Domain vs Target Line
Last updated 10/7/2026
A domain names the field of a question. It does not select a target line by itself.
Your task is to complete a four-field contract before looking for a line. If the contract exposes a compound request, an outside authority, or a demand for certainty, narrow, refer, or stop before casting.
The four-field contract
| Field | Record | Test |
|---|---|---|
| Domain | The broad field: career, wealth, health, relationship, legal, travel, documents, weather, or broad life | Does this label only orient the question? |
| Exact subject | One person, object, process, or event | Can it be underlined without “and”? |
| Requested output | The one thing the reader wants to know or produce | Is it bounded and open to uncertainty? |
| Selection method | Six Relative, World, Response, hidden line, transformed carrier, or another accepted route | Is the method supported by the earlier selection lessons? |
The target is recorded only after all four fields pass. A label such as “career” or “relationship” is not a chart line.
Route the evidence before the target
Use the Act 9 evidence labels in this order:
- Mark direct observations as
external factorchart fact. - Attach an exact locator to any
received rule. - Mark a cited case statement as
source record, not proof. - Mark this four-field contract and all Act 9 checklists as
UAYA workflow. - Refer any unresolved external fact to the authority that owns it.
Only then return to the accepted target-selection sequence.
Worked exercise
Example type: invented exercise; no chart and no outcome.
Prompt: “Which WWG lesson should I practise during my next study block?”
| Field | Entry |
|---|---|
| Domain | Course practice |
| Exact subject | The learner’s next study block |
| Requested output | A choice between chart construction and target-selection practice |
| Decision owner | The learner |
| Evidence lane | UAYA workflow plus the learner’s available time and completed prerequisites |
| Routing decision | Continue as a low-stakes planning exercise |
| Target-selection handoff | Record the declared task before any chart work |
The exercise does not claim that a cast improves study planning. Its job is to make the routing fields reproducible.
Counterexample: one sentence, two tasks
Prompt: “Should I submit the course assignment today, and will the reviewer approve it?”
The first clause is an owned scheduling choice. The second belongs to another person’s future decision. Split the prompt. The approval question is referred to the stated review process; it does not receive a target line.
Trap and stopping condition
Do not use a domain label to repair a vague request. “Tell me about my career” still lacks an exact subject and requested output. Do not use a target role to answer a question owned by an institution, professional, measurement, current data source, or another person’s agency.
Stop when any field remains unresolved. No target selected is the correct record, not a failed reading.
Source and scope note: The four-field record, evidence order, and routing decisions are UAYA teaching workflows. Received target-selection rules and their locators remain in Selection Methods; this page does not add a domain shortcut.
Next, apply the contract to institutional and livelihood questions: Career, Exams, Officials.
