    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 project needs the current plural field of methods, theories, technologies, or design options rather than one favored source. Ask first what source and tradition synthesis is adequate, then which stewardship relation is current for the resulting candidates.
    • Template A. G.2 Solution -> SoTA Synthesis Pack@CG-Frame. Select when the immediate need is a reconstructible SoTA_Set@CG-Frame and SoTAPaletteDescription with rival traditions, claim rows, evidence anchors, crossings, and source-use boundaries.
    • Conditional walkthrough. If later use relies on retained generated or harvested variants, use C.18 -> ExplorationArchiveRecord@Context; if later use relies on exposed non-dominated variants, use C.18 -> FrontRecord@Context; if a still-live pool needs treatment, use C.19 -> PoolPolicyResult; if a selector-facing set is to be published, use G.5 -> Shortlist | RankedShortlist | another declared selector outcome. These are conditional continuations, not synonyms or serial stages.
    • Boundaries. Stop at the pack when downstream stewardship is not current. Return when scope, traditions, source editions, evidence anchors, or harvest policy changes. Archive, front, live pool, and selected set keep different membership, policy, and publication meanings; no prose summary may collapse them.
    • Public coarsening. "SoTA portfolio" restores to the G.2 pack and, only when current, the exact C.18, C.19, or G.5 continuation result.
