for developing and using mathematical, physical and computational knowledge, models and notation. | Foundational Thinking Suite Architectural Reference |
| Human Capability Engineering DPF Suite | Complete HCD and SOM languages for the currently covered learning-and-somatic part of forming, changing, restoring and maintaining human capabilities. | Human Capability Engineering Suite Architectural Reference (HCE) |
Further domain frameworks
These entries retain their own subject boundaries. Their order is for lookup, not a prescribed sequence of work.
Patterns counts the complete pattern bodies in each linked DPF. Text, M characters gives the size of its full Markdown file, including its embedded Reference and supporting sections, in millions of Unicode characters (1 M = 1,000,000), with spaces and original line breaks included and values rounded to three decimals.
| Domain pattern language | Patterns | Text, M characters | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Narrativization and Narrative Studies DPF (NSTD) | 8 | 0.306 | turning selected source structure into a followable narrative while preserving recoverability, evidence limits, agency boundaries, viewpoint choices and source return; human and automated narrativization. |
| Implementation Facilitation DPF (IS) | 7 | 0.194 | agreeing, constructing, adapting and continuing facilitation for an interpretable practice under its actual conditions; working across unequal influence, designing interventions with participants and context, and developing recipients’ further facilitation capability. |
| Decision Design DPF (PSDA) | 18 | 0.792 | problem formulation, ends and means, constructed alternatives, consequence and uncertainty accounts, comparisons and warranted recommendations; engagement, participation, facilitation and follow-up connect those results to their intended use. |
| Research Method Practice DPF (RMP) | 11 | 0.555 | qualifying a research question or answering it from existing sources; comparing approaches and selecting a design; operationalization and sampling; records and provenance; claim analysis and criticism; reproducibility, replication and triangulation; corpus synthesis; revision and return of knowledge contributions; and retention or improvement of research Methods. |
| Defense and Transmission Modeling DPF (DTM) | 9 | 0.158 | dependence and consequences; exposure, uptake and reconstruction; coupled continuation and spread; selection within and among collectives; variant interaction; diversion of shared support; protective targets; and response costs, memory and feedback. |
| Economic Reasoning and Coordination DPF (ECO) | 10 | 0.133 | economic calculation and price response; exchange discovery; resource commitments; private information and incentives; adaptation under dependence; shared resources; local and wider orders; institutional change; and resource use after demand responds to efficiency. |
| Embodied Rhythmics DPF (RHY) | 14 | 0.271 | identifying rhythmic relations; continuous sound and movement with articulation; timing, representations and translation; comparison and transformation; action and cue allocation; shared reference and simultaneous layers; human practice, capability probes and observation; connected cultural uses through Music and Dance Practice Engineering. |
| Explanation Design DPF (EXD) | 6 | 0.134 | explanatory questions and their subject grounds; worked examples and their limits; coordinated expression; responsive dialogue; targeted feedback and another learner attempt; and worthwhile repair for the recipient and task. Includes instructional, technical and advisory, and human–AI profiles. |
| Financial Domain Modeling DPF (FDM) | 5 | 0.105 | financial positions, rights and obligations; boundaries of parties and groups; contractual events and payment flows; effects of approvals, postings and payments; and the contribution of a financial service to a participant’s result. |
| Music and Dance Practice Engineering DPF (MDPE) | 22 | 0.974 | embodied capability; engineered performing configurations and supporting environments; coordination; generation; performance; observation; recognition; learning and transmission; alternatives; local change; style development; and cultural continuation in Music and Dance practice. |
Each complete DPF contains its own Architectural Reference and full pattern bodies. Consult that account when the framework’s arrangement, common conditions or connected use need explanation. A sufficient individual pattern can be used directly.
