The screen, the questions and the judgments read in English where an English reading has been made. The Korean originals are unchanged, and evidence stays in the language it was written in.

The reply came, but the decision cannot be known

1949The past, rebuiltDeadline · Within 30 days, before revising the handling method

Reconstruction of the past

The date of the source material is 1949-01-01. Only the stated texts of that period are used as background; the three situational premises and the later branching are invented. Actual outcomes later known, amended systems, or success stories are not used as facts in the initial input. This is a modern retrospective question construction, not a claim that people of that time made this decision.

The question to decide

Notifying only receipt and whether it is under review allows quick answers to many petitions, but applicants find it hard even to know whether their request was accepted. Promising next steps can create expectations about outcomes the institution cannot control. What must be communicated, and how far must commitments go, before a petition response can be considered complete?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Complete after notifying receipt and whether it is under review

    It responds quickly to many petitions, but applicants cannot easily learn the substantive judgment and the next choices available to them.

  2. Option 2

    Complete after informing the decision and its reasons

    It reveals the outcome of handling a request, but a clear explanation is also needed when the agency lacks authority or lacks materials.

  3. Option 3

    Commit even to the next action and the next point of confirmation

    It links the response to the actual course of events, but the agency may end up answerable for outcomes it cannot control.

The situation as it stands

The reconstructed agency sends a reply to every petition, but many replies end by saying the matter was received and is under review. Deadline for decision: within 30 days, through a revision of the handling method.

Reconstruction of the past as of 1949-01-01 · A reply was sent to the petition, but what had been decided was not written down. A fictional matter newly built from the principles of documents of that era. The organizations, people, figures, and events shown are not real decision-making records.

  1. Premise 1The reconstructed agency sends a reply to every petition, but many replies end by saying the matter was received and is under review.
  2. Premise 2The applicant cannot tell whether the request was accepted or rejected, and so cannot decide on the next action.
  3. Premise 3If the agency promises implementation for every petition, it can create expectations even for demands outside its authority.

Signals to decide again

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

A petitioner who had repeatedly been told the matter was under review learned that it had already been closed internally.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

For requests requiring consultation outside the agency, a next point of confirmation that can be set in the meantime has been proposed.

Material and rootsThe frame, the values and the background documents
symbolic and interpretive frame · The story of Solomon's judgment

What losses does the very procedure for revealing the truth inflict on the stakeholder?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
