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 participant asks for a regulation, procedure, plan, interface description, permission text, evidence note, gate record, publication, or AI tool-use plan. Ask first which use is current for the text: preserve meaning and boundary claims, prepare enactment, support reliance or a gate, or publish already governed content. The reader inspects only the branch selected by that question.
Branch A: preserve meaning and boundary claims.
A.6 Solution -> Claim Registeror an equivalent small claim set classified as L, A, D, and E when one text mixes definitions, admissibility, commitments, and evidence claims.A.3.2 Solution -> U.MethodDescriptionwhen the result describes a reusable semantic way of doing under conditions.A.2.8 Solution -> U.Commitmentwhen an accountable subject's obligation, permission, or prohibition, scope, validity window, and referents are the actual result.- If
interfacestill hides whether the current claim concerns a signature, slot, module interface, functional port, protocol, service relation, or publication, use A.6.RSIR only to select the direct governing pattern, retain a reduced-use source label, or return a blocker. RSIR does not produce the downstream interface result. Once the direct claim is recovered, use its pattern and exact result; use A.6.M directly only for a recovered module-interface relation.
Branch B: prepare enactment.
A.15.2 Solution -> U.WorkPlanwhen stating intended dated work, PlanItems, assignments, resources, windows, or sequencing constraints is current.C.24 Solution -> CallPlan | CheckpointReturnwhen tool-call enactment is current: useCallPlanafter routes and budgeted execution are fixed enough, orCheckpointReturnwhile bounded probing remains the honest result.A.15.5 Solution -> WorkEntryReadiness@Contextonly when intended work already exists and readiness to cross its work boundary is current.
Branch C: support reliance or a gate.
A.10 Solution -> claim-bound evidence-provenance graph relationwhen a named receiving use relies on recovering the basis for one claim or effect through evidence-producing or interpreting work, trace, time window, and bounded use.B.3 Solution -> Assurance(H, C | K, S)or an explicit no-assurance-claim disposition when the text is expected to carry a named assurance claim rather than merely point to evidence.A.21 Solution -> OperationalGate(profile) use with GateProfile, effective GateCheckRefs, aggregated CV status, GateDecision, and DecisionLogRefwhen exposing an actual gate decision is current. A readable checklist is not that decision.
Branch D: publish governed content.
-
E.17 Solution -> source-pinned publication facewhen readable, exchangeable, or citable publication of an already governed episteme or relation is current without changing the underlying claim. -
Boundaries. Stop when the selected branch yields the exact result needed by its receiving use. Return to branch selection when the expected use changes. A single document may cite results from several branches, but page proximity does not merge their kinds or transfer their claims to a different governing pattern. RSIR stops at pattern selection, reduced-use source labeling, or a blocker; it never certifies that an interface relation now exists.
-
Public coarsening. "Working document" is only a recognizable situation label. The expansion restores the selected branch, direct pattern, exact result, and receiving use.
