    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

    The following terms MUST NOT name scope objects in normative text, guards, or conformance blocks:

    • applicability, envelope, generality, capability envelope, validity (as a characteristic name).

    Use instead:

    • U.ClaimScope (Claim scope, nick G) for epistemes;
    • U.WorkScope (Work scope) for capabilities;
    • U.Scope only when explaining the abstract mechanism (not in guards).
