    What this page is

    This is generated FPF reference text from the specification preface or supporting sections. It helps interpret FPF; it is not FPF Reference product documentation.

    Methodology

    Use it to understand how the specification wants to be read, then return to a route, pattern, or work packet for active work. Cite generated IDs only when the wording changes the task decision.

    Content

    • Situation: A DPF or project calls something information gain, learning progress, or novelty, or has articulated a result from an earlier cue, and wants to use it to choose the next probe or option.
    • Question: What result actually exists, and which downstream question, if any, is current?
    • First useful result or honest blocker: The direct result plus the first needed reliance disposition, characterization, possibility-space claim, configuration-relative comparison, ChoiceResult, or missing basis.
    • Mantra: Name the result; split ambiguous learning claims; keep each with its direct pattern. Move only to the current question: relied-on evidence, characterization or possibility space, realizable configuration comparison, or live choice. Stop when the present question is answered.
    • Start with: Use E.10.LRN only to recover a result hidden by learning; otherwise its direct pattern. Then use A.10 only for actual reliance, C.17/C.18 only for characterization/space change, C.11.CRC only for a missing finite configuration comparison, and C.11 only for a live choice.
    • Stop or return: Stop before every non-current question. Observations, objectives, and characterizations retain their identities. Route the result articulated from a cue through its direct pattern; if its A.16.1 cue pack remains current as a source or provenance, retain it separately.
