    ARCHITECTURE - Shape architecture from problem pressure

    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 and question. Architecture-relevant problem pressure and competing characteristics are present, but the project needs to carry them toward candidate, selected, expected, or actual structures. Ask: which architecturing flow or description-use result is needed first?
    • Optional obstacle. Candidate structures, architecture characteristics, or the relation between problem pressure and structure are not yet reviewable.
    • Template A. C.32.P2S Solution -> ProblemToStructureArchitecturingFlowCard@Project. Select when the connected problem-to-structure flow is current. Local basis adds architecture-relevant pressure refs and current architecture-characteristic refs when available.
    • Template B. C.30.AD Solution -> ArchitectureDescriptionUseCard@Project. Select when an existing architecture description or view is already the object being used and its admissible-use boundary is current.
    • Boundaries. Stop when the selected first card makes the receiving architecture work reviewable. Return when problem pressure, EntityOfConcern, characteristics, description edition, or actual-structure feedback changes. Wrong-turn recovery sends a diagram-as-architecture claim to C.30 and C.33. Stronger neighbors are C.32 synthesis, C.32.PAD decision, A.15 work, E.23 improvement, or G.11 currentness according to the next claim.
    • Public coarsening. "Architecture working card" restores to one of the two exact project cards; it does not denote architecture itself.
