Appendix Part I — Practice

Using and Extending MAGE

This part turns from the argument to its use. The appendices that follow provide working references, methods, and extensions for applying MAGE in different engineering settings. They are meant to be consulted as needed, not read in sequence.

Table 8.0-1. The practice appendices — each beside the question that sends you to it.

How do several mechanisms compose into a useful engineering capability?	Appendix A — Engineering Stacks
I've seen this problem before. What engineering move might travel?	Appendix B — Engineering Moves
What exactly does one of the book's teaching models contain or guarantee?	Appendix C — Model Reference
What should I inspect or do while operating a governed engineering environment?	Appendix D — Operator's Reference
How do I externalize a body of engineering judgment as a mastery-skill?	Appendix E — How to Write a Skill
How does MAGE's adoption change across a product's lifecycle surfaces?	Appendix F — Configuring MAGE Across the Product Lifecycle

The online MAGE Mechanism Catalog carries what print leaves out: the complete living repertoire of mechanisms, implementation variants, and deeper case realizations.
