Askwiden
Record when another perspective changes which questions can be asked, not just which answers are given
Definition
Mechanism
Before consulting another perspective, the agent writes down its open questions, and afterwards it compares. An askwiden is recorded for each new question that uses a term or distinction the earlier list lacked; a new answer to an old question is not one. The new questions are candidates for a Reframe.
Invariants
- The question list is written before the other perspective is consulted.
- An askwiden is claimed only for a question that uses a term or distinction absent from the earlier list.
