Start with “finish the system model”

That goal may include requirements, use cases, block definitions, internal blocks, and state diagrams. It has no stable single-run completion condition, and an early deviation can propagate into later diagrams.

Definition

A one-diagram unit of work groups one diagram type, one resolved mount point, one write, and one acceptance receipt into a transaction boundary.

one user operation = one diagram type + one scope_ref + one WriteSet + one receipt

The boundary defines what may change, which invariants are checked, what the receipt counts, and what a rollback must restore. Larger goals proceed through multiple accepted units.

Boundary

This unit does not guarantee cross-diagram consistency. An upper-level plan still manages dependencies, versions, and acceptance order. If the host lacks atomic transactions, the adapter needs before-state snapshots, compensation steps, and an explicit partial-failure state.

Provenance

  • Initial research source: the AI4MBSE personal research project by Liangding Yuan; the name is an ADPS synthesis.
  • Lineage: Unit of Work, Command, and transaction boundaries.
  • ADPS contribution: combines diagram type, engineering scope, candidate structure, receipt, and rollback into one agent write-back boundary.
  • Definition status: candidate concept.
