#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

• Multi-function: actTypes is a set. If one utterance performs multiple recognizable acts (e.g., “approve + instruct + warn”), the model may either:

  • identify one speech-act occurrence and let its SpeechActRecord state multiple satisfied actTypes, or
  • identify multiple actual speech-act occurrences and give each its own SpeechActRef; their records may share the same carrierRefs/utteranceRefs. In either case, institutional effects must remain referenceable (SA‑C5).

• Multi-party: addressedTo is a set and may include roles/parties/assignments. If addressees matter for validity (e.g., “approval by CAB chair to deployment bot”), they should be explicit.
