    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. A governed value needs a stable Tech or Plain label across a bounded context. Ask: which name lets readers recover the value without changing its kind or scope?
    • Optional obstacle. Candidate labels carry conflicting senses, hidden kinds, or misleading morphology.
    • Template A. F.18 Solution -> NameCard. Local basis adds governed value, governing pattern, bounded context, candidate set, rejected candidates, rationale, bridges, lineage, and refresh condition.
    • Boundaries. Stop at a complete NameCard when no public term publication is current. Return when governed value, context, candidate evidence, reader interpretation, or bridge changes. Wrong-turn recovery restores the governed value before selecting a label. F.17 becomes the stronger neighbor only when actual term-row publication is current.
    • Public coarsening. "Naming card" restores to NameCard.
