Family	`method`: The method as written, the validation vocabulary included.
Domain	`method`: the method's author acts, by changing the method
Retry	`no`: repeating the operation fails the same way
HTTP status	`422`
Raised as	a problem document, sent as the body of an HTTP response or kept in a run's record

What it means

Concepts refine or refer to each other, or pipes call each other, in a loop.

What to do

Follow params.cycle and remove one of its links, such as a refinement or a call that leads back to its start.

Next steps

A problem carries the step aimed at whoever reads it: the first when its reader is the domain's actor, the method's author, and the second for any other reader.

Reader	Kind	Detail
The domain's actor	`change_method`	Break the cycle by removing one of its links, then validate the method again.
Any other reader	`contact_owner`	Ask the method's owner to break the cycle.
