Chapter 23 · Change one dimension and preserve the evidence

Plan a versioned change to participants, sensing, rules or environment with a scoped retest.

Method and rule context Environment is a separate proposal Preserved participants and relationships

Why this matters

Changing a sensor or rule can alter what an observation means or which response is permitted.

The chapter’s modularity ambition is strongest when changes are recorded and compared rather than silently declared equivalent.

Step by step

01
Choose one bounded change
Screen or control: Chapter 23 four change discussions
Why: A narrow change makes cause and effect inspectable.
How: Choose a proposed sensor substitution, rule revision or cloud-pattern change. State which records change and which original references must remain unchanged.
What you should see: A scoped version-difference plan.
Verify: No source record is overwritten and no identity equivalence is inferred.
02
Define a before-and-after evaluation
Screen or control: P3 rules and P4 unbound design
Why: Counting generated configurations is not measured improvement.
How: Specify pinned inputs, expected behavior, missing evidence, a failure case and a comparison metric. Preserve both hypothetical outcomes until an actual evaluation is run.
What you should see: A reproducible retest specification.
Verify: Improvement is not claimed without a measured receipt.

What is happening under the surface

Separate four change classes: exact participant, sensing context, governing rule and operating environment.

A new proposal preserves parent version, original participant references, change reason, evidence, unknowns and replay results. Changing a platform handle never replaces the asset identity.

Common mistakes

Assuming a changed setting is safe because the architecture is reusable.
Counting many generated alternatives as learning without feedback and measured adjustment.

The records an agent needs

Protocol family/version and configuration remain distinct. The demo supports inspection; proposed versioning and retest plans do not imply saved run history or adaptive training.

Apply what you learned

Prepare these outputs

Parent/child proposal distinction
One changed dimension
Preserved exact references
Pinned inputs and before/after metric
Failure and authority gates

Review your work against these checks

Old evidence is retained
Changed semantics are reviewed
Compatibility and learning are not claimed from generation alone

Check your reasoning

A rule was changed and many configurations generated. What proves improvement?

Modularity is a design goal, not a guarantee that any replacement works or any platform is supported without implementation and retesting.

Current governance adds exact-source retention, unknown-state, disclosure, validation and scoped-authority safeguards. Those safeguards are not represented as quotations from the historical book.

Numeric lesson numbers are educational content locators, not GS1 identities. Linked public screens use an anonymous non-issued fixture; reading, retrieval and practice do not authorize physical/cloud execution or constitute model-weight training.
